Vincent,
Thank you for this article. I have been unable to send or receive MMS messages since I switched to Optimum mobile a year ago. Today they refused to provide the APN info that I thought might be the problem. I have a Galaxy S10e. I was able to enter the first 3 APNs from your article but not the one for tethering. I think it didn’t like the ‘APN type: dun’ setting. After adding those three and restarting my phone, I can successfully send and receive photos.
You are my hero of the day!
Thank you! I am glad this worked for you.
I will look more into the tethering option.
I forgot to add that I also could not get on the Optimum mobile data network. I could only get on the internet while connected to WiFi. You probably knew this already😉 Everything works now.
