    Any US users on Mint Mobile with MMS working? Can you share APN settings or any other tricks?

        I have a OnePlus N10 Nord 5G running 24.04. It's working pretty well, but I can't seem to get MMS working. I can't send pictures to my son (gotta share the home made sourdough bread pictures and photos of birds at the feeder!).

        This is what Mint Mobile site says to use:
        APN Settings

        Name – Mint
APN – Wholesale
Proxy – (leave blank)
Port – (leave blank)
Username – (leave blank) 
Password – (leave blank)
Server – (leave blank)
MMSC – http://wholesale.mmsmvno.com/mms/wapenc
Multimedia Message Proxy – (leave blank)
Multimedia Message Port – 8080
MCC – (do not change default values)
MNC – (do not change default values)
Authentication Type – (leave blank)
APN Type – default,supl,mms,ia
APN Protocol – IPv4/IPv6
APN Roaming Protocol – IPv4/IPv6
MVNO type: GID
MVNO value: 756D

        I don't see an option in the GUI for a lot of these settings, but I did set Name to Mint, APN to Wholesale, MMSC to http://wholesale.mmsmvno.com/mms/wapenc. I left proxy and proxy port blank.

        When I do this, my phone takes forever to start up and I have to force a boot (hitting sound up/sound down/power at the same time and holding for 10 to 20 seconds).

        Anyway, sending pictures is not working, and a simple boot fails.

          @bgriffis In addition to here, you should ask this in our NA Issues Telegram group. MMS and RCS have been an issue for a while now. Are you on Telegram? I can add you to the group if you are (your handle @bgriffis does not show up).

            I'm not on Telegram, but probably should be. Thanks for the head's up.

            So, I thought and thought and thought. And decided I am missing something extremely obvious. I have two Mint numbers for me - one for my Android phone, one for Ubuntu Touch. And I have a 3rd for my son's iPhone. And a fourth for my wife's iPhone. They are all on Mint. MMS works on all of them except my UT phone. Maybe I ought to just look at the APN settings on one of the working phones and compare it to mine.

            So, here is what worked for me:
            Name: ultra (all lower case)
            APN: wholesale (all lower case)
            MMSC: http://wholesale.mmsmvno.com/mms/wapenc
            Proxy: leave blank
            Proxy port: leave blank
            User name: leave blank
            Password: leave blank

            On my tests, the picture did not go through the first time, it failed. I hit the red failed icon to try again - and it worked on the second try. Not sure why. But I'll take it.

              I forgot to add that wifi is enabled and my phone goes between L and 5g depending on where I am in the house. But I did not turn wifi off.
