• How to set up MMS on a megaphone?

    If the MMS megaphone settings are entered incorrectly on the phone, the subscriber will not only not be able to send multimedia messages, but will also not be able to receive them.

    Instead, a link will simply be sent to the phone, by clicking on which a person can view the files sent to him. But you still won't be able to save the MMS message on the phone.

    So how to set up MMS on Megafon, what options are provided for this? Is it possible to use such messages on old phones and how to set up such gadgets?

    General information about the service

    What is MMS? These are the same SMS messages, but in addition to them, you can send a picture, sound file, gif-animation and even video. Anyone can subscribe to the service.

    The main requirement is that the phone must support such a function.

    In principle, any gadget released after 2004 has it (and you can clarify the information in the official instructions for the device).

    One has only to take into account that Megafon has restrictions on the size limit of such messages of 300 kilobytes. If the limit is exceeded, the MMS message will not be sent.

    Data is sent via the Internet, but traffic is not taken into account.


    How to set up MMS?

    Setting up MMS on Megafon involves entering data about the server (its IP address or APN access point), as well as an access login / password. This is the address of the gateway through which the message itself is transmitted in encrypted form.

    On modern phones with SIM cards issued after 2011, all these settings are activated automatically (and all the necessary data is on the SIM).

    For example, this feature works by default on all Android and iOS phones. In other cases (for example, when using Java or s40 phones), you will have to manually configure MMS on Megaphone yourself.


    What options exist?

    You can set up MMS Megafon on your phone in the following ways:

    • With the help of an automatic push message, and after receiving it, you only need to save it and activate the created profile;
    • Manually, by entering the necessary parameters yourself;
    • Using a computer (on the Megafon website you can find MMS settings for a specific gadget with detailed instructions).

    The easiest option is to get the Internet settings automatically via a push message. How much does the service cost? It is provided absolutely free of charge to all Megafon subscribers.

    By the way, the Internet can be configured in the same way.

    You can order MMS settings on Megafon in two ways:

    • With a USSD request *5049# ;
    • By sending an SMS message with a number 3 to a short service number 5049 .

    In response, auto-tuning will come in the form of a push message. After opening it, the phone will immediately offer to save and activate the new settings profile (this can be done in the MMS message settings in the corresponding menu item).

    After that, it is also advisable to restart the phone, since on some gadgets new settings are activated only after being turned on again.


    How to set up MMS on Megafon manually?

    If for some reason it is impossible to get automatic MMS settings on Megafon (in some smartphones there is reduced support for PUSH and USSD, which does not allow them to use this service), then you will have to enter all the parameters yourself manually.

    To do this, you need to go to the MMS profile settings (it is advisable to study the instructions for the phone).

    • Home page - mmsc: 0082 ;
    • Access point (APN) - mms;
    • Authorization type (priority) – normal (medium);
    • Username (users) - mms;
    • Password - mms;
    • Proxy address (proxy) - 10.10.10.10 ;
    • port address - 8800 (for older phones - 9201 ).

    It is worth considering that not all items of the above settings may be available in a particular phone. If some are missing, they should be skipped (the device will still work with MMS).


    Also, from a computer, you can see detailed instructions for setting up MMS on Megaphone for a specific device. To do this, go to the Megafon website, enter your personal account (it is called "Megallaboratory" there) and select the "MMS" item in the "Services" tab.

    You can also get here through the item "Self-service". But not every device has detailed instructions.

    In case of any problems, the subscriber can contact the operator at the hotline number 0500 . You can also ask for help directly at the office of the mobile operator - the service is free.

    How much does it cost to send messages?

    Taking into account the fact that the operator has territorial restrictions and regional tariffs, the cost in each case should be specified individually.

    In most cases, the cost is as follows:

    • Receipt - 3 rubles;
    • Sending - from 10 rubles;
    • In the CIS countries - from 15 to 50 rubles.

    A detailed price list is available on the official website and in your personal account.

    In total, setting up MMS for Megafon is quite simple. In most cases, the phone will automatically pick up the settings from the SIM card. Only in 10% of cases they will have to be ordered independently or even entered manually.
