I've had the same physical sim card since 2021. Previously I had a Google Pixel 4a device and all text services worked perfectly.
A few weeks ago I purchased an international version of the Nothing Phone 2a and put in my sim card. Generally everything seems good, but I cannot make the MMS service function.
The RCS chat service works, but is not a viable alternative as not all of my contacts can receive or send them.
If I search in Settings I get a result that says MMS is turned off, and when I click it Settings takes me to the Messages app advanced settings page. However, on that page the MMS option is hidden and not actionable. I think this means the network is not offering MMS support to the device
Looking around online I see that Telus made some changes around MMS this year. Trying to adapt their recommended APN settings doesn't seem to help.
Question 1: Does anyone know more about what they changed, or how it might effect me?
I also found this thread on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/NothingTech/comments/1egukms/nothing_phone_2a_canada_mms_issues/
It gives me some hope, but the stated solutions do not seem to help in my case. Also, the solution seems very suspect to me, but they do report success.
Question 2: Does anyone know how to make my MMS service function?
Thanks.
