What are Lebara 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 Lebara, 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.

The MMSC entry only works with http://, not https:// — a common typo that stops MMS 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 (Lebara)
Go to Settings → Connections → Mobile Networks → Access Point Names. Tap your existing Lebara APN or create a new one. Fill in the MMSC field, the MMS Proxy field, and the MMS Port field with the Lebara values. Make sure the APN Type field includes mms (for example: default,supl,mms). Save and restart.

How to configure MMS settings on iPhone (Lebara)
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 Lebara 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 Lebara.

Use http:// for the MMSC — the secure prefix breaks Lebara picture messaging
Troubleshooting Lebara MMS problems
Not sending MMS? Check mobile data is switched on, the MMSC and proxy values are accurate, and the APN type lists mms.
If picture messages stay stuck, tap to download manually, check mobile data, and enable Auto-retrieve MMS in the messaging app if available.
Poor MMS quality is usually down to compression by the sender's phone. WhatsApp or iMessage tend to send clearer images.

MMS on Lebara vs iMessage/WhatsApp
Standard MMS file sizes are limited (roughly 300KB-1MB), with heavy compression. iMessage, WhatsApp and RCS-enabled Google Messages avoid this by sending over internet data.
