Internet and MMS settings

To send multimedia messages, or to access the internet when there is no available

Wi-Fi [udoc_no_trans_wifi_wlan_plain] network, you must have a working mobile data connection

with the correct internet and MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) settings. Here are

some tips:

•

For most mobile 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 these settings via Wi-Fi [udoc_no_trans_wifi_wlan_plain] .

•

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 mobile 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, mobile data, and MMS issues.

•

If the Battery time preferred setting of STAMINA mode is activated to save power, all

mobile 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.

•

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.
