- Verify the MMSC address is exactly http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002, with no extra spaces.
- Verify MMS Proxy and Port: 82.132.254.1 / 8080 — an incorrect value here is a very common cause of stuck messages.
- Verify mms is part of the APN Type, alongside default and supl.
- Confirm the APN profile is actually active on Android — the radio button needs filling, not just saving.
- Both Google Messages and Samsung Messages have their own MMS toggle — check it's on.
