When I got my new phone, a HTC P4350, I quickly managed to make and receive phone calls and text messages. I even connected straight to the Internet over WiFi and (slowly) over GPRS. It never occured to me that sending a MMS, a picture message, would be so complicated.

With a “Pow!” and a “Zap!” I asked their technical support people and got the answer. It works in two parts, firstly the GPRS side, which you can find in the Connections tab of the Settings screen:

(In case you can’t read them, the important settings are “goto.virginmobile.uk”, “user” (no password) and 193.30.166.3.)

Once you can make a connection to Virgin you can configure the MMS side of things, which you can find in the “Options” menu of the Messaging application:

(Again, important settings are: 193.30.166.1, “http://mms.virginmobile.co.uk:8002” and “WAP 1.2”.)

And that should do the trick. Happy Multimedia Messaging!
