Internet and MMS Settings

To send multimedia messages, or to access the Internet when there is no available Wi-Fi

network, you must have a working cellular data connection with the correct Internet and

MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) settings. Here are some tips:

For most cellular networks and operators, Internet and MMS settings come pre-installed

on your device. You can then start using the Internet and send multimedia messages

right away.

It is possible to download Internet and MMS settings later from the Settings menu.

You can manually add, change, or delete Internet and MMS settings on your device at

any time. If you change or delete an Internet or MMS setting by mistake, download the

Internet and MMS settings again.

If you cannot access the Internet over a cellular network or if multimedia messaging is

not working, even though the Internet and MMS settings have been downloaded

successfully to your device, refer to the troubleshooting tips for your device at

www.sonymobile.com/support/

for network coverage, cellular data, and MMS issues.

If STAMINA mode is activated to save power, all cellular data traffic gets paused when the

screen is off. If this causes connection problems, try excluding some applications and services

from being paused, or deactivate STAMINA mode temporarily. For more information, see

Battery and power management

on the 36 page.

If you are sharing a device with multiple users, only the owner, that is, the primary user, can

download Internet and messaging settings from the Settings menu, but the downloaded

settings are applicable to all users.
