When I got my new phone, a HTC P4350, I quickly managed to make and receive phone calls and text messages. I even connected straight to the Internet over WiFi and (slowly) over GPRS. It never occured to me that sending a MMS, a picture message, would be so complicated.
With a “Pow!” and a “Zap!” I asked their technical support people and got the answer. It works in two parts, firstly the GPRS side, which you can find in the Connections tab of the Settings screen:
(In case you can’t read them, the important settings are “goto.virginmobile.uk”, “user” (no password) and 193.30.166.3.)
Once you can make a connection to Virgin you can configure the MMS side of things, which you can find in the “Options” menu of the Messaging application:
(Again, important settings are: 193.30.166.1, “http://mms.virginmobile.co.uk:8002” and “WAP 1.2”.)
And that should do the trick. Happy Multimedia Messaging!

many thanks mate – been trying to sort this for ages !!!!
Thanks a lot. I reckon it was the 100Kb setting that was stopping my MMS uploading or download. it was connecting but wouldn’t get above 0% download. Thanks again.
You just saved my phones life…
I was using filesaveas settings to no joy, found this guide far more helpful. Cheers.
