My carrier, Telus Canada has updated settings for MMS that include fields that do not appear to be part of Chatty’s settings. The appear to also want settings for MMS port, MCC, MNC and APN type, that is if I assume Android settings should match. The iphone directions helpfully say to upgrade your ios.
Since the upgrade, MMS doesn’t work and I am getting timed out messages. Any ideas?
Chances are those don’t need to be specifically entered in the L5; they’re likely default values anyway, and I suspect the L5 defaults them as well. Doesn’t hurt to fill out the available fields in the settings and ignore the missing fields, just to see if it works.
Some of the fields OP mentions may not be listed there. Not sure if they can be added, but maybe.
I diged into this and even git cloned the sources of
the mmsd-tng (the next generation) from
git clone Chris Talbot / mmsd-tng · GitLab
My modem says about the IMSI:
AT+CIMI
262075156772756
OK
The config file for the mmsdtg is in ~/.mms/modemmanager/mms but
with broken default values, only the IMSI is the correct one from
my SIM (i.e. from my provider FONIC, an O2 spin off):

Isn’t this something that should be in updates? Would sure save a lot of time and grief for those that just wanted a device that acts like a [smart] phone, or even just a clever phone?
You do realize or are you to young to know that grandparents or ‘old people’ = wiser, experienced, knowledgeable, sage been-there done-that, learned etcetera kind of people?
On a roll today so bear with me please. Just my opinions.
Remember, we ‘old people’ were the ones that helped the Internet to become the Internet and continue to fight Google from turning it into the Local Wide Googlemall and stalker haven.
I was actually making a joke about GNU/GNOME applications, many of which begin with the letter g, implying that maybe it takes “parents” who know something about GNU to understand the L5’s functionality.
My bad.. I am not up on technical-jokes there days, but now that schooled me, I get it. The last tech humorous I remember is “Programmers Peek and Poke” as in Peeking at a address and poking a number in. (Assembly)
