Internet and MMS Settings
To send multimedia messages, or to access the internet when there is no available Wi-Fi
network, you must have a working cellular data connection with the correct internet and
MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) settings. Here are some tips:
•
For most cellphone networks and service providers, internet and MMS settings come
pre-installed on your device. You can then start using the internet and send multimedia
messages right away.
•
It is possible to download these settings via Wi-Fi.
•
You can manually add, change, or delete internet and MMS settings on your device at
any time. If you change or delete an internet or MMS setting by mistake, download the
internet and MMS settings again.
•
If you cannot access the internet over a cellphone network or if multimedia messaging is
not working, even though the internet and MMS settings are downloaded successfully to
your device, refer to the troubleshooting tips for your device at
www.sonymobile.com/
support/
for network coverage, cellular data, and MMS issues.
•
If Battery saver mode is activated to save power, all mobile data traffic gets paused when
the screen is off. If this causes connection problems, try excluding some applications and
services from being paused, or deactivate Battery saver mode temporarily.
•
If you are using a device with multiple users, only the owner (that is, the primary user) can
download internet and messaging settings from the Settings menu, but the downloaded
settings are applicable to all users.
