If the OP has a phone that is not supported by pm for data...there is no possibility of using MMS with that model of phone? Correct?
You'd probably have to go back a good 15 to 20 years to find a cell phone that isn't data-capable. Most of those wouldn't have been compatible with Public Mobile's network for anything anyway.
If the APN settings can be set correctly, MMS should work. As for data use, the main thing about phones the age of a INQ Chat 3g or Nokia N95 (was popular around 2007/2008) would be how the browser capabilities weren't very good or the cpu procesors in them were not fast enough to keeep up with desktop websites (even when the data connection was relatively good).

Call and SMS work on both phones, I just cannot figure out MMS.
@Montrealpost You need access to data to send andcrecieve MMS. You don't need a data plan just access which your phone does not support on pm. You would only be able to send them on wifi....if you can configure your DATA/APN settings. Sorry but phones/hardware not my strong suit for any models of phone. If no one else offers possible solutions google the models to get their specs.
MMS doesn't get sent over Wi-Fi. If the APN settings are not correcly set for MMS, those will not be able to be sent or received, regardless of any Wi-Fi connection.

I'm not even sure that the Nokia 6650 is compatible with Public Mobile. The search that did says that would need a Nokia 6651 for UMTS Band.2.

Agreed. What plan are you on? You probably only need the $15 w/the $5/500 min add on for back up. I do subscribe to the smart brain stupid phone club.
