What are SMARTY 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 SMARTY, 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
Enter Smarty's MMS fields exactly; the MMSC uses http://, never https://
• 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
Android MMS configuration (Smarty)
Go to Settings → Connections → Mobile Networks → Access Point Names. Tap your existing SMARTY APN or create a new one. Fill in the MMSC field, the MMS Proxy field, and the MMS Port field with the SMARTY values. Make sure the APN Type field includes mms (for example: default,supl,mms). Save and restart.
MMS setup checklist
Type the MMSC carefully — http:// only, since https:// breaks MMS
• 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
iPhone MMS configuration (Smarty)
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 SMARTY 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 SMARTY.
MMS setup checklist
Smarty's MMS fields need copying exactly, with http:// on the MMSC
Troubleshooting SMARTY MMS problems
MMS not sending: mobile data needs to be on even over Wi-Fi, and the MMSC, proxy and APN type (mms) should all be verified.
Stuck downloads: tap to trigger manually, ensure mobile data is on, and check the app's Auto-retrieve MMS setting.
If images come through blurry, it's likely compression from the sender — WhatsApp or iMessage generally send sharper images.

MMS on SMARTY vs iMessage/WhatsApp
MMS typically limits files to 300KB-1MB with significant compression. iMessage, WhatsApp and RCS-enabled Google Messages send via data instead, sidestepping this compression.
