Modern methods of transferring media files are very diverse: email, special applications, social networks. However, there are still those users who prefer to use MMS services. This method of transferring files is very simple and does not cause difficulties, however, it happens that media files are not sent or cannot be downloaded. Let's look at the reasons causing the problem, as well as effective methods for solving it.
We are not responsible for your actions. We recommend contacting a service center to resolve the problem.
Why won't MMS load on Android and how to fix it?
If a problem is detected, it is first recommended to contact your cellular operator and make sure that this service (MMS) is active for your number or tariff plan. It happens that media messages do not open on Android because you are in a region where this service is not supported. Activating the Internet and requesting MMS settings will not help here.
The first step is to call the operator and find out the details of accessing services for a specific number. If the answer is positive, you need to request automatic MMS settings, which are sent to the number in the form of SMS. After saving the sent settings, you need to restart the gadget. The service will be activated. Previously sent media messages will become available for viewing.
Important: when contacting your operator, do not forget to specify the model and series of Android. Individual settings are provided for each specific model.
If the option to install automatic settings is not available, for some reason, the user will have to install the service manually. Detailed instructions are presented below.
Service cost
The cost of MMS messages depends on the client’s tariff plan.
If mms are sent frequently, you can connect a separate service with suitable packages. After the subscriber sends an mms, a fee is charged, but it is not refunded if the recipient's number is specified incorrectly (this must be monitored separately).
The subscriber receives all incoming messages in the home region for free, and conditions may change while moving to other areas. As a result, viewing MMS while roaming may cost a fee.
How to set up MMS reception and downloading on your phone yourself - algorithm:
- connect a Wi-Fi system or mobile Internet. If you use the latter, make sure that you have connected the Internet for a specific SIM card if your smartphone belongs to the duo category and you use two SIM cards;
- go to the general settings menu and start “calibration”;
- select the “wireless networks” sub-item, go to the “data transfer” tab and check the box to activate;
- after that, return to the “wireless networks” section and go to the “mobile networks” menu, selecting an access point;
- here we select the SIM card to which MMS will be received and from which you will send media files;
- Click on the selected card, after which two new access points should appear on the phone (for mobile Internet and for activating MMS). If this does not happen, then you will have to fill in the access point manually, based on the instructions of the cellular operator. There is no universal activation model, so in each specific case the conditions for filling out the parameters will be personal.
Possible problems
Difficulties with sending and receiving multimedia messages are not always associated with technical problems with the device or the lack of required settings on the Android smartphone. In private situations, the limitation is determined by the tariff plan. But, the user first checks the network parameters. When the problem is not in them, then the reason for the non-working MMC function is often in the following moments:
- The service may not be available in some regions. If there is such an assumption, then to clarify the functions of the tariff plan, the subscriber contacts a representative of the mobile communication provider.
- When a Samsung smartphone has 2 parallel SIM cards from different operators, then in order to receive and send MMS from them the user needs to configure each number separately.
- Sometimes a subscriber is unable to send a message with multimedia content - this may be due to the fact that the recipient’s tariff plan does not include such an option or his device uses different network parameters.
Attention!
If the case is isolated, then the problem is in the message itself - the MMS may be broken and therefore not open.
To open or send MMS from an Android smartphone, the correct settings must be set, and the service must be activated in the tariff. If these parameters are not present, then MMS on Samsung will not open. To fix this problem, the subscriber needs to set up the smartphone themselves or order it from the operator - this will make the option available. However, sometimes the inability to read or transmit multimedia messages is caused by other factors.
Features of setting up MMS for various operators:
- Megafon - in order for an automatic package of settings to be sent to you, you need to send a request by message to number 5049. After receiving the settings, you need to save them and restart Android. The service will now be active. If manual calibration is required, you must contact the operator;
- Beeline – automatic settings can be requested by calling 06741015. You can also activate the option in your Personal Account on your computer or using the mobile operator’s mobile application. To clarify the manual activation parameters, contact a company employee;
- MTS – you can activate the service by calling 1234. As an alternative, the mobile operator offers to use the Internet assistant, which is part of the MTS smartphone application;
- Tele2 - a request to connect the service is made by calling the operator. The short number for connecting the option is number 679.
- Yota – contact the call center at +7 (958) 537 06 90.
Tip: setting up MMS is a fairly simple procedure, even if you have to do it manually. However, please note that after activating the option, the cost of sending one media file will be about 7 rubles. However, the service provides for file size restrictions. It is much more convenient and economical to use modern programs and applications for free.
It is impossible to send or receive messages on the Beeline network
The no less popular operator Beeline also took care of opportunities for its customers. For this purpose, there is an official website with the possibility of personal registration and obtaining information of interest about new tariffs and services of the company. It is located at: https://uslugi.beeline.ru/. Manually entered parameters will also change slightly.
When manually entering data, the following parameters are used:
- Name - come up with any suitable name.
- APN - mms.beeline.ru.
- Login - beeline.
- Password - beeline.
- MMSC - https://mms/.
- Proxy - 192.168.94.23.
- Port - 8080.
- Point type (APN) - mms.
Communication with the operator is carried out using the toll-free short number “060432”. If none of the proposed options “works,” it is more advisable to contact the Beeline center in person.
Common causes of the problem
The first reason why you cannot send an MMS message is the file size. It may be too large to send (up to 350 KB). To fix the problem, try taking a photo in lower quality or downloading a picture with a lower resolution.
Messages may not be delivered to the recipient due to incorrect dialing. To send an MMS, you must enter the number in international format, following all the rules. It is not uncommon for users to change smartphones by moving the SIM card to another phone. Do not forget that the active MMS service on your card will be absolutely useless if the rearranged Android does not have the required settings.
Sometimes problems in the transmission of messages may lie in the fact that the recipient is a user of another cellular operator that offers different conditions for using the service.
The media message will not be delivered even if the subscriber’s phone is turned off or broken. The sent MMS will be active for 3 days; after this period, the file will be deleted and not delivered to the recipient, even if he turns on the phone.
During periods of heavy mobile network use, some services may experience interruptions. This applies to transferring or downloading MMS. In this case, the best option would be to try to send the message later.
