Can't receive picture messages (o2)

[richdgrant]

Hi there. Since feb I've had the motorola slvr with o2 pay as you go. However, I have never been able to receive picture messages (or all MMS). Yesterday I got an LG Chocolate and have tried to set it up for o2. I have been able to get the browser to work fine but, as with the SLVR, I still cannot receive picture messages. Here's what happens:

I've been sending MMS' to myself to see if it is working properly, they seem to send ok but when I get notification on my phone that I have a new message, it simply redirects me online and then "Sorry, The requested item could not be loaded! (Status Code: 500)" appears. This is exactly the same message as I got when trying to view them on my old phone too.

The thing I don't understand is that I've been using the same sim card for 2 years now and was able to send and receive picture messages fine with my Sony phone which I had before the slvr.

Here are my settings:

Homepage: http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002
Bearer: GPRS
(GPRS SETTINGS) APN: payandgo.o2.co.uk
username: payandgo
password: Password
(PROXY SETTINGS): On
IP Address: 193.113.200.195
Port: 9201
DNS Settings: #empty#

Any ideas why I'm not able to receive picture messages properly (both on my LG KG800 and Motorola SLVR)?

Thanks.

I cant help much but i suggest you call O2. i would think you are still being charged for the wasted MMS
