    I'm havin problems with mms.

    I've a sony ericsson k800i. I'm on 3pay (pay as u go).

    I cant send or receive mms. I dont send or receive many but i was able 2 send and receive before.

    I've an important mms tryin 2 get through. Its n the inbox but i cant open it. It says somethin about unable 2 download due 2 settings.

    I've checked all my settings over and over, + i think i've everything correct but cant send or receive mms.

    Is there any way i can recify this. I need 2 get this mms n my inbox.
    Thanks

    Call 3 for support??? Dear god no! The required settings are in the settings sticky - if these don't work post any error you get when trying to send.

    this is how the settings should be on a k800i:

    menu->settings->connectivity->data communication->data accounts
    ->new account->ps data (or packet data or gprs)

    name:3 mms
    apn:3ireland.ie
    username:blank
    password:blank

    press save

    press enter (with 3 mms highlighted)
    in authentication, tick only PAP (untick none and chap)

    menu->settings->connectivity->internet settings->internet profiles->new profile

    name:3 mms
    connect using:3 mms
    press save

    highlight 3 mms and press more->settings

    connect using:3 mms
    use proxy:yes
    proxy address: mms.3ireland.ie
    port number: 8799
    username:blank
    password:blank

    press save

    menu->messaging->settings->picture message->mms profile->new profile.
    mms profile name: 3 MMS
    message server:http://mms.um.3ireland.ie:10021/mmsc/
    internet profile: 3 mms

    Is it possible that you're roaming on Vodafone where you are (you'll know if you don't have a 3G signal) and that's the reason? Just a thought...
    I'm not on 3 so I don't know but someone else here might.

    Nope, MMS is available even outside of 3g coverage, do try to call through to 3 customer support, even if they do not solve the problem they will organise a replacement sim for you, this may sort the problem

    Hi, thanks for the replies.
    Thank you very much sam vimes. I've changed my settings to the settings you gave here. My settings were obviously not correct. I got my mms last night. Its a beautiful photo which is very special. Its means a lot to me. Thank you for helping.
