O2 MMS on the blink?

Is anyone currently able to send or receive MMS on O2? It used to work for
me but hasn't done for days now, although GPRS WAP and mobile web still
work. O2 customer services (for what it's worth) insist everything should
be working fine.

very strange, I just got another replacement nokia 6233, and am sending it
back today because I am unable to send mms, I have received them though, and
I am able to send text mms, but the phone wont let me insert a picture. I'm
in the Southport area, with O2

In my case, if someone sends me an MMS I just get a regular text message
telling me to go to O2's website to view it. If I try to send one, it seems
to start sending (I get the GPRS and spinning paperclip icons and any nearby
speakers buzz like mad) but then reports "Multimedia message sending
failed". It's as if media messaging isn't activated on my account, but O2
insist it is and have even tried deactivating and reactivating it to no
avail.

This is using my Nokia 6230i, but I also tried my sim in a 7250i and get the
same problem. O2 have sent me a new sim and continually re-sent the
settings to my phone, but it still doesn't work. I'm convinced the problem
is at their end.

I've only just renewed my contract and changed to a different tarrif. I
wonder if something got messed up? I have both GPRS for media messaging and
GPRS mobile web set up on my account and it all worked fine until recently -
WAP and mobile web still does.

I think if that was me, I would nip into the nearest O2 shop, and get them
to try to send a message, and see how they get on!

Bad form to reply to my own post, I know, but... oh dear. I called them
again yesterday and discovered that they had deactivated MMS on my account
but not reactivated it again! They've now done so and it's working fine
again this morning.

Glad to hear that, I'm just waiting for my 3rd replacement 6233, and if this
one goes faulty, when its returned, I am going to choose a sony ericcson
K800i, my daughter has one and she loves it.
