Utility Warehouse MMS Settings UK 2026 MMS

Utility Warehouse MMS Settings UK 2026 MMS guide thumbnail

Utility Warehouse MMS settings control how your phone sends and receives picture messages. The MMSC address is http://mms.um.data.uwclub.net:10021/mmsc and MMS Proxy is mms.data.uwclub.net on port 8799. Most Android devices need these entered manually. iPhones receive them automatically via the carrier bundle.

As an MVNO on Vodafone's network, Utility Warehouse uses the same MMSC and proxy as Vodafone and its other MVNOs like VOXI and Talkmobile — only the APN name differs.

Troubleshooting Utility Warehouse MMS

  1. Check that mobile data is actively connected — MMS can't send or receive over Wi-Fi alone.
  2. Verify the MMSC address: it must be exactly http://mms.um.data.uwclub.net:10021/mmsc.
  3. Verify the MMS Proxy and Port read mms.data.uwclub.net and 8799 — this is where most MMS faults come from.
  4. The APN Type needs mms as well as default and supl.
  5. Android needs the radio button tapped to activate the APN, not just saved.
  6. Verify MMS is switched on within the messaging app.
  7. A restart follows any changes made.
  8. Last resort: reset network settings, then re-enter everything from the table.
  9. Contact Utility Warehouse on 0333 777 0333 or live chat via My UW app if that still doesn't resolve it.
