How to send MMS from Android

Previously (on push-button phones), in order to send an MMS, you had to select the appropriate option in the message menu. In modern smartphones, everything is much simpler: you just need to attach, for example, a photo to a text message so that it is automatically converted into a multimedia message. This also works in the opposite direction - by removing all multimedia files from the created MMS, you will turn it into an SMS message.

Conclusion

Setting up MMS on Android is very simple - just use this guide - and in a couple of minutes you will be able to send and receive multimedia messages on your smartphone.

Your question:

How to view MMS on your phone?

Master's answer:

Every person needs attention and pleasant communication. It’s very nice to receive a sweet and funny mms message from a loved one at work that will cheer you up and make you smile! What methods can you use to view mms?

A multimedia message (mms) is an analogue of the usual SMS message. However, an mms message has broader capabilities: with the help of such a message, not only text information is transmitted, but also images, short audio and video recordings are transmitted. The maximum size of an mms message is 300 kB. In addition, MMS can be sent both to a mobile phone and to email.

The services of the mobile operator Tele2 include automatic connection of all new subscribers to MMS services. Connection is free, but requires activation. To set up MMS, WAP services, as well as the Internet on the phone, the subscriber should contact the support service of the Tele2 operator by visiting its official website at http://www.spb.tele2.ru/data services settings.html. You can also call the operator toll-free number 679 and name the model of your cell phone. The operator will send you settings that will suit your phone. After this, using the operator’s instructions, you will configure the operation of MMS messages. Of course, viewing and sending MMS messages is only possible if your phone supports this communication format.

If you have received an MMS message, but it does not open because your phone model does not support this multimedia file format, you should go to the official Tele2 website, open the “MMS Gallery” page and follow the link http://t2mms.tele2 .ru/. Next, in the authorization window you must enter your mobile number, starting with seven.

The next field indicates the PIN code of the MMS message, which you can read in the received MMS - it will be on the phone screen instead of a multimedia image.

Click the “View MMS” function and, if you have entered all the data correctly into the fields, you will be able to see the contents of the MMS message.

Master's answer:

WARNING: Many virus writers distribute viruses through the offer to read MMS on their website. Therefore, if you receive an MMS from an unfamiliar number, or a link to an unfamiliar site, then you should not expose your phone, computer or laptop to the risk of infection by visiting this site or viewing MMS.
Remember that it’s easier for your friends and relatives to send you a photo by mail than to set up MMS on your phone? Beware of viruses in the MMS itself and on the sites suggested for viewing them.

Many cell phone models support a feature such as MMS, that is, multimedia messaging service. Using this function, you can send or receive various images, sound files, videos or large text. But if for some reason your phone cannot read the MMS that came to you or it does not support such a function at all, then you can easily view the information on a computer that has Internet access.

If your mobile phone cannot receive such a message, then your telecom operator will send you an SMS message informing you that you have received an MMS. If your telecom operator is MegaFon, then in order to read the message in the future, save the password sent to you. Now on your computer in any browser, enter the address of the Internet page specified in the message in the address bar. Go to this page, then enter the password in the appropriate field in order to gain access to the sent MMS.

If your number belongs to the MTS operator, then to read the message, register on the MMS portal of the telecom operator. You will find a link to the required website in the SMS message sent to you. To register, enter the username and password that are indicated in the same message. After registration, you will be able to easily view the MMS message on your personal page of the MMS portal.

If you are a subscriber of the Beeline operator, then register your phone number on the company’s website and then enter the code from the picture. Next, you will receive a message from the operator, which contains a password to log into your personal account on the site. In the “Login” column, enter your phone number. In this personal account you can read MMS messages sent to you.

Pay attention to a few details. On the website of the MegaFon operator, viewing MMS messages is possible only for 3 days after sending. Due to the fact that the operator's network is heavily overloaded, the SMS message with the password may be slightly delayed. So if you are expecting some important message, then read it quickly, contact MegaFon support service in order to receive a password and a link to the page with the MMS message. But the operator Tele2 warns subscribers that on the website they can only read MMS messages in the form of images. And one more thing, even if you received an MMS message from a completely different telecom operator, you can still read it on the websites of your operators.

Many phones and all smartphones are equipped with the ability to receive MMS. MMS allows you to transfer images, videos, music content and texts to other subscribers. But there are people who have the simplest phones at their disposal, which do not support receiving/sending multimedia messages. Despite this, they can familiarize themselves with the messages received. You can view the received MMS on Tele2 - for this, the operator has a special web portal at its disposal.

Overview of the MMS Gallery portal

As we already said, A special portal will help you watch MMS on Tele2, created specifically for those who do not have a telephone with MMS support. Multimedia messages are delivered to such subscribers via the Internet, and an SMS notification with a secret PIN code is sent to the phone itself.

Let's see how to watch MMS on Tele2 via a computer and what we need for this. First, we need a computer with Internet access - it will help us view the contents of the received multimedia message. We also need the phone itself to which the notification was received.

Next, go to the “MMS Gallery” portal from Tele2, located at http://t2mms.tele2.ru. Here we will see a simple data entry form. In order to view the contents of the MMS, indicate the following data in the form:

• Your mobile phone number (not the sender) - it is indicated in full international format, but without the “+” symbol;
• PIN code of 6 characters - it is contained in the text of the received SMS notification.

After that, click on the “Receive MMS” button and wait for the download.

