What are you trying to send? Generally, MMS gateways can't handle (thus don't allow) any attachment larger than 99kbs -- but, your carrier can also make that requirement even smaller ... also, if it's a format your phone cannot recongize generally, it probably won't work....

1st thing to check is that you have the MMS Access Point settings from your operator. For that, start here: http://www.nokia.com/nokia/0,,32863,00.html

Verify also with your operator that they don't require MMS to be enabled manually by their customer service department (i.e., they might have MMS software on their network that cannot provision a user automatically, or they have disabled that for some strange reason or another).

Once you have those cleared, send a very simple (maybe text only) MMS to verify that it works.

Some operators already support, e.g., as large as 500KB MMS messages (not all phones can receive them, though, nor if roaming with a different operators, the roaming operator might not deliver that large messages).
