So I just realized yesterday that my phone (L520 WP8) can't send or receive MMS without turning Data Connection on. I don't have any mobile data plan so when I turned it on, my phone randomly accessed the internet and I had to pay much for it. But I found (okay maybe many of you already know this, or thought about this) a way to allow only MMS to work without the fear to paying for unwanted mobile data traffic.
So here's how to allow only MMS:
1. Go into Settings -> Access Point
2. Create new
3. Name it something (for example "Only MMS")
4. Then in the "internet APN" section, you need to use random fake things. For example:
6. Save it and select it to make it "active".
7. Go into Settings -> Cellular
8. Enable "Data connection"
From now MMS will be received but you won't have to pay for random mobile data traffic.
If MMS still not working:
9. Go into Settings -> Cellular -> add mms apn
10. Fill it with correct MMS APN settings by your carrier.
(Note: I do not take responsibility if you still need to pay for something, I tested this method on my own phone - Nokia Lumia 520 T-Mobile(Telekom) Hungary - and it worked nicely.)

- username: aaa
- password: bbb
- proxy address: 127.0.0.1
- proxy port: 8888
- (leave the rest default)
