Many customers' mobile phones do not have sufficient characteristics to play all media files well, and such users are wondering whether MMS can be opened on other devices.
How to view MMS in your Tele2 personal account?
Your personal account has a wide range of functions, but, unfortunately, viewing messages is not among them. However, the operator offers a convenient service - the ability to view Tele2 MMS via the Internet. You do not need to have a mobile device that supports this feature to receive messages. Users whose devices do not support receiving this type of messages receive Legacy MMS.
Legacy MMS is an SMS message that contains a link to the MMS Gallery and a PIN code for viewing. Such files are stored on a special server and can be viewed through the free MMS Gallery.
How to use the free MMS gallery
There are two ways to open the Gallery:
- Through the operator's website: • open the operator's website; • select your region of residence; • go to “WAP/MMS/Internet/MMS/MMS-Gallery”.
- Using a direct link: • in the address bar of your browser, enter the address contained in the received message; • wait until the main page opens; • enter your phone number in the format (79XXXXXXXXXX); • enter the PIN code of the received message; • click “View MMS”.
To view Legacy, one of the modern browsers can be used: Internet Explorer 6,7,8; Mozilla Firefox 2.3; Opera 8.9; Chrome 3, Safari 3.4.
The subscriber can open the message within 7 days - this is how long unviewed messages are stored on the server. You can view the image only once, after which it is deleted. To use the service again, you must enter a new login and password. Therefore, it is recommended to save the file on your computer. To do this, click on the “Save” button located in the upper right corner of the screen.

There is nothing complicated in the procedure, especially if you follow the instructions below. Just enter the received data in the appropriate fields.
So, go to the phone menu and look for the item with installation/settings of MMS parameters. The section will display a window with fields in which we enter:
- profile name - think of anything, Tele2 is possible;

- IP – enter 193.12.40.65 (carefully, don’t make a mistake);
- operator server – //mmsc.tele2.ru ;
- port – 8080, if the phone is an outdated model, then port 9201;
- the access point is the same as the home server - mmsc.tele2.ru;
- subscriber name – leave blank;

In this case, your phone will automatically register with the service.
If the message is not sent and the phone gives an error, then go to the section and carefully check all the fields for errors. If the MMS passed without any error notes, then no verification is required, everything was done correctly.
