How to send MMS using non-Smart Phone?
Hi,
I have this Alcatel OT 871A phone I have used for a few years with PM. This is NOT a Smart Phone. See here:
https://www.gsmarena.com/alcatel_ot_870-4729.php
I can send SMS text no problem. The phone can also be set up to send MMS but when I try it never gets sent and I get an error message "Configuration Error!"
Nothing I have tried so far works. I have made sure that Data is turned on.
I have the following setup screen with the following entries:
APN = sp.telus.com ( I have also tried isp.telus.com)
Username = <blank>
Password = <blank>
Authorization Type = Normal
Under Advanced Settings:
Homepage = <blank>
Connection Type = HTTP
Use Proxy = No
(I have also tried:
Proxy = Yes, Proxy Address = 74.49.0.18, Proxy Port = 80, Proxy User Name = <blank., Proxy Password = <blank> )
Primary DNS = 000.000.000.000
Secondary DNS = 000.000.000.000
IP Address = 000.000.000.000
Subnet Mask = 000.000.000.000
Ok. I finally figured it out, with some help from another forum:
Name: Public Mobile
Access name: sp.telus.com
Auth type: Normal
Under Advanced:
Protocol: HTTP
HOMEPAGE Url: http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mmsc
Use Proxy: Yes
Proxy Address: 74.49.0.18:80 [port is in next field]
Port: 80
That does the trick... I can now send AND receive MMS. YAY!

After playing around some more I notice that thought I cannot SEND any MMS, I can RECEIVE MMS....at least from an iPhone (I have yet to try to get anything from a ono=iPhone)
If I set the APN = sp.telus.com, I receive the MMS BUT I can only read the Subject line and CANNOT see the content.
If I set the APN = isp.telus.com, then I can receive the MMS AND can read the content. Again, these are from an iPhone (from Public Mobile, in case that also makes a difference).
I still also eventually continue to get the message "Configuration Error."
So I am still stumped as to how to be able to SEND MMS.

This is great, thanks.
