How to receive MMS on a computer without a phone
Every apartment has internet connection. It’s not news that information of various formats can be received and sent without having a mobile device at hand. The popularity of the service for sending multimedia files, including selfies, ensures uninterrupted operation of the network and mobile device, but does not always correspond due to violation of settings or compliance with the device model. In this case, a personal device (PC, laptop, netbook, tablet) will help. You can receive a multimedia message through:
- email address;
- Bluetooth;
- USB cable;
- IR port.
Instructions for receiving MMS:
- Read the SMS indicating the address for viewing the MMS.
- Follow the address link to the site.
- Enter the password code specified in the same SMS.
- If the correct actions are taken, the message will open for viewing and further saving to your hard drive.
- Information is stored by different operators for 2 to 5 days, then deleted so as not to load the server. Instructions about the storage period are sent in the same SMS as the link.
- Do not accept or open links from unknown subscribers. In 50% of cases it is spam or a virus.
When using a Bluetooth module to receive MMS, you must install the PC Suite utility for your phone model. Further actions will be as follows:
- After installing the synchronization application, the PC must be restarted.
- Go to the Start menu, select “Devices and Printers”.
- Open “Connecting new equipment”.
- After the system detects the phone, open it by double-clicking.
- Enter the connection code and password.
- Launch PC Suite and wait for the device to connect.
- Using “File Transfer”, copy the contents to your PC’s hard drive.
Probably, you have often encountered a problem when your phone does not receive MMS messages? This happens, first of all, due to a settings failure. When you either install a SIM card on a new phone for the first time, or simply rearrange it, the settings that are responsible for receiving and sending MMS messages are not saved. When the SIM card is reinstalled, after a short period of time you receive a notification that the settings have been received. The subscriber just needs to confirm their installation. If for some reason such a notification was ignored or you automatically clicked the “Cancel” button, the settings will not be installed. Because of this, you will not be able to send MMS messages. You need to request the settings again.
- Send an SMS message to the free short number 1020 with the text 2;
- Follow the link http://www.mts.com.ua/rus/phonemanuals.php, where you can select your phone model in order to get the correct settings.
After the settings have been received and saved, you can check the functionality of the service. This can be done as follows: send an MMS message to the number 102226. This is an absolutely free service, and if it is successful, you will receive an MMS with a positive response.
But obtaining such settings is not always convenient or possible. And if they are not there, then not only will you not be able to send mms, but it will also not be possible to receive them. What to do in this case, when you urgently need to view an MMS message, but your phone does not accept it? The mobile operator MTS foresaw all emergency situations and made it possible to view MMS not only through the phone, but also using a computer.
How to read mms via computer?
As we have already said, if your phone does not have special settings, you simply will not be able to read an MMS message. You will receive an SMS message indicating that an mms has been received on your phone. There will also be information that you will be able to view this message on the website within three days. The text of the message contains the email address and a special code that you will need later.
So, as soon as you receive a notification, you can immediately see on your computer what they sent you. With the “My MMS” service from the mobile operator MTS, this has become quick and easy. To do this, you need to follow the link provided in the SMS message or log in through your Personal Account. Next you will see two fields, the filling of which is mandatory. The first is your phone number, and the second is the code that you received earlier in an SMS message. After entering the data correctly and clicking the “Next” button, you will automatically go to the “My MMS” option interface, where you can see the data that the sender sent you.
It is worth knowing that by viewing MMS messages via a computer through the mobile operator MTS, you automatically agree to the processing and collection of your personal data by third parties. This data may be used for marketing and research purposes.
If the MMS message sent to you has not been viewed within three days, then it will be automatically deleted.
MMS should have lost its former popularity. But this did not happen for various reasons: firstly, not all people have access to the Internet, and secondly, sending MMS messages is much faster than in some messenger.
Advantages of MMS
MMS on Android
With the Android operating system, in most cases they support data transfer using MMS. You just need to configure it. You can change configurations on Android using automatic configuration, you can immediately contact your mobile operator, configure it manually, or order settings on the operator’s website.
Automatic MMS setup
This method is very convenient because the technology will do everything itself instead of the user. The likelihood of making a mistake or damaging your mobile device is close to zero. The only negative: you can use the automatic configuration only once (when registering for the first time in the mobile operator’s network). How to set up MMS automatically:
- Install a SIM card.
