Corrections for Virgin – Internet & MMS
- Double '&' in title, should read "Virgin – Internet & MMS"
- MCC needs to be set, should be 505
- MNC needs to be set, should 02
- APN type needs to be set, should be 'default,supl'
Thanks mate, updated
[...] a look at Whirlpool for some Australian centric android & Nexus discussion. And at Android Austrlalia for the correct APN setup for the 3 network. How to do it has all been well documented over there [...]
Still not working with Optus mms. Can anyone help me please.
Has anyone got HTC Desire (or any Android phone) to work on Virgin Mobile ?
The available Virgin APNs don't work? Try the Optus ones?
I got everything working on my Magic. It was painful. Can't recall exactly how I did it, but.... got a feeling that I needed to have my phone simultaneously connected to the internet by wireless.
yeah, virgininternet is one word btw, no space.
I can not for for the life of me get the virgin settings to work on my htc desire i have tried optus settings virgin settings everything i can get 3g internet with virgin settings but now mms and gsm internet with optus settings but no mmsn can anyone help virgin have useless tech support
Seems like there are a few people that can't get Optus related telco MMS going. Strange. I am of no help as I am with Exetel, so I have never had to deal with Optus/Virgin APNs.
If you do get it working, let me know and I can update the site accordingly
yeh man it works (htc desire with virgin), virgininternet is one word as i just told that other dude.
[...] And if you are still worried about the European version on the Australian 3 network – I have had no problems on both the 3 network or roaming outside of the 3 network. When roaming I could still read email, surf the internet, and make calls. I was also able to easily connect to Planet 3 using 3’s APN settings. [...]

Hi Guys, I had heaps of trouble trying to get mms working on TPG (who say just to use the Optus settings from the Optus website) on my Motorola Milestone. I have just purchased a HTC Desire, inserted the same sim I had in my Milestone, and it automatically set up the APN's for me? Anyway, here they are;
Internet
Name: Optus Internet
APN: internet
MMS protocol: WAP 2.0 (this setting only seems to appear on Android 2.1?)
APN type: default
MMS
Name: Optus MMS
APN: mms
MMSC: http://mmsc.optus.com.au:8002/
MMS Proxy: 61.88.190.10
MMS port: 8070
MMS protocol: WAP 2.0 (this setting only seems to appear on Android 2.1?)
APN type: mms
Hope this helps others get their APN's sorted!
These settings seem to work for Optus Mobile users also. Sweet, I shall add them now!
It's still not work with my HTC desire, i can not get mms from optus anyway thank you for your help.
Thanks Greg
When I add in those APN settings the HTC Desire says the MCC must be 3 digits and the MNC must be 2 or 3 digits, it will not let you put nothing...
This is the worst thing about TPG, they just don't care for their clients, when it doesn't work they just send you back to manufacturer and wash their hands of you
i just got a htc magic and im with tpg. those things arent working at all and it says unable to connect due to incorrect apn setting even though i put exactly what was said here for the optus internet thingy ... D:
i need help please...!
it's alright, i got it all fixed. there was a problem with my plan and internet through my sim was not activated...
i probably should have called tpg first ey
How come I followed Greg's instruction, It show 'G' symbol instead of 'H' symbol? How to make it using HSPA?
That depends on coverage really.
If you know you can get 'H' where you are:
Dial: *#*#4636#*#*
Select: "WCDMA Only"
and see if it goes to 'H'

i cant get htc legend to work on tpg. i tried the settings mentioned and mobile internet and mms dont work. i can only use internet when i am connecting it to wi-fi.
does anyone else have the same problem? many people have posted that they have the htc desire and magic, but do these settings still work for htc legend?
Hi guys, you seem to be quite cluey. I heard a rumour that if you have Desire HTC Telstra branded and you are using, say, Vodafone — the 3G will not work outside major cities, unless you "root" the phone and reset it to 8181 (instead of 8183 it is now). I don't really care that much about the Telstra apps (which I would still like to get rid off), but the 3G out of cities — that's just not cool, what if I'm following google maps somewhere?
Just tried the MMS APN edit with Vodafone, seems to work! Thank you!
That would mean the phone was triband (850MHz/900MHz/2100MHz) which I don't believe it is. So changing it to 8181 won't do much.
Glad the APN worked
Hi, I am going crazy. I have an i-mate jazzjam with Crazy Johns that I have been using to receive copies of my emails for about 2.5 years and it has stopped working. I may have accidentally changed a setting but for the life of my I can't get it to connect to the internet. I have tried all the settings shown above but with no luck. Have rang CJ's 3 times with no joy. By the way, what are MCC and MNC. Thanks for any help.

Hey guys, nearly pulling my hair out with my HTC Desire on the Telstra network. I added the APNS as above and I connect to the internet fine however, I'm unable to send mms msgs! The error I keep receiving is:
"Unable to send message. Retrying. Generic network failure."
Can anyone help?
Thanks
I just updated the Telstra APNs. Try those
APN Type for Optus Internet APN has to be 'Internet', because when I left it as default it set it to 'Internet + MMS' which caused my MMS not to work because it was trying to use the same APN as the Internet.
just got off the phone with optus for their internet and mms settings for the samsung galaxy s

hey people,
i still cant get my mms working on my milestone on Optus.
Help please
Have you tried the APN in the comment above you?
If not, call Optus. They sell the Milestone so they have to make it work.
Yes i have tried all the ones listed above, i rang optus and they told me to try something else and still does not work. I will call there technical help line when i get time. Any other ideas though? One of the above APN's did give me the GREEN dot next to 'optus mms'
thanks for the settings for TPG internet. My desire connects as expected with the settings.

check this website if mms is still not working
@Aiden
I just rang Optus technical support and they got my Milestone working over the phone in about 15 minutes. Ring 1300 307 937 and tell them you have outright purchased a Milestone and need help to set it up. I had to remind the tech that they actually sell the phone, as it is very new to Optus.
They will even send you a pdf with data for every setting on the phone.
ps
I think they may have made a few setting changes at their end, so the only way to be sure is to ring.
Setup for Optus, a little different to the ones above. This is for the Milestone but should be same for all.

