I originally tried to type in MMS after hipri, without luck and then typed MMS between the 2 and it worked!

@CarolynBijou  Can you add mms to the APN Type field. So it looks like this:

default,mms,hipri

@CarolynBijou  Make sure MMSC: http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mb/mmsc and all other settings are in lowercase. Also make sure that MMS is enabled within your text app.

Edit: APN type: default,mms,agps,supl,fota,hipri (if possible)

Ok good. We're half way there.

Can you review some of the APN settings earlier in the thread. Specifically the APN Type. Maybe adding ,mms to what you have would get mms going. Be aware that there would be no spaces in that line.

Yes,  can browse the internet with wifi turned off

@CarolynBijou  From what you describe you should be able to send/receive MMS texts. What happens when you turn WiFi off can you still access the internet on your phone?

When you say "all" you mean the list that you provided above? I'd be tempted to try that Telus 3G. Curious though that the phone specs seem to suggest different bands for 4G (ie. LTE) that this place uses yet the phone "sees" a Public Mobile 4G.

My understanding is that this phone supports 4G. @CarolynBijou  what plan are you on?

If you can find a setting for 3G or UMTS then you might get somewhere. It doesn't look like that phone will do LTE (4G) here.

That aliasredirect line...try without the /mb.
