Solved CANADA: settings for a fully functional UT device
-
This topic is meant to support people trying to set up APN settings on UT devices in Canada. It mirrors the one set up for the USA (https://forums.ubports.com/topic/8338/updated-usa-t-mobile-and-mvno-settings-for-a-fully-functional-ut-device?lang=en-US). After discussion with the folks responsible for that topic it was decided Canada needed a separate page since it appears our 3G and 2G shutdowns have much different timelines.
Here are the APN settings that allow data and MMS on Public Mobile:
Public Mobile Used For: Internet + MMS Name: Internet/MMS 2 APN: sp.mb.com MMSC: http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mb/mmsc Proxy: 74.49.0.18 Proxy Port: 80 <User Name, Password ALL BLANK>
NOTE: Cellular connection type works ONLY on the 2G/3G setting. Unlike in the USA it also appears that MMS can be sent and received with WIFI on as well.
NOTE 2: Device these settings were tested on:
- Pixel 3a running Focal

To further aid those trying to get a setup working, for me on a Oneplus 5 (and later Oneplus 5T), a slightly different set of settings were what wound up working. I couldn't get functional MMS messaging until I made separate APN settings for MMS and for Internet, using different APN addresses.
My settings for MMS alone are the same as above in rdl85's message, except Used For of course. For my Internet APN, after much searching I found "isp.mb.com", and that was what allowed me to have both functional MMS and Internet.
Public Mobile
Used for: Internet
Name: Internet
APN: isp.mb.com
<User Name, Password ALL BLANK>Group texts don't work right for me, but I think that's more of a global issue. Though if they're working for you rdl85, I wanna hear about it. Broadcast messages work fine, but group messages wind up with missed messages both ways.

Hi Rdl85,
Just wondering if you got a message from Public Mobile instructing that you needed to update your APN settings. If so, have you had any luck with the new settings? (Proxy: mmscproxy.mobility.ca, Proxy Port: 8799). I had MMS working just fine with the old settings, but I cannot get it to work at all with the new settings. They say the old ones, what you'd posted above, will stop working as of Feb 14.
