It all started off with a tweet from @marul69:
@thewheat do you have DST mms settings working for Android OS?
and so begun the quest to get MMS settings working on Android. Several months ago I tried configuring it on my sister’s HTC Desire, but unfortunately that fight was lost many a times. But today, triumphantly and after some fussing around I managed to get it working. Finally. Settings are below
b-mobile users refer here but I can’t guarantee that it works as I’m not in Brunei and don’t have a bmobile line to test
Internet APN:
- Name: dst.internet
- APN: dst.internet
- Proxy: <Not set>
- Port: <Not set>
- Username: <Not set>
- Password: <Not set>
- Server: <Not set>
- MMSC: <Not set>
- MMS proxy: <Not set>
- MMS port: <Not set>
- MCC: 528 (for other carriers this should be different. this value was automatically set by the phone)
- MNC: 11 (for other carriers this should be different. this value was automatically set by the phone)
- Authentication Type: <Not set>
- APN Type: default
MMS APN:
- Name: dst.mms
- APN: dst.mms
- Proxy: <Not set>
- Port: <Not set>
- Username: mms
- Password: mms
- Server: <Not set>
- MMSC: http://mms.dst.com.bn/mmsc
- MMS proxy: 10.100.6.101
- MMS port: 3130
- MCC: 528 (for other carriers this should be different. this value was automatically set by the phone)
- MNC: 11 (for other carriers this should be different. this value was automatically set by the phone)
- Authentication Type: <Not set>
- APN Type: mms
If all goes well, the APN screen will be as shown below, with only the dst.internet APN being selectable with the radio button on the right. This signifies that when mobile data is enabled, it will use dst.internet for Internet access. If APN Type of “mms” is not specified, there will be a radio button next to the dst.mms configuration which needs to be selected in order to send and receive MMSs. The problem with that is, the dst.mms does not provide Internet access so you will not be able to access the Internet unless you manually select dst.internet as the APN which is very inconvenient. This led me to find out the importance of the APN Type value that was found after trying some Googling and landing on Ausdroid’s APN page. So thanks to Ausdroid and hopefully this will help all those having trouble with their Android phone and MMS.

I can’t guarantee these values work as I’m not in Brunei, so please test and let me know in the comments.

TQ, really useful : )
This is teh nice. Any chances of doing something about the Bmobile?
I don’t have a b-mobile line to test MMS, although if I get hold of the settings you can be a beta tester =)
Got a beta version for bmobile here. Give it a go and see if it works as I don’t have a b-mobile line to test with =)
hi wheat, I’m having problems sending MMS from my LG optimus to another mobile (supporting mms). I’ve followed your instructions above, even downloaded your app on market and reinstalled the APN settings. No luck still. I’m getting a grey envelope with a red clock on it next to the MMS I composed and tried to send.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.. and I’m glad I found your site, we really do need a Droid how-to site applicable to brunei..
hmmm that is strange as it worked for me on my LG Optimus One P500. Are you using the same model? Sometimes I find that it doesn’t work when WiFi is connected, try toggle WiFi off and Mobile data/3G data on. Can you surf Internet after the APNs are installed?
I cant open the .apk for bmobile.. hehhehe.. do i need to run it in my phone?
Yup, you will need to run it on your phone. It should be compatible with all Android phones, but since I don’t have any b-mobile line I can’t test it out. Do let me know how it goes.
Thank you so much dude.. I have finally able to send and receive mms and also surf the internet at the same time on my htc desire handset.
Cheers~
it works perfectly..good job *two thumbs up*
unsuccessful attempt on my Wildfire. can’t retrieve incoming MMS. any idea how to fix it?
Ensure your 3G is up and working. Also try my DST APN app https://market.android.com/details?id=com.thewheatfield.dst_apn to see if that works
i had no problem setting the mms, except for the dst.internet. it doesnt have default option for the ‘APN type’ It gives 3 options; Internet+MMS, Internet, MMS. Which one do i go for?
yess verry usefull.. thank you! :D
i’ve try it.. but still the mms can not send..
help me..im using samsung galaxy mini gt-s5570
I just tries. Finally it works.
Have just been given HTC Sensation – could not get 3G to work, although worked fine on my iPhone. Took it to DST who said: we are not familiar with HTC so take it to the shops! came home, googled, and fell upon your posting. Big thank you – followed your instructions and I am now connected
it works! really happy. Tq so much!
