Re: Data and MMS on Consumer Cellular not working

I just switched to CC yesterday. popped two new SIMS in my Moto X's. Ported numbers over online. Within about 30-45 minutes, porting complete and phones work just fine with LTE data, mms and voice

Re: Data and MMS on Consumer Cellular not working

alot of people seem to have the APN ccdata working. From the responses here it appears that that requires a setup at tech support to get that configuration working. Mine is working and here are the settings:

Name: Consumer Cellular
APN: att.mvno
Proxy :<Not set>
Port: <Not set>
Username: <Not set>
Password: <Not set>
Server: Not set
MMSC:<Not set>
MMS proxy: <Not set>
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: None
APN type: default,mms,supl,hipri
APN protocol: IPv4
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
Bearer: Unspecified
MVNO type: None

And this works with or without WiFi turned on.

Just a hunch, but I think the less settings you make, the more the carrier can default for you. Of all the configs I have seen, I think this is the one least likely to require manual updates.

I didn't have to do any changes, just popped new SIM in and everything works just fine.

Re: Data and MMS on Consumer Cellular not working

I just finished three sessions with Cingular support to get my Android 4.2.2 phone to connect to the internet.
Comparing your previous settings to those I finally used to connect, I find the following differences:
Name: CCI
APN Type default.mms.supl.wap
MMS Proxy: proxy.mnvo.ccmobileweb.com
Authetication Type: not set

No guarantees but I can now connect

Re: Data and MMS on Consumer Cellular not working

Whoo-Hoo! I'm now on Consumer Cellular and love it! At first when I had no signal I tried several APN settings and finally tapped on Restore Default from the menu. Rebooted and I was in business. Four bars at home as opposed to three bars with T-Mobile. If the most important things in Real Estate are location, location, location then to me the most important things in cell phone providers is coverage, coverage, coverage. Oh, and the price is right too.

Re: Data and MMS on Consumer Cellular not working

I'm paying $80 for two lines on CC (1200 minutes, 2.5B data). Half of what I was paying Verizon

Solution found!
So I've been going up and down this post looking for answer for my friend's phone.
We needed her phone to do multimedia msg and group chat and she only had 4g enabled.
Unfortunately, those weren't same settings.
I combined the settings to get it working. (February 26, 2015)

APN: att.muvo


This is an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 phone with Consumer Cellular.
Hopefully this will work with you guys!

After many frustrating experiments/failures, I found these setting working great on Consumer Cellular network with my Moto X 1st (2013):

Name - Consumer Cellular [you can name anything you like, really)
APN - ccdata [I personally find "att.mvno" just does not work at all]
Proxy - Not set
Port - Not set
Username - not set
Password - not set
Server - Not Set
MMSC - [Look at the attached pic]
MMS proxy - [Look at the attached pic]
MMS port - 80
MCC - 310
MNC - 410
Authentication type - None
APN type - default,mms,supl,fota,hipri,agps
APN protocol - IPv4
APN roaming protocol - IPv4
APN enable/disable - APN enabled [on my phone, this option is greyed out]
Bearer - unspecified
MVNO type - GID [on my phone, this option is greyed out]
MVNO value - 2ac9 [on my phone, this option is greyed out]


*How to proceed:
1. Power off and then power on your phone, a fresh start.
2. Make sure "cellular data" is switched on, "Restrict background data" is off, Wifi is off [Wifi can be switched on after you confirm that the settings work]
3. Go to APNs section and create a new set of APN settings as above, then save it. You should notice the signal strength icon changing after saving.
4. Waiting 15 seconds then begin the first test: sending a MMS picture message to yourself, namely send to your own number. For the second test, go to your email app and send another picture to yourself (make sure the pic is less than 1MB in size, the smaller the faster). Since CC network is AT&T network, the email format is yourcellphonenumber[at]mms.att.net [for example:1234567890[at]mms.att.net . Third test, reply to your lastest message, namely your own email, with a MMS picture message. They all should go through. Keep the picture size down and allow 60 seconds for each test.

*In my experience, powering your phone off (then on again) can cause MMS problems again. I have not figured out the reason. So if all the tests go through successfully, DON'T POWER your phone OFF.
If you have to do so, you will have to go back to your APNs screen and modify the above settings a little. For me, I removed "hipri" from APN type, then performed the three tests. They were all successful, of course. Then I went back to my APN setting and added "hipri" back. And then I performed the three tests again. The point is I revive my APN setting by changing it a little because after changing something is reset.

Extra information for tinkers who want to troubleshoot further:
Phone model: AT&T Branded Moto X (XT1058); SIM and Bootloader Locked; Android 5.1
My location: San Francisco Bay Area, California (Will this settings work in another geographical area? I don't know. You tell me
