Cannot receive MMS

[chenhogi]

I've recently noticed that whilst I am able to send MMS, I cannot receive them. Checked with my service provider and according to them, everything appears to be in order with my line.
Can this be related to the 8.1 update?

A friend of mine lost all SMS capabilities on her Lumia 1020 running 8.1 so I recommended the "access point" app which sorted all her issues. Maybe it will help you out as well.

access point | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)

I have a 1020-- I don't have the 8.1 update yet, I hope it doesn't get to be an issue.

I'm on at&t with a Lumia 1020 & I had to add back in my apn settings for MMS under Settings > Cellular + Sim > Sim > edit MMS APN. After I did that my mms's have been working ever since. This is what I used (only included fields which need text typed into them):
APN: pta
WAP gateway (URL): proxy.mobile.att.net
WAP gateway port: 80
MMSC (URL) http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMSC port: 80

Note this is after I upgraded to 8.1.

It seems to be a bit of a hit and miss... I upgraded my 1020,1520 and 520 without any issues at all. My friend's 1020 was hard reset right after the upgrade (something I did not do to any of my phones) and yet she got the MMS issue. Go figure :s

Good info. Being access point a Nokia app, this should be helpful to Samsung and HTC users our there afflicted with the same issue.

Tried everything, in the end my service provider replaced my sim card, and that did the trick.

Totally worked thanks for the suggestion,I had assumed that those fields were filled the whole time
