MMS with SYMA as carrier

Hardware Librem 5
1

My carrier is syma; calls, SMS (with Chats) and internet work fine, but I can’t get or send MMS.

Syma advices me to use the settings below, but I’m confused…

syma

My guess is:

  • in Settings/Mobile/Access Point Names: Name: “syma”; APN: “symamobile.com”; Username and Password: both blank;
  • in Chats/Preferences/SMS and MMS Settings: Phone…: my phone number; MMSC: “https://mms.symamobile.com”; APN: “symamobile.com”; Proxy: “10.255.2.141”.

Any idea on what is wrong?

2

The values must be configured in the file ~/.mms/modemmanager/mms.

3

I’m really sorry, but I need a more detailed procedure. I don’t even find the file you’re talking about! :confused:

What does

find ~ -name mms

give?

Hi Germain,

For your original post, your suggestion looks good to me. Just one thing to point out, you do need to manually turn on Mobile Data in Settings/Mobile, it’s not done automatically for to send/retrieve MMS.

One thing that has broken MMS for me in the past was my provider seemed to switch to IP6, which I think is not supported by the software.

You could try running this command to check you get IPv4 configuration?
journalctl -b 0 | grep modem-broadband

(It goes through all the log messages since you booted the phone, and outputs those matching the string “modem-broadband”).

WAIT - I just noticed in your original message you have:

in Chats/Preferences/SMS and MMS Settings … Proxy: “10.255.2.141”

Shouldn’t that be
Proxy: “10.255.2.141:8080”
