The MMS function allows phone owners to exchange vivid pictures and photos, in addition, it is possible to send videos and melodies. But there are some restrictions that are imposed on sending MMS. They are contained in the size of the files. For older devices, this is certainly a problem, but newer gadgets automatically compress files to the required size.
To use mms messages, you need to set the parameters, which can be either manual or automatic. Without setting it will not be possible to send and receive mms. In addition, the mobile phone to which such a message will be sent must support such a connection. If such a connection is not supported, then the subscriber will receive only a link to mms, as well as an access code. You can open the message by going to the gallery from a PC.
Today, almost all telephones receive and send mms messages. But sometimes automatic tuning does not help, which means that you need to carry out manual adjustments. If manual configuration seems difficult, then you can use the help of specialists in tele2 communication salons. But using a connection using a similar method, it will cost some money.
In addition, there is a method to get the settings by calling tele2 operators, who will provide all the necessary information on the configuration. This method is bad because it can take quite a long time to wait for the answer from the tele2 operator. It is better to use the automatic settings, which you can get yourself.
Of course, any tele2 subscriber wants the phone to do the necessary autotuning when activating a SIM card. As a rule, such a procedure takes place, you just need to insert a SIM card and after a couple of minutes a message will be sent to the device with automatic settings. But it happens that messages of this nature do not come, then you need to order them. There are a couple of possible ways to do this:
- Dial 679 short number and place an order;
- Using the tele2 website and personal account, make an order of the necessary parameters.
It is worth noting that sometimes you need to restart the phone for the settings to take effect.
Setting up MMS messages on the Android platform, as well as on the iPhone
Almost all Android smartphones set the necessary parameters themselves, otherwise you should configure sending and receiving mms manually. To do this, you need to go to the phone menu and find the tab with access points, where you can create a new one using certain properties.
When the settings are registered, you should check the receipt and sending of mms. If nothing happens anyway, you need to restart the gadget.
Along with other Russian operators, Tele2 is included in the list of the main representatives of the cellular communications industry. It offers its subscribers roughly similar services, which means that the questions that the corporation's clients have are practically the same.
And today we will talk about the "painful", about the incorrect operation of the services of sending messages (text and multimedia), and we will figure out how to set up SMS and MMS messages on Tele2.

Automatic configuration of MMS parameters from the Tele2 mobile operator
In order to receive all the settings from a mobile operator, you need to send a free message from your phone to the short number 679.

After the settings are received and saved, you need to restart the phone. This means that you need to turn off the phone and then turn it on.
Then you should make sure that all the settings are in place. We check and immediately try to send the first MMS message. For the first sending, it is preferable to choose a subscriber whose phone can be immediately checked for the presence of MMS.
Sometimes the easiest way is to send a test multimedia message to yourself. So, you can immediately make sure that everything is configured correctly and how it works.
Manual setting of MMS
To independently configure the service on your phone, you need to go to the MMS settings and manually register all the data.
In the line "Home page or MMS server" we write "mmsc.tele2.ru". Next, turn on the "Proxy Server". In the line IP address, enter "193.12.40.65".
For WAP 1 - 9201, for WAP 2 - 8080.

We do not specify anything in the last paragraph "Username and password". This line should be left blank.
After manual configuration, it is imperative to send a trial MMS. This is necessary to register the user number as a user of the MMS service. Otherwise, all multimedia messages that will come to your phone will not be displayed. Their viewing will be available in the MMS-gallery on the official website
MMS for many mobile users is an important component of comfortable communication and work. You can send photos, videos and audio files with multimedia messages. However, in order to use this function, the settings must be made correctly. So how to enable and configure MMS on iPhone? We will talk about this further.

If there is none even after the next reboot, then you will need to re-enter all the settings from the beginning. The phone will automatically detect the type of message being sent. And if there is no photo in it, then it will be sent as a standard SMS message, and if a file is added, then it will be designated as multimedia.
Sending MMS
To add, for example, a photo to a message, the subscriber must click on the camera icon. When sending a file, the subscriber is offered "Select available" or the second option - "Take a new picture".
