MMS & Data Internet Settings
How do I set up MMS and Data for Internet on my mobile?
Most devices will work straight out of the box however if you’re unable to access the internet or send picture messages (MMS) then see the settings below.
Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) is a standard way to send messages that include multimedia content to and from a mobile phone to a cellular network. MMS messages are delivered in a different way from an SMS and these messages are then forwarded to Skinny's MMS store and forward server, known as the MMSC (Multimedia Messaging Service Centre).
Below are steps on how to make sure that your device is MMS enabled -

Do you have Mobile Data activated your handset?

Does your handset have the right APN (Access Point Names) settings?
In some scenarios, your handset may not have the right APN (Access Point Names) settings which is vital as it sets up a connection to the gateway between Skinny’s cellular network and the public Internet.
Skinny does all the heavy lifting on our side but you’ll need to make sure the right settings are in place to get on the network you need.
