Send MMS using iPhone 4

[Gavran]

I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 7.1.2. Also, I've got an old $25 plan with unlimited picture messaging. Unfortunately I can not send or receive any.

I called PM Support and they told me I need to update my iOS up to version 8. But I can't do it because the latest for iPhone 4 is 7 version.

So, my question is: am I able to send picture messages or not? And, if yes, what settings should I  set up in my phone?

Thanks.

I did use www.unlockit.co.nz service once when I just signed with PM, but couldn't get MMS to work, decided to have another go at it with help of community. I will try again and let you know.

@slayer you need to update the Apn setting by using Safari. See this thread/ solution for details https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Discussions/iphone-4-and-public-mobile/m-p/96552#M269...

I wonder if MMS on iPhone 4 is working now and if it doesn't on my phone what do I need to do to make it work?

@Kilerpl,

To access DATA (internet) and MMS, you have to configure your APN.

Step-by-step APN configuration :

Step 1

Android 

Settings > More / More Networks / Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names > New APN setting (or a plus sign)

Click here for Android APN Screen Shot

Step 2

You will need to input the following information :

Name: Public Mobile
APN: sp.mb.com
Proxy: Leave blank
Port: Leave blank
Username: Leave blank
Password: Leave blank
Server: Leave blank
MMSC: http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mb/mmsc
MMSC proxy: 74.49.0.18
MMS port: 80
MCC: 302
MNC: 220
Authentication type: Leave blank
APN type: default,supl,mms,dun

Step 3

Select Save/Done. Select Public Mobile to connect to the Public Mobile network.

Hi,

What makes you think MMS work only with iOS 8.1 or later? And is this version supported at all by an Iphone 4 (or is it too old)?

Thx!

Even iOS 8 isn't working correctly from what I can tell on my wife's i5S and she is running iOS 8.1.3. Moot point for you as the highest you can go regardless for an i4 is iOS 7 as Apple doesn't support iOS 8 for anything below i4S.


The only workaround I can think for pic text is whatsapp.

Works off of data I know but still works and the app is free.

Cheers
