What are EE MMS settings?
MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) lets you send picture messages, video clips and audio files as text messages. To send and receive MMS on EE, your phone needs the correct MMSC address, MMS proxy and MMS port values configured in the APN settings. Without these, picture messages may fail to send, download or appear as empty boxes.
MMS setup checklist
Keep EE's MMSC value as http://mms/pict with the plain prefix — https:// by mistake stops picture messaging dead
• The MMS Proxy field is an IP address only — no http:// prefix
• APN Type must contain mms (e.g.
default,supl,mms)• On Android, save then select the profile before testing
How to configure MMS settings on Android (EE)
Go to Settings → Connections → Mobile Networks → Access Point Names. Tap your existing EE APN or create a new one. Fill in the MMSC field, the MMS Proxy field, and the MMS Port field with the EE values. Make sure the APN Type field includes mms (for example: default,supl,mms). Save and restart.

How to configure MMS settings on iPhone (EE)
On iPhone, MMS settings are part of the mobile data network settings at Settings → Mobile Data → Mobile Data Network. Scroll down to the MMS section and enter the EE MMSC, MMS Proxy and MMS Max Message Size values. Tap the back arrow to save.
If the MMS section is missing on iPhone, go to Settings → Messages and make sure MMS Messaging is toggled on. If it remains greyed out, your iPhone carrier bundle may need updating — contact EE.

Enter EE's MMSC as http://mms/pict — the secure prefix stops picture messaging
Troubleshooting EE MMS problems
MMS won't send on EE: confirm mobile data is on (it's needed even over Wi-Fi), check the MMSC and MMS proxy fields, and make sure the APN type includes mms.
MMS not downloading on EE: tap the message to force a manual download, confirm mobile data is on, and check whether the messaging app needs Auto-retrieve MMS enabled.
Blurry MMS on EE is usually the sender's phone compressing the image before sending — WhatsApp or iMessage tend to preserve photo quality better.
Troubleshooting checklist
Most of these EE faults clear in the opening two steps
MMS on EE vs iMessage/WhatsApp
EE's standard MMS caps out around 300KB to 1MB and compresses images hard in the process. For high-quality photo and video sharing, use iMessage (iPhone to iPhone), WhatsApp, or Google Messages with RCS enabled. These apps send over internet data and do not use MMS compression.
