MMS via Verizon quit working
#1
I've got an PinePhone (Evergreen) running Mobian Bookworm.  I got MMS messaging working in February after installing chatty v0.6.0-1 and it was fine until on or shortly before March 12 2022.  The messages seem to be retrieved and queued in ~/.mms/modemmanager/ but they don't get processed further and make their way into chatty anymore.

I've also got a Ting SIM with service via T-Mobile/Dish and MMS works fine with that.  I've switched SIMS back-and forth several times and the symptoms are persistent - Verizon always fails now and Ting works.

Here is the log for a 2nd attempt at processing a message:

After the "Connection successful!" message there should be some communication happening but instead I seem to get a timeout after one minute.  My MMS config has CarrierMMSC=http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms  and  MMS_APN=vzwinternet.

I've tried a varety of config changes in case this had something to do with DNS, and cleared nftables rules in case the firewall was interfering.  No joy.

Does anyone have a clue what's going on here?  Is there anyone for whom MMS & Verizon is working?

Edit 1: I have done regular dist-upgrades, including a couple days ago, and the symptoms don't seem to change.

It looks like Verizon changed their MMS apn. I don't think it's vzwinternet anymore.

Thanks dude, I can't believe I didn't see that before.  I've spent so many hours on this and it turned out to be something so simple.  It's a bit embarassing, really. Blush

It looks like vzwapp might be working only for MMS while vzwinternet is required for general mobile data.
