I have the forty dollar plan. Data shouldnt be a problem. I did the APN set up and a few things didn't stay on. Will do the process again.

@pmimin2404 Maybe post a screenshot of your apn settings. That might help us determine what the issue might be. 🙂

By the way, my last phone was a Galaxy S3 and if it hadn't fallen off the roof of my car and got run over by a dumptruck, I'd likely still be using it. An oldie (in cellphone terms) but a goodie !

Just  to mention in case the user doesn't now, there are no data overages with Public Mobile. If you have no paid data, no paid data will be used or charged. Therefore, in the case of the $10 plan, you can leave your data on all the time and your MMS will kick in when it needs to.

If you ever decide to get say the $15 plan with 250 mb of data, I'd turn it on and off each time you need it as I've seen lots of people turn data on for MMS and then find a large chuck of their data gone the next day. Not to mention the huge OVERAGE charges other cell providers charge.

@GinYVR @mimmo  thanks didn't realize that

[GinYVR]

@RossN Yes MMS should work for the $10 plan

[RossN]

@mimmo so are you saying you can send and receive mms on the 10 dollar plan?

@pmimin2404 Hi you must have you data on to receive or send mms messages and also be on a plan with data

@RossN you do not need a data Plan for mms just the correct apn settings.

@pmimin2404 Hi you must have you data on to receive or send mms messages and also be on a plan with data

[mimmo]

you probably need to set /reset your apn settings.  also is data turned on?  data needs to be on to receive mms
