Need help setting up APN

[Yosief]

Hi guys,

Just bought a Android phone and I guess I need to set up APN so that to receive picture message. Could someone guide me please? 

Thanks.

Be sure you have cellular data turned on.

Here are MMS settings from @s2scotty

If you have multiple APNs listed, ONLY one, the PM one, should have the APN type "default".

Including "mms", as in, "default,mms" makes it clear TO THE PHONE to route MMS via this APN/carrier.  IT APPEARS CRITICAL THAT there are NO SPACES between the words and the commas (e.g. "default,<space>mms" = wrong and "default,mms" = correct). A trailing space proved an issue on a phone (e.g. "default, mms<space>" = wrong and "default,mms" = correct). Like "default", only the correct and active APN should include the "mms" tag.

@Yosief, here is a great site that has the APN settings.  You will just put in your Make of phone, Model and then the network you are on and it will come up with the settings you need.

@Yosief  Since you're new just wanted to give you the heads up that often times a search through the forums will often provide hte answer you are looking for.

Granted the community is here to help if you need it, but if you're ever in a hurry it can be quicker to search.