Setting up a Galaxy S on Vodafone I found these setting worked:
Name: VodaAU
APN: live.vodafone.com
Proxy: 010.202.002.060
Port: 8080
Username: blank
Password: blank
Server: blank
MMSC: http://pxt.vodafone.net.au/pxtsend
MMS Proxy: 010.202.002.060
Port: 8080
MCC: 505
MNC: 03
Authentication type: Not set
APN Type: internet + mms
I had trouble following the instructions published on this site and applying them to my Galaxy S, since (a) I wasn't sure how to enter multiple IP addresses for the proxy (looking at it now on my PC where the line doesn't wrap I'm guessing you just separate them with a space), and (b) my phone wouldn't allow me to leave the APN type blank. Guessing that the setting labelled Vodafone - internet should be internet, and the settings labelled Vodafone MMS should be MMS was... wrong. And (c) I had to reboot my phone once I'd applied the settings.
thanks bro, you're a lifesaver. I had all the settings right, just didn't reboot my phone.
Optus with HTC Desire bought from the UK
Just to confirm, I flashed a ROM today and it had no APN settings, this is what I used to get both internet and mms functioning.

Hi
How do you select "Default" for the APN Type. My Galaxy S only has radio buttons to pick from (no default) and you can't actually type anything in.
Thanks

I have an HTC Wildfire and I have added all the APN details for TPG.
But i still cant get MMS :S internet and everything works fine except for MMS.
Any1 can help??
I can't see three APNs for Optus (I see two) but it says to use all three. What am I missing?
woops, just enter the two and see how you go

Can someone explain why I need these settings at all? I have a stock Telstra Desire, works just fine of course. Now if I were to put an Optus SIM in the phone I would assume it will work just fine, picking up the Optus settings from the SIM, the network or somewhere. [or am i wrong about this and I have to do some manual entry?] So if I go and root my phone and the Telstra settings get lost why won't they just come back when I connect to the network or reinsert my SIM?
When you Root + ROM, you will more than likely lose your APN settings which is why you then have to re enter the ones above.
I have more of a fundamental question... What actually are APNs? And why do you need an 'Internet' and 'MMS' APN? Or do you only need one or the other depending on your mobile plan/contract/number? I just don't get it.
APNs allow you to connect to the internet/data via your carrier.
There are usually 2: Internet & MMS as they both use data/internet.
Without them you won't be able to access the internet/data to browse the web or send MMS messages.
Thanks, I might not have been clear, I know I need them but I don't understand why they don't get set from the SIM or somewhere apart from the ROM. Because at the moment I have Telstra APN settings in my phone. I am pretty sure the phone will just work if I change my SIM to an Optus or Three SIM card. I assume it won't use my existing Telstra APN settings so they must be updated from somewhere or am I wrong and if I change my carrier I have to manually enter the new APN's
John
P.S.
And why do we need them?
Thankyou.
Hi all, I'm a tpg user and the son isn't "Internet" it's "yesinternet". Hope this helps
Son = APN..... Damn auto correct on the iphone
hi, i have the new samsung wave and i do not know how to do any of this!! is there anyone that could help me please!! i would like to know how to set my mms and my virgin internet and also the WAP........if you know how to do this please let me know.....thanks xx
Hey Guys,
I got a Galaxy S from Optus using it on Three(VHA)
And I had to use the setting above plus:
MCC: 505
MNC: 06
Authentication type: PAP
Hope I helped someone out there.
Hi,
i have my galaxy s from optus as well and i tried the setting above as well but not working. do i have to do the setting for both internet and mms?
Cheers
Using the single APN (live.vodafone.com) for Vodafone doesn't work for me when attempting to download .apk files (no idea whether it works for others).. I've had to make live.vodafone.com MMS only, and add the old vfinternet.au one (internet only) to enable downloads..
Just an FYI in case this is the case for anyone else..
Well I too am having hell with Optus and their MMS settings.
Tried everything you guys have listed and no joy.
It keeps saying "Generic Network Failure" - not so bad that one of the WAP fixes works, but simply means I can't receive MMS from anybody either.
Anyone had some joy with their Optus settings?
Ring 1300 307 937 and tell them your woes, you may need Optus to alter your account at their end.
The virgin settings work with my Nexus One, but the one issue I had was I could not access secure web sites (internet banking, virginmobile account etc) on 3G. With wifi on it was fine, so it's not a browser issue. The browser would just display a blank screen. I removed the "proxy" and "port" numbers and left them blank and now I can access the secure (https) sites. Question is: do I need proxy and port numbers set? Is my data less secure/safe without those numbers set? Thanks
I don't believe your data is any less secure if you don't enter the proxy and port details
I have an HTC Wildfire and the APN for TPG doesn't work for MMS.
under MCC and MNC, you can not leave it blank.
Im not sure if this is the same for other android users.
Anytips on how to fix this mms issue?
These settings worked for me on my HTC Desire on Three but they don't work after I updated to 2.2 (FroYo)...
