Virgin mobile UK settings for MMS on Pre3

Struggled with getting MMS on my Pre3. Virgin Mobile helpline unhelpful :(

Anyways, by distilling the info from several sites, I sussed it out. Here it is:

  • Open phone app
  • Preferences & Accounts
  • Scroll down to Network
  • Switch Manual Settings on
  • Tap Edit Network Settings
  • Tap MMS APN
  • Set MMS APN to goto.virginmobile.uk
  • Set USERNAME to completely blank
  • Set PASSWORD to completely blank
  • Under MMS PROPERTIES 
    • Set MMSC to http://mms.virginmobile.co.uk:8002
    • Set MMS PROXY to 193.30.166.2:8080
    • Leave MAX SIZE at 300
  • Tap Change Settings
And that should be it!
