Update: We're rolling out a hotfix for MMS today, which should fix several of the major issues reported by you. Thanks for all the help so far! We're still collecting data, so please keep contacting us if you still have issues not fixed or not mentioned in the comments to this post.

With the current update we've published initial MMS support. Unfortunately, MMS is technically a bit of a dinosaur, and several operators have slightly incompatible custom implementations. As a result of this we're expecting issues with many operators outside of Finland -- but still decided to push the current implementation early, and try to fix issues faster than we could on our own with your feedback.

This post contains some notes for technically skilled users with developer mode enabled. We're working on a simple application automating some of those steps, which will be published at a later point to enable less skilled users to help us improving MMS as well.

So, if you have problems with MMS..

Was it possible to send a MMS? Many operators only let you receive MMS once you sent at least one MMS from your phone.
No luck? Check if the MMS settings (Settings->System->Mobile network->MMS access point) are correct for your operator. If they're not correct, please provide the output of the following commands, plus correct settings, if you have them:
- dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.ofono /ril_0 org.ofono.ConnectionManager.GetContexts for the connection settings
- dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.ofono /ril_0 org.ofono.SimManager.GetProperties for details about your network
Still no luck? Try to get debug output while sending or receiving MMS. Before sending/receiving (or retrying to receive), as user nemo, do
- pkill mms-engine
- mms-engine -vkat and send us the output from the terminal, as well as the contents of /tmp/mms

Info collected should be sent to mms-debug@jolla.com. Please note that this address is designed to easily collect debug information for our engineers, and can't be used as MMS support hotline. If you write us, please do a short post here about which provider and which problem you faced as well, to reduce duplicate submissions as much as possible. We'll try to comment here, and most likely only contact you by mail if we need additional debug output.

Swisscom will not even let you send MMS when you use an unknown model of phone (e.g. the Jolla). I had the same with the N900 and fmms back then.

The solution is to call their hotline and kindly convince them that your handset is capable of MMS sending and receiving. They will then enable it for your phone. However, when you place your SIM card in another phone and put it back in the Jolla, you'd have to call the hotline again.

Is it working for Swisscom after calling the hotline or are there some issues?

My operator is saunalahti, but the mms settings defaulted to elisa. Manually changed them to saunalahtis mms settings, and i am now able to send mms. I am not, however, able to receive MMS. I only get an sms from the operator with a link to where i can have a look at the mms. But i guess this is an issue with saunalahti/elisa and not with the jolla...

Update: Users with iPhone4 and 5 I tested with had incorrect settings on their phones. Once these were corrected MMS messages from my Jolla came pouring in on their phones, all fine. When they sent MMS messages back to me they all worked fine too.

So: NO problems to report, please ignore/delete my email!

Possible to send and receive MMS to myself. Not possible to receive or send to other devices on same network.

This is on OneCall / Network Norway in Norway.

Logs sent by email.

I have managed to send and recive MMS to others on OneCall/Network Norway. Using manual configuration derived from their android settings on their web page.

Thanks oyviaase,

it always worked fine for me. Moral of my story: don't trust iPhone users having correct settings (see update above)........

I can recive mms from Telenor Norway, but not from Chess Norway or Netcom Norway. And I can not send mms. This is on Chess Norway

Was able to get receiving MMS to work on NetCom Norway by entering the manual settings here https://netcom.no/kundeservice/telefonoppsett/manuelt-oppsett but can not send.

MMS settings where set on office.vodafone.com, I changed it to live.vodafone.com. Didn't do the trick, all the other settings where fine.

Recieving went well, sending is the issue. I've mailed the output of the terminal.

MMS has been tested and does work both to send and recieve with Fido, (Canada). As a sub-brand, it is assumed that ROGERS (Canada) will also work, providing that the correct settings for ROGERS are set.

Devices used: Jolla, on Fido network <-> Blackberry Z10, on WIND network.

Settings used on Jolla, for Fido network:

Connection name: mms.fido.ca

Access point name: mms.fido.ca

Username: [blank]

Password: [blank]

Proxy address: 205.151.11.13

Proxy port: 80

Hi there,

Can receive, but can't send MMS under O2 CZ (Telefónica Czech Republic).

ERROR: MMSC responded with 226

Settings seems to be OK. Does anyone have the same problem with O2 CZ? Any suggestions or advice? Debuging output sent to Jolla well as setting.

Yes, a lot of people have the same problem with many operators. Known issue and now we have to wait for the next update :)
