1. Make sure that you are on 3.0 GM
2. Go to Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings
3. When rebooted, check Settings / General / Network / Cellular Data

It should now have an APN of idata.o2.co.uk for each of data, MMS, and Visual Voicemail
4. Send a text message containing the word "MMS" to 1010
5. You will soon receive a picture message from O2 telling you it is all working

Good luck guys!
 
I just saw a lot of people struggling with the old MMS settings, not realising that GM contained a new setup for O2 that contains a brand new APN for iPhones...
 
Doesn't work for me :(

Still shows wap.o2.co.uk for VV, mobile.o2.co.uk for CD and wap.o2.co.uk for MMS.

I still get a reply from o2 saying setting up picture messaging doesn't seem to be working...

I don't understand why this seems to be working for everyone except me?!
 
After you have reset network settings the settings should be:

Cellular data

APN idata.o2.co.uk
Username vertigo
Password password

Visual Voicemail

APN idata.o2.co.uk
Username vertigo
Password password

MMS

APN idata.o2.co.uk
Username vertigo
Password password
MMSC http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002
MMS Proxy 193.113.200.195:8080
MMS Max Message Size 307200

Safari, visual voicemail, everything working using those settings. It must be a difference on the O2 side - mine is a pay monthly contract

i just use, mobile for CD, wap for VV, and wap for mms. then i text mms to 1010 , and now everything is working :)
 
thats strange :( - i wonder if its worth ringing o2 ?

i just dont know how id explain im on os 3.0 lol
 
It is supposed to configure automatically. O2 detects you have 3.0 installed and sends you a test MMS message to which you confirm OK that it shows correctly.
 
Installed 3.0 GM this morning, text MMS to 1010 and it now works perfectly!

Sent and received pictures today, haven't tried audio yet.

Wish there was a way to enable Tethering- those prices are extortionate for the 1 or 2 times when I would actually need it!

Seriously, don't bother - they are completely clueless. The woman I spoke to previously didn't even know what the Apple Developer Programme was.

yeah i called them and they said they had no setting because MMS is available on the iphone, im now not receiving MMS either. Any on PayG got some settings that are working for sending and receiving?


EDIT: JUST RECEIVED AN MMS

thank you

Tethering works ok on mine, when you say you can't enable it, do you mean it's not in the setting screen?
