Yes we understand it's an MMS problem. The issue is your phone not allowing you to add the correct APN settings to get your MMS to work. These Ulefones are known to do this. Not just with Public Mobile but if you google search it lots of people have this issue with these Chinese phones.
You are very generalizing here.
Call me lucky if you must or the exception (as always I think you just don't hear from the many many people who don't have problems, though).
But my Armor 6E runs Android 9 (as the initial version installed at the factory, not as a later upgrade of the model*). I unpacked it, put my PM SIM (active for about 3years at the time of phone change) into SIM slot 1 - and connected to the internet within seconds and no setting changes needed.
* The Armor 6 was originally delivered with Android 8.1, for which the lack of APN edit option is a known problem.

Again we are aware. It's an APN ISSUE due to your phone model.
Next option to try to resolve your issue is a Freedom mobile..OR ROAM mobility sim card.
You said Freedom is not an option for you....so how about trying a ROAM sim card?? Looking quickly on their website its $9.95 to order a sim. Seen one on Amazon for $5.
Or another phone that does not have this APN editting issue

On other link someone posted a solution that worked for them. ( I will list it below)
Do you know anyone that has a Freedom mobile sim card?? If not maybe a mall or store near you? That will allow you to put it in your phone to set the APN settings?
Or buy on online.
Here is the instructions posted on that other thread.
1. Find a SIM that allows for an APN addition (Freedom worked for us; others have mentioned ROAM).
2. For dual SIM phones, insert Freedom SIM into the primary slot and PM SIM in the secondary slot.
3. Go to Network & Internet -> SIM cards -> Select PM SIM for mobile data.
4. Go to Network & Internet -> Mobile network settings -> Access point names -> Add APN
*This option only becomes available while the Freedom/ROAM SIM is in the phone.
5. Add the APN Setting information
APN: sp.mb.com
MMSC: http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mb/mmsc
MMS Proxy: 74.49.0.18
MMS Proxy Post: 80
MMC: 302
MNC: 220
When trying to add an APN by using only the Freedom SIM we ran into problems. When the MNC was updated; the APN, which would save previously, would be lost (not sure why). Once the PM SIM was selected for data, there was no need to update the MNC as both MMC and MNC were already populated with the correct information.
Best of Luck.
Very clear but freedom Sim is not option I am trying harder.

@Jb456 wrote:@dboxtvinfo715 I see you posted screenshot on other thread. I referred you to that thread specifically to the solution for a poster that had same phone as you.
To find access point it should be. Go to Network & Internet -> Mobile network settings -> Access point names
However the reason I showed you the other thread is that with this phone brand many have had issues being able to ADD APN settings for Public Mobile. It offers different solutions to try to resolve the issue.

No one stores APN on the SIM Cards. What happens is the OS pulls the latest APN from the SIM card's carrier's servers. It is out of Public Mobile's scope of service as it is a bug in Android. In fact if you read the Terms of Service, as a customer we are obligated to make use our devices work and PM has a right to cut off service.
adb, this is new area for me.
generally I never connect to computer . will see

As mentioned before for finding the APN tab:
- On the Armor 6E (running Android 9.0): Settings > Network & Internet > Mobile Network > (choose SIM if it's a dual SIM phone) > Advanced > Access Point Names > (sp.mb.com was auto populated for me, just had to choose it)
- running Android 8.1: Settings > Network & Internet > Mobile Network > (choose SIM if it's a dual SIM phone) > Access Point Names > for help on changes to the APN follow @Jb456 's link if needed.
