Setting up MMS on Beeline: how to connect and install automatically or manually?

Features of MMS Beeline

The multimedia messaging service uses the operator's WAP servers as an intermediate storage for forwarded data. If one subscriber sends another MMS (picture, photograph, music file), the recipient receives a text notification from the operator with an offer to download the sent information to his phone. This procedure is only possible if you first connect to the device “Package of three services”, which allows you to use the main data transmission channels - MMS, GPRS-Internet and WAP.

The cost of an outgoing multimedia message depends on the current tariff plan and can vary from 1.60 to 7.95 rubles. At the same time, the service does not provide for a subscription fee for postpaid and prepaid tariffs and any charges for its activation by the user. The exception is the situation when traveling within Russia or being in international roaming. Here the sender will also have to pay for GPRS traffic, taking into account the nuance that the networks of some cellular operators limit the size of one multimedia message to 300 KB.

In this regard, Beeline is much more democratic and imposes less strict limits on MMS size for its users:

• to a phone from another provider – up to 500 KB;

sending within the network – up to 1 MB;

• sending text – up to 1000 characters.

Very often, when setting up an Internet connection on your phone, the Beeline MMS service is disabled by default to optimize the device settings. Many mobile device manufacturers consider the Internet a universal communication channel and adhere to the rational point of view that an experienced subscriber will always activate additional data exchange technology if he really needs it.

How much does it cost to send an MMS message on Beeline?

The cost of sending MMS depends on the selected tariff. Users of most tariff plans will have to pay 6.6 rubles for sending MMS. Exceptions are users of the “Communication Monster” tariff. The cost of an outgoing MMS is only 1.5 rubles. The cost of the “First Children” tariff is 3 rubles. 95 kopecks. The service is activated free of charge.

How to set up MMS on a Beeline phone

The first step of setup is to check if the Triple Pack is available on your device. To do this you can:

• visit the Services section in your Personal Account.

For subscribers who have not yet logged in to the operator’s website, our thematic article My Beeline Personal Account: managing services in one click will be useful.

If the query reveals that a key option is missing, you must activate it immediately. To activate the “Package of Three Services”, it is most convenient to use a special USSD request *110*181#. You can also contact a consultant at 0611 or visit the nearest provider office.

The online service Personal Account is also becoming increasingly popular, where you need to go to the Services section, select the Available category, find the “Package of three services” option and click the Connect button. These same capabilities are available in a special version of the Personal Account for smartphones and tablets – the “My Beeline” mobile application, which is available on the provider’s website in modifications for various OSes.

After activating the “Package of Three Services” you will need to perform automatic or manual configuration of MMS Beeline for a specific mobile device.

How to set up MMC on Beeline automatically

A convenient option for receiving automatic settings is a free call to a special number 0880. In response to this action, the operator will send a service SMS message with network access parameters. To save the settings, you will need to enter a four-digit password, which by default is represented by a simple set of numbers - 1234. You can also use a separate technical number 060432 or 06741015 to automatically receive MMS configuration data.

Please note that new phone settings may not be accepted by the OS and SIM card until the device is rebooted.

Another way to gain access to sending and reading multimedia messages is the operator’s website. Here you need to open a special page “Getting settings for your phone” (moskva.beeline.ru/customers/help/mobile/mobilnyy-internet/nastroika-telefona).

In the form that opens, the subscriber will need to enter manually or find their device model in the Entire list and click the Select button. After this, you need to sequentially click on the MMS and Yes buttons, proceed to setting up MMS.

If for a specific modification of the device the operator has an automatic MMS configuration, you will have access to a line for entering the phone number to which a service SMS message will be sent.

Why MMS does not work on Beeline

If you are unable to send MMS, it is recommended to do the following:

1. Check your Internet connection or GPRS signal. See if this indicator is lit. It is located in the upper right corner of the mobile phone.
2. Check whether the number of the subscriber for whom the message is intended is specified correctly.
3. Visit the Settings section in your phone's menu. There may have been an error in data entry during manual setup.
4. If none of the above helps, it is recommended to contact the nearest Beeline office, the address of which can be found on the company’s official website.

Please note that if the user's phone is turned off or the SIM card is faulty, MMS will not be sent.

What is MMS

MMS is a multimedia version of SMS. In addition to text, it can be used to send photographs, audio recordings, and short videos. The size of such a message is limited to 500 KB, which is equal to 1000 characters of a text message. The price of such a service depends on the tariff plan used by the subscriber. However, most often it is about 8 rubles, and some provide a package to use MMS for free. You can find out how much it costs to send one multimedia message in Russia and abroad by calling the hotline and on the website. One of the advantages of MMS is the ability to send letters by email.

Unfortunately, this type of communication has not become as popular as SMS, so Beeline continues to include it in the “Three Servants” package, but sends MMS settings only upon request.

In some cases, the data comes in the form of messages to the phone. The configurations must be launched and saved, after which the phone must be rebooted. However, increasingly, users are faced with the need to manually configure MMS in Beeline.

Pros and cons of the service

Although MMS is not considered the most popular service among mobile operators, it has several advantages:

• no need to make additional uploads of files to hosting and file sharing services;
• you can send video and audio recordings, as long as the total size does not exceed 500 MB;
• You can send to the selected e-mail and to the numbers of any operators in Russia.

There are also disadvantages - this is the limited shelf life of MMS, which in Beeline is 72 hours. If the subscriber does not view the data during this time, it will be automatically deleted. This service must also be configured on the receiving phone.

The cost of sending varies depending on the chosen tariff. For example, in the “All for...” line, the cost of one shipment is 6.45 rubles.

Automatic setup

Before connecting MMS, you need to make sure that the phone really is not currently operating in this mode. You can check in two ways:

• on the hotline 0611 (88007000611);
• in your Personal Account on the Beeline website or in the mobile application in the “Services” section.

If the function is not active, you can connect MMS to Beeline using the USSD command *110*181# or via a link in your personal account. The first step is to get the so-called three-service package, which also includes Internet setup. Once you have access to this package, you can proceed with further actions. You can set up MMS on Beeline only taking into account the phone model that will be used to receive and send messages. In mobile mode, you can call line 060432, where, using the autoinformer prompts, the subscriber selects his own device and sends himself the settings.

The cost of the message that is requested to install MMS is 0, the same as the cost of setup at the company office.

Setting up MMS via the Internet works in the same way. On the service activation page, you select your phone model, enter the number, and send data for a specific gadget to it. In the case of automatic settings, it is enough to save everything and reboot the device.

How to connect MMS on Beeline

To access the Internet and enable the MMS function, you need to activate a package of three services. It includes MMS, GPRS, WAP. The last service will not be needed, since it is only relevant for outdated phone models.

You can check whether your phone supports receiving/sending MMS messages by reading the instructions for your mobile device.

Connecting mobile Internet and multimedia messages are the necessary options. To activate the MMS service without the Internet, dial the free number 060432 and follow the instructions.

To install the MMS service from Beeline using a USSD request, use the connection command: *110*181#. Next, follow the instructions written on the phone screen.

How to send MMS

Sending such a message is very simple; just select “Send MMS” in the menu at the object you plan to send. Or immediately create an MMS message and load the necessary data into it, enter the subscriber’s number or e-mail and click on “Send”.
