MMS not working with Data off and WiFi on for Samsung Galaxy S20+ (NEW)
So I purchased a new phone and switched from Verizon. Only 2 days later, I noticed that I can't send a regular basic picture text or Image (MMS) to anyone or receive them while on my Work WiFi and my Data turned off. I can't even text in a group text that consist of 6 to 7 people?
I have always owned Samsung and my previous Galaxy S9+ for 3 years, I have always turned my data off and turn my wifi on and everything ran Smooth. I am needing some help or clarification on whether if this is a T-Mobile thing compared to what Verizon was working for me?
No 1 at the store seems to be of any help or understanding unless they use Samsung. They would just say, they're an Iphone user and so forth.
I have NEVER had to turn my data on just to send a Picture text or receive and text in group chat (MMS) I have always turned my WiFi on and data off for years and it worked fine until I switched to T-mobile. Ayuda.

Hey Jeff, where do you add port 80? I have a new S20+ and it's driving me CRAZY that I can't send MMS
go to settings then connections then mobile networks then access point names then click the apn you created

I had this problem, then found a solution on reddit.
the APN type needs to include internet+MMS.
if you cannot edit your current APN, add one and make all settings identical.
in the APN type field, if it has internet, simply add +MMS. if not, add internet+MMS.
should look something like this:
default,xcap,internet+MMS,supl
No guarantee but I removed and added this several times on my Moto G7 to prove it.
nah..i can snag numerous same scenario threads from the Verizon site as well lol. ...and Sprint..the main thing i have came across with this has usually been all Samsung devices (not sure if they went a tad bit to aggressive with its authentication process or what exactly)...with a decently small amount of scattered other devices..a small enough amount that i cant remember which devices they were lol.
Gracias por los comentarios. I don't have much knowledge of using a phone much and don't know if it was an update out of the box, brand new? or when I took it to the T-Mobile store 2 days later from fresh out of the box, they updated at the store.
I just never had any issues up until switching from Verizon to T-Mobile a few days ago.
My Samsung galaxy S9+ was updated and ran fine and everything worked. I just don't understand how a Brand new phone can't send MMS on Wifi with no Data on. Must be a T-Mobile thing or my phone is defective?
if memory serves it came in a few updates back..basically the phone must authenticate via mobile data prior to it sending via wifi… was never an issue before however now you see quite a few devices out there running into this now right after an update..cant remember if it came in with a OS update or a security patch..
keep in mind..my memory isnt the greatest at times..but i DO remember this not being an issue until a update pushed through from the OEM and then complaints started rolling in..but same scenario..no to barely a mobile data signal and you run into this..
