Bought an unlocked Samsung Galaxy A5 from Amazon (2007, SM-A520F), inserted my Telus SIM, everything worked except MMS (could not send or receive).
Called Telus support, they sent the APN and MMS configuration profiles, which fixed the MMS but broke data completely.
Spent 30 minutes on the phone with support, tried a bunch of access point configurations, no luck (data won't come back).
Did a factory reset on the phone, data (LTE) came back, but MMS is broken again 😞
Suggestions?
Current access point settings:
Name: TELUS
APN: sp.telus.com
MMSC: http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mmsc
Multimedia message proxy: 74.49.0.18
Multimedia message port: 80
MCC: 302
MNC: 220
APN Type: default,mms,supl
APN Protocol: IPv6
APN roaming Protocol: IPv4
Mobile virtual network operator type: GID
Mobile virtual network operator value: 54
All other values are not set.
Thanks!

Your settings do not match those from Telus' support page for MMS. Using an IP address for a proxy or server is a bad idea as they can change from time to time. The multimedia message port on your settings is also incorrect.
Update the form fields with the TELUS APN settings in the table below.
This table lists the correct APN settings for our 3G (HSPA) or 4G LTE services. Other fields may be present. They can be left blank and unchanged, and they will not impact your use of the service.
Note: Enter the details exactly as listed below. Errors may prevent the service from working.
Field Entry Details
Name TELUS The name is only the description of the APN, and does not impact the settings on device. For convenience, enter TELUS. APN sp.telus.com Access Point Name: Data and picture messaging will not work without this entry. MMSC http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mmsc MMSC settings allow the handset to send and download picture and video messages (MMS). Some incoming MMS will still display without these settings. However, it will be impossible to send any MMS without them. MMS Proxy mmscproxy.mobility.ca As above. MMS Port 8799 As above. MCC 302 Mobile Country Code: Unique identifier for the mobile phone operator/carrier. MNC 220 Mobile Network Code: Another unique identifier. APN type default,supl,mms Note: Do not leave any spaces when entering default,supl,mms for services used on APN. When an application accesses the network, it provides an APN type when it requests access for data. If default,supl,mms is not an option, choose internet&MMS option from list.
Some Samsung devices have also had issues with IPv6 enabled.
