MMS delivery times

[Guest jontelfer]

I've got a Vario III with T-mobile and I'm finding it takes ages to download MMS pictures. For example this morning I got the message to say that I'd got an MMS and it was going to begin download. All goes quiet until 2.5hours later when the notification+message finally arrives. Have I missed a setting somewhere? This is from my wife's basic nokia so we're not talking multi-megapixel images.

Anyone else get this?

Hello

seems you download the mms via GSM and not GPRS/3G connection. you should check with your operator the GPRS/3G settings, or the network is veryyy bad...

I received an MMS in about 2 seconds earlier today, and thats on the default settings on my Vario III.

Is this the SMS service optoin in the Connections tab of settings?

By default it was on GSM - does this setting also cover MMS do you think? I've set it to GPRS preferred now (from options of GPRS, GSM, GPRS preferred and GSM Preferred) so we'll see.

Thanks,

Hmm, further rummaging in the messaging app -> MMS Options gives a servers tab. I have only one entry here as T-Mobile Picture Message - which has settings of:

Gateway 149.254.201.135

Port 8080

Server address http://mmsc.t-mobile.co.uk:8002/

Connect via Tmobile Internet

Send limit 300k

WAP version 2

Which looks to make sense to me.

No, the SMS one applies to just sending proper SMS messages, not sure if T-Mobile even accepts SMS over GPRS. What I do know is I've changed nothing and its quick, so not sure what you can do :)
