ive got a 6600 on vodafone uk but mms is giving me trouble, i can send ok but when a friend sends a message from orange the gprs symbol comes up and it starts to receive then just cuts of and i dont get the message and other times it will recieve the message if sent from another friend on vodafone but the gprs stays active until i turn the phone off then as soon as i turn it back on i get the same message again

any ideas ???

Hmmm......

It sounds like the problem I had with my phone. I phoned Vodafone and they changed it for me.

arrrgghhh... took it back to the shop they tested the mms...
vodafone - vodafone - worked
orange - vodafone - fail
O2 - vodafone - fail

so they got a new 6600 and that had exactly the same problems!
tech guys say they are almost 100% sure its a network problem.

is there anyone here with a 6600 on vodafone uk that has it working or is there a network issue??

if anyone has it working can you plz post your settings so i can see if they differ from mine

thx alot

My sister recently aquired a 7250i on Orange and we have successfully swapped MMS (well, the sound clip i sent didn't work on her phone - wrong format, i believe)

She sent me 1 and I replied with success.

My Vodafone UK settings are

(Under Messaging Options)

Access Point - Vodafone MMS
MM Reception - Always On
On rec. msg - Ret. Auto
Allow Anon MSg - Yes
Rec. Ads - Yes
Rec. Report - Yes
Deny Rpt Send - No
Msg Validity - Max time
Img Size - Small
Default spkr - Loudspeaker

My MMS Access Point settings are...

Name - Vodafone MMS
Data Bearer - GPRS
Access Point name - wap.vodafone.co.uk
User Name - wap
Prompt Password - No
Password - **** (not sure if this is required)
Authentication - Normal
Homepage - http://mms.vodafone.co.uk/servlets/mms

All i know is that MMS'ing is intermittent cross network at worst.
Hope this helps.

thx for that Rob.
just stuck those settings in and again i get the same probs voda - voda is fine cross network it seems its not even making it to the phone.
As i say they tried with another phone in the shop and got the same probs so they are 99% sure its voda`s network at fault which so they say is so old.
time to contact voda and see what they come up with

thx again
