Hello. We discovered today that we can't send photo attachments with our texting. We set up the apn settings with the right parameters, but it still won't work. Our plan allows for picture texting. Help, we have to decide today whether or not the send back the phone.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Well, a generic search for "APN" may end up on this thread anyway..... that, and it still doesn't make your statement about "all Samsung phones" correct. 😁

Pfffft, you STILL need to up your game..... after all, you should know I'm now using a pretty current phone, but the fact remains the S3, which still works on most/all Canadian providers' services, doesn't automatically scoop the APN settings, and I'm not the only one that still has and/or uses that old, or older, of a Samsung model. 😜

Maybe current, or fairly recent Samsung phones do that, but your statement is incorrect, because my S3 didn't set the APN automatically, nor did another semi-recent member's S3..... c'mon dar, you need to up your game here! 😜 🤣

Dont worry almost all Samsung phones* automatically set the appropriate APN once the sim card is inserted.
Edit: almost
*except really old ones like the S3

@Carmelo either or would work for your s10/s7
08-30-2020 07:45 PM
@Carmelo reset your network settings and restart your phone if it doesn't automatically do so. Samsung's will usually fetch the correct APN settings. Enable data and try sending an mms message and surfing the internet. Stay safe.

My wife just got a new Samsung S10. We're trying to activate the sim but when we pressed on the "continue" button, during the sign-up process, the next webpage was indicated as invalid. Can't try again until after waiting 50 minutes ... grrr
Also, would anybody have the apn settings for the Samsung S10?
Thanks!

@Carmelo glad you got it working. Have a great day!
08-24-2020 05:00 PM
@Carmelo looking at your screenshot you posted I can see your missing your APN type. Yours says default when it should list a bunch.
Please edit your APN settings and match everything to the below screenshot.
08-24-2020 04:59 PM
It worked with your parameters!
Thanks!

@Carmelo hi reset your network settings
1. Open Settings>General Management>Reset
2. Tap Reset Network Settings>Tap Reset Settings
If prompted enter your pin, passcode
3. Tap Reset Settings 1 more time to confirm
4. Restart

Data needs to be turned on to send MMS. Is it on?
Can you post a screenshot of the APN settings?
You can try these.
Save and reboot phone.
If they don't work try these.
Let us know!

Hello @Carmelo ,
Do you have your data "Enabled"?
When sending MMS text your data will not get used up from your data plan, but it needs to be enabled to send and receive.
