thank you for the information.
when i do this reset, does ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING get erased, including the apps that came automatically installed with the samsung phone?
or just my pictures, videos, and apps *i* added?

thank you martin about the data question.
As for tethering, when i go into APN TYPE, a window pops up and i have 3 options to check
- Internet + MMS
- Internet
- MMS
I do not see where i can add ,dun.
My phone is Samsung Gallaxy S3.
Playing around with the settings ive found something called TETHERING AND MOBILE HOTSPOT.
When i enter it, there is an opton to TURN ON "Mobile hotspot," which automatically turns off my WiFi.
I am not sure if this is related to fixing the tethering setting.
I have done the other APN setting steps (not the tethering one), my Mobile Data is ON, yet i cant send pictures in text.
P.S. About my Settings, to enter APN, I do not click on something called "Wireless and Networks" on my phone, but "More networks." Maybe this is relvant info.

First, I have done this and followed these instructions:
I am set for the APN, but as far as the Tethering APN, I am not sure where to go on the phone to set that up. (how do i get to these settings).
Second,
When i turn on Mobile Data, and i look at my Data Usage, I see it registering that I have used KBs for FB,Messenger, Viber, and all sorts of other things. This is not MMS, and as i understand, only MMS is free. To make sure with you, do i just ignore what it's saying here about me using KBs for internet (outside of MMS), leave Mobile Data on all day, and never be charged?

sarah,
Since you do not have data in your plan, you can keep it on to ensure that you receive an MMS as soon as it is sent. In light of it being an MMS, there is no charge for the data used in sending or receiving them.
As far as settings are concerned, enter APN in PM's search engine. Look for the post whose subject is APN Settings. In the mobile version of this site, the search engine is identified by the magnifying glass at the top left corner. In the full or computer version, the search engine is the rectangular box at the top of the right portion of the page.
I hope that my response has helped you.
Cheers!

And just to confirm what i think everyone is saying here, i can leave MOBILE DATA ON, all day all night all the time, and never be charged for anything?

hello!
I enable mobile data, but it still doesnt work, so i imagine it has to do with the settings like a poster in this thread suggested.
i am looking to find the settings i need to adjust to make MMS work.
I just now switched to public mobile, from kudoo

Like other have mentioned in order to send MMS also known as PICTURE Messaging you need to enable Data. With PM there are never any Pay Per use or overage charges so go ahead turn it on.
07-02-2015 09:57 AM
yes Data enabled but seeing how this is prepaid and all if you arent paying for data you will have no worries about using it for anything else.
Just if you are wondering!

Hi. Picture txt is part of regular Canada-Wide,MMS to be exact
Also, If your Phone's APN (Access Point Name) settings are NOT set to PM's settings, You can't send MMS txts, so check and see.
