Troubleshooting and Understanding MMS

[pikurasa]

My APN list on Verizon is almost a dozen entries...switching to vzwapp to see what happens. Anyone doing anything with the MMSC values?

Also, any consensus on what "purple accounts" is good for?

You'll have to use vzwapp for the MMSC as well if you want to get MMS messages.  I think purple accounts are for IRC.

SUCCESS! Set both the APN under Settings->Mobile Networks and in Chatty preferences to vzwapp, an the MMSC to http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms
 and the flood of missed texts, both SMS and MMS came inbound.

I have tried:

Code:

CarrierMMSC=http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms
MMS_APN=vzwapp
CarrierMMSProxy=NULL
DefaultModemNumber=NULL

and with the APN set to `vzwapp` in Gnome Settings.

...but it does not work for me.

I also tried a few other things. For example, https://www.reddit.com/r/ting/comments/u...msung_s10/ suggests `http://vzpix.com/servlets/mms` for MMSC, but that does not seem to work for me either.

I did get a glimmer of hope when someone received my outbound MMS while tinkering with the settings, but unsure what the settings were when they were sent.

That being said, I cannot wait for the "flood of missed texts, both SMS and MMS" to come inbound.

When I run `mmsdtng -d` with the aforementioned configuration (MMSC=vzwapp and either CarrierMMSC=http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms or http://vzpix.com/servlets/mms), the error I get is "Fail to get data (http status = 404)".

Any thoughts on what might be missing?