When using this method, you must follow two safety rules. The first rule is do not open links that lead not to the Tele2 portal, but to some other resources. This is the only way to ensure the safety of the data you store. The second rule is do not open MMS received from unfamiliar numbers.

Now you know how to view MMS on Tele2 - its contents will be displayed on your computer screen. You can also send a reply message using the operator’s website, and even from your number. To do this, go to the main Tele2 website, select the “Services – SMS and MMS” item, select the “Send MMS” service. We go through the authorization procedure, indicate the topic, enter the recipient’s number, enter the text content, select an image.

The disadvantage of this method is that it does not allow for the selection of an arbitrary picture - you can only send what is presented in the Tele2 catalog. The maximum number of messages per day is only 5 pieces.

How to activate the MMS service on Tele2

In order to watch MMS on Tele2 using your phone, you do not need to connect any additional services - you just need to set up your handset. The initial settings should come automatically as soon as you install the SIM card. Accept them, agree with the installation, reboot your phone and try sending an MMS to someone (or even to yourself - it will be easier to look at it and make sure that everything is working as it should).

If for some reason the automatic settings from Tele2 have not arrived, order them manually. To do this, you need to call service number 679. After a few seconds or minutes, automatic settings will be sent to your handset - now you can view MMS directly on the phone screen (except for previously received messages).

Please note that as soon as you send at least one MMS, the Tele2 network will understand that your phone supports multimedia messages and will send them directly, and not as an SMS with a PIN code.

Setting up MMS on Android may be required in two cases. The first of them is buying a new smartphone. The second is to reset existing settings to factory settings. In any case, you need to change the configuration so that this service works. This can be done in four ways:

• Automatically.
• With the help of a service center operator.
• By manually entering the required values.
• Using the operator's regional website.

It is all these methods that will be discussed in detail within the framework of this material.

Automatic setup

Automatic setup of MMS on Android occurs with minimal human intervention - this is its main advantage. But the disadvantage is that it can only be done once - during the initial registration of the device in the mobile operator’s network. After this, everything is considered to be set up and there is no need to resend this data. Its order is as follows:

• We install the SIM card into the corresponding slot of the smartphone and assemble it.
• Turn on the device and, if necessary, enter the PIN code.
• As soon as registration is completed, the search for the required values ​​in the operator’s database begins. After they are found, this information is sent to the gadget.
• Next, the subscriber must accept the configuration profile and save it.

This completes the automatic configuration process. But the process of receiving and sending messages itself may be blocked. The activation procedure will be described further in the text.

Operator assistance

Unlike automatic, setting up MMS on Android with the help of a service center operator or by manual entry can be done many times - this is their plus. But on the other hand, in the process of their implementation you need to perform certain manipulations, which slightly complicates the configuration process. Each operator has a toll-free consultation number. For Beeline it is 0611, for MTS - 0890, for Megafon - 0550. Next, following the instructions from the autoinformer, you need to establish a connection with the operator and order the necessary settings, which will then be sent to your smartphone. Then they need to be accepted and saved. After this operation, it is recommended to completely reboot the device, that is, turn it off and on. In some cases, you may need to activate the service. To do this, when calling the operator, please enable this service for this number. This completes the setup of MMS on Android with the help of a service center operator.

Manual input

It is not always possible to reach the service center, but you need to receive an MMS urgently. In this case, the necessary settings can be set manually. To do this, go to the following address: "Applications"\"Settings"\"Networks"\"More"\"Mobile networks"\"APN". Then you need to enter the operator parameters - this is the actual manual setup of MMS on Android. Beeline, for example, requires the following parameters:

• The profile name should be Beeline MMS.
• The home page in this case is http://mms/.
• Data transmission channel - GPRS.
• Access point - mms.beeline.ru.
• IP address - 192.168.094.023.
• and the password are the same - beeline.

The remaining values ​​remain unchanged. For MTS you need to enter the following data:

• Profile name - MTS MMS center.
• APN should be mms.mts.ru.
• The login and password in this case are identical - mts.
• Home page - http://mmsc.
• IP address - 192.168.192.192.
• Port - 8080 (some models may use 9201).

As in the previous case, we leave all other values ​​unchanged. Setting up MMS Megafon on Android requires the following values:

• Profile name - megafon.
• APN depends on the tariff plan. Here you need to look at the documentation that came with the starter package.
• The login and password in this case are identical - gdata.
• Home page - http://mmsc:8002.
• IP address - 10.10.10.10.
• Port - 8080 (some models may use 9201).

We don’t touch everything else and leave it as is.

Another way...

Another way to obtain settings is to order them on the operator’s regional website. To do this, on a computer connected to the Internet, use a search engine to find the page we need. Then select the smartphone model and enter the captcha and mobile number. Then click “Submit”. Within 5 minutes the necessary information will be received. We save and install the necessary profiles. If the requested information has not been received within 5 minutes, it is better to repeat the order on the same regional website of the mobile operator. It is also recommended to completely reboot the phone. After that, we send and receive MMS. There shouldn't be any problems. If something doesn't work, we look for the error. As practice shows, somewhere they did something wrong. You can delete the old profile and do everything again.

This article described step by step what is on Android for various operators. As can be seen from everything previously said, there is nothing complicated about this. The lucky owner of a new smartphone can handle this task without any problems. Just follow all the directions and you shouldn't have any problems with this procedure.
