Windows Phone 8 APN

finnconor — Wed, 26 Jun 2013 16:36:15 GMT

I am just trying to set up the APN on a Windows Phone 8 device. I assumed it would be similar to the set up on a Windows Phone 7 device. The Internet APN set up is identical, however the MMS APN set-up does not work in the same way. The Windows Phone 7 MMS APN set-up I attempted to follow was:

1) Type ##634# on your keypad

2) This opens the MFG password prompt. Enter 277634#*#.

3) Select 7, Engineering Menu

4) Select 6, Other Setting followed by Set Network Profiles . .....(please wait a few seconds...reading data) will show on the screen..Then it will display the list of all possible carriers for your handset.

5) Select the 'network' you require. This will be _PROV_TSC_IE_272_11_ENG.xml

6) Click back button once

7) Select Set ADC

😎 Ensure its set to enable

9) Shut down the device. Remove the battery and SIM card, replace just the battery and then restart without the SIM inserted.

10) Once the device is on, shut down, replace the SIM, and start as normal

However, the section in red at set 2 fails to open the correct menu, rather it opens a different menu altogether that may be specific to my phone, which is a Samsung Ativ S. Ho do I set up an MMS APN on this device?

Any chance this guide would work if you substitute the 48 settings for the giffgaff settings listed?

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I am using lumia 820, I met the same problem on my phone, but what I did is scrolled down to the bottom of menu and add new net work. then I can send messages and go internet. but I also face another problem, I have to enter pin everytime I restart the phone.

In order for the mms set to work on the latest versions of windows 8, both the mmsc address and mmsc port number must be put in the mmsc address field since the mmsc port field is no longer there.

So now, in the mmsc address field, enter: http://mmc1/servlets/mms:8002
