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 proble...
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.
One small correction.... it should read Name: Telus Mobility (though it does not impact anything)
