I have an unlocked iPhone 5 bought from Apple and have a value data plan, everything works with the correct APN profile installed but can't get MMS working. I read that Rogers iPhones work with data and MMS out-of-the-box without any profiles being installed.

It seems like I'm pooched if I can't add the mms settings. I used a cut down regular SIM card, maybe if I purchase a micro SIM it will have all the info on the chip?

Thanks.

MMS historically, was never supported by Speakout. Not sure if that has changed recently.

I would suggest that the cut down SIM card has no bearing on this. The SIM is the means to connect but not to or for specific programs.

Ok, thanks. I would guess the APN settings are programmed into the phone.

According to Speakout, MMS is now available, but at $0.50 per message.

Are you able to at least receive MMS? Get someone else to send you an SMS with a picture attachment.

For the iphone, is your Settings -> Messages -> MMS Messaging turned on?

Can't even receive MMS messages, now I noticed that iMessage and Facetime won't activate.

How is everyone else doing with the data add-on with their iPhone?

I can't get MMS to work on my Nexus 4 phone. I have the new data plan activated and working.

I added the suggested changes of:

c) Your MMS settings may be incorrect. They should be as follows:
APN: rogers-core-appl1.apn
MMSC: http://mms.gprs.rogers.com
MMS Proxy: mmsproxy.rogers.com
MMS Port: 80
APN Type: Default
APN Protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN Roaming Protocol: IPV4/IPv6

No go …. I just see 'sending' and the message never gets sent.

I tried deleting and re-adding the APN. Still no luck with MMS. My current APN is:

Name Untitled (default)
APN: rogers-core-appl1.apn
Proxy not set (default)
Port not set (default)
Username not set (default)
Password not set (default)
Server not set (default)
MMSC: http://mms.gprs.rogers.com
MMS Proxy: mmsproxy.rogers.com
MMS Port: 80
MCC 302 (default)
MNC 720 (default)
Authentication Type not set (default)
APN Type: Default
APN Protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN Roaming Protocol: IPV4/IPv6
APN enable/disable X (default - and greyed out)
Bearer not specified (default)
MVNO type (default)
MVNO value not set (default - and greyed out)
