Seems to me that some got an email today to update APN settings, others that their phone would no longer work for MMS. The link in the previous post is to a forum topic from August 2023, but seemingly for similar changes back then.
The links provided in the email I got (about needing to change APN settings by Feb 14) provided a link to another PM page about the changes, but it's not rich in technical details. Upon searching ' "mms" changes canada ' I only find PM, Koodo and Telus, nothing from the other networks.
It can at least have the appearance of a conflict of interest when PM is linking to an affiliate who sells phones, and the other Telus networks sell phones outright. If they provided more technical details, it'd help assuage the perception that our phones might be needlessly sunsetted in order to sell us new (or used) phones.
For those of us who'd like to create less waste and keep using older phones, I'd love to know if any other networks support MMS on older phones. I'd hate to switch from PM, and for now my 2017 phone should still work, but if they stop supporting my phone and another network still does, I'd have move to another network.
