No MMS on Vollaphone with Free Mobile ?

stanwood

@applee So I have just tested MMS with WiFi activated and connected on the Vollaphone.

Test 1: Nexus 5 OTA-15 Stable WiFi on, sending a picture to Vollaphone OTA-15 Stable WiFi on. Result: Succeed

Test 2: Vollaphone OTA-15 Stable WiFi on, sending a picture to Nexus 5 OTA-15 Stable WiFi on. Result: Succeed

Used carrier: Salt (Switzerland) with both devices.

So it seems that it's not a general issue with the Vollaphone.

However, I recognize that there are randomly some troubles using SMS and MMS with the Vollaphone (incoming + outgoing). Only workaround in these cases is to delete the message, reboot phone and try again.
The occurrence of errors is close to 10 to 15% failure rate (regardless of WiFi in all likelihood) hard to say exactly...

Hi
Thanks for your contributions !
with my french operator Free mobile :
I confirm that I can't send nor receive MMS to myself or to another person Wifi on
But I can perfectly send and receive MMS to myself or to another person Wifi off

@maagalie Thanks four your input.
Generally Vollaphone is (was?) shipped with OTA-14, which was known to have bugs in the telephony and messaging layers.
Did you update your Vollaphone to OTA-15?

@maagalie
Ok so it's probably an APN issue based on @Emphrath experience with "free mobile".
To narrow it down, have you tried wifi on but not connected to a known SSID (I mean outside your home your wifi is turned on but you are using cellular data) ?

@stanwood

Vollaphone OTA-15 ... I'll wait for further updates !

@applee

It doesn't seem to work even when Wifi ON but not connected to Wifi at home

Emphrath

@maagalie That's really weird. Any other person with a Volla can confirm this ?

@Emphrath Hi, I have just configured my volla - i'm also in france, it's bouygues telecom not Free but it seems i was able to send mms even with the wifi activated

@marco Hi.
You have a Volla and you say you are able to send MMS with Bouygues now ?
Can you confirm it works now with MMS (not SMS ) ? In what channel does it work ?

marco

@domubpkm Yes it works with MMS both sending and receiving. I can access my phone at the moment but i'll post the settings as soon as i can

@domubpkm Yes it works with MMS both sending and receiving. I can access my phone at the moment but i'll post the settings as soon as i can

ok so
name: mms
access point name: mmsbougtel.com
mmsc: http://mms.bouyguestelecom.fr/mms/wapenc
proxy: 62.201.129.226
port 8080
no username or pass

connection type selected is 4G
cell data on

domubpkm

@marco Ok. I always used these parameters and it doesn't work for me on the Volla ONLY. Maybe Bouygues has different SIMS using different protocols, and you have a recent SIM ? What do you read (or you can do a screenshot) on your smartphone when you go on this link http://ipv6test.google.com/ ? For me, i don't have Ipv6. Thanks.

marco

@domubpkm

On test it says:
No problems detected.

You don’t have IPv6, but you shouldn’t have problems on websites that add IPv6 support.

As for the sim yes it is super recent, from february

for the sim yes it is super recent,

Okay. At least that's a start.. Something probably changed. I'll try to find an open store (because Covid) and ask around. Thank you.