- Launch your mobile device and enter your PIN if prompted.
- Receive settings in the form of SMS messages from your mobile operator.
- Run the configuration and wait for the installation to complete.
- You can now read sent messages.
Asking an operator for help
Unlike the previous method, you can ask the operator for help an unlimited number of times. But here the user will have to strictly follow the instructions in order to achieve a positive result. Each mobile network operator has its own toll-free technical support number. You need to ask to send MMS settings to mobile phone number:
- MTS – 0890;
- Megafon – 0550;
- Motive – 111;
- Beeline - 0611.
After ordering settings, you must accept them, and then reboot the device to start using and sending messages. It happens that the service does not connect the first time and requires additional activation. In this case, you need to call technical support again and ask to enable the service for this cell phone number. After all manipulations, graphic messages will be activated.
Setting up MMS manually
If it is impossible to get through to the operator, and the MMS service is needed any minute, then you will have to install it on your own. Instructions:
The next steps vary by operator. Only some columns are the same for users of Beeline, Megafon, MTS, Tele 2, Motiv. This is the “access point type” - mms and the “MMS port” - 8080 (there is an alternative code 9201 for MTS and Tele 2 subscribers). Example of settings for the mobile operator Beeline.
You can specify any username(use Latin characters). The access point is mms.beeline.ru. The login, or username, will be beeline and the password will match it (also beeline). In the MMSC column you should enter http://mms/. The IP address for this mobile operator is 192.168.094.023.
You only need to enter the specified information and leave the rest of the columns unchanged. Afterwards, you only need to save the entered data and restart your mobile device.
Order settings on the mobile operator website:
- Go to the mobile operator's website.
- Select the model of your cellular device from the list listed and enter your mobile phone number.
- Click "send".
- Over the course of some time, the phone will receive settings that will need to be installed.
- Reboot your device when installation is complete.
If you are unable to achieve success, then the problem is most likely in the user’s actions or in the settings of the phone itself. If you fix the problem It is impossible to do this on your own, you should contact the service center of your mobile operator.
Picture messages open in the same way as text ones. If the sent file is not displayed, you need to look at the settings for receiving and sending MMS messages.
Currently, there is still a scam of people who send fraudulent SMS messages to everyone. Be careful and don't fall for the bait.
You receive an incoming SMS, for example, from the numbers +7923хххххххх, +7913хххххххх (or the number is missing) with the text “You have an MMS photo” or “You have received an MMS photo” or similar, and then a link to the application, by clicking on which you can view the mms message sent to the subscriber, As a result of downloading the application, paid SMS numbers are sent and your money is debited.
Therefore, carefully look at which number you received the SMS message from. MTS does not send SMS from regular numbers, especially those belonging to Megafon or Beeline.
What does a real MMS arrival message look like?
If MMS is not configured for you, then you should actually receive an SMS message notifying you that the MMS has arrived.
This message looks like this:
Please note the following points.
- Sender - MTS(not a regular mobile number);
- The link leads to the official MTS website - http://legacy. mts.ru(in this case it is important that the end of the address mts.ru, if for example http://mts. vashkabinet.ru, then this is a different ending and the site is not MTS);
- All MMS messages are stored in your personal account on the MMS portal: http://mymms.ru
When you click on the link, you will be asked to enter your login and password for your MTS personal account; if you do not have one, you can get a password by clicking on the “Get password” link and then following the instructions. Login is your mobile phone.
MMS is a system that allows you to transmit multimedia messages. With the development of new technologies, users, along with SMS messages, began to send mms messages in the form of pictures, photographs, music and video files.
If you receive an MMS on your phone, you can open it in several ways:
- via telephone;
- via a personal computer connected to the Internet.

By selecting this item, you can configure the MMS system and subsequently receive and send MMS messages.
If your mobile phone does not support the MMS format, then you will receive a regular SMS with the content of a multimedia message. By clicking on the link provided in the SMS, you can read the MMS via the Internet.

- Connect the phone to the computer using a cable and launch the PC Suite program.
- Once the device is connected, you should copy the contents of the MMC to your computer’s hard drive.
