Firstly, I've not been to MaDaCo for a long time, since I ditched my old WM phone :) a bad mistake I admit.

My contract runs out soon(ish) and I am wondering is the Hero has any issues on the O2 (UK) network. I know there has been issues with Vodaphone.

I'm on o2, but I do have problems sending MMS messages whilst having GPRS always connected.

Anyone else having this issue? I have to disconnect Mobile Internet to be able to send/receive MMS.

I don't use MMS really, but mine isn't working for sending vCards (and presumably not for sending normal MMS either).
I figure if iPhone users can manage without MMS for so long, then so can I! :)

My Settings are:

Internet
Name: O2 MOBILE WEB
APN: mobile.o2.co.uk
Proxy: <Not Set>
Port: <Not Set>
Username: O2web (or bypass if I was full speed no image reduction mobile internet)
Password: Password (this is default, I don't change it)
Server: <Not Set>
MMSC: <Not Set>
MMS proxy: <Not Set>
MMS port: <Not Set>
MMS protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 234
MNC: 10
APN type: default

MMS
Name: O2 MMS Postpay
APN: wap.o2.co.uk
Proxy: <Not Set>
Port: <Not Set>
Username: O2wap
Password: Password (this is default, I don't change it)
Server: <Not Set>
MMSC: http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002
MMS proxy: 193.113.200.195
MMS port: 8080
MMS protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 234
MNC: 10
APN type: mms

My Amended Internet (seems to work to do both)
Name: O2 MOBILE WEB
  APN: wap.o2.co.uk
  Proxy: <Not Set>
  Port: <Not Set>
  Username: O2wap
  Password: Password (this is default, I don't change it)
  Server: <Not Set>
  MMSC: http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002
  MMS proxy: 193.113.200.195
  MMS port: 8080
  MMS protocol: WAP 2.0
  MCC: 234
  MNC: 10
  APN type: default


Daft, but seems to work by amending the selected (one with greed dot) to the above. It disconnects mobile internet, connects and sends message, then connects back to internet. Not a good solution though as I want to use "bypass" as my web username to get best internet capabilities as using these settings, the pictures are really grainy.

thank you every1 for your help. i have finally got the mms to work. however i do have to stop normal data and then download mms and the re activate the data. got a widget set-up on home page to do this. same for when sending. need o2 to sort out the 2kb receiving now

and also anyway we can send larger pics. currently hero re sizes/compresses to around 25k. we have up to 300k to send. seems just unfair

paul any way of addressing these issue in next rom updates?
