Fix for being unable to send MMS on Orange

[Maggs69]

Hi
I have had problems sending MMS messages and have finally found a work around/solution.

The problem seems to be with the APN settings, even though Orange support have verified that the setting are correct they still dont allow MMS to be sent.

The solution seems to be to delete everything and start again so..............

So you need to delete the APN settings first by going to
Settings/Wireless and Network/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names and then selecting your current APN setting. Once you are on the screen with all the settings, press Menu and select "Delete APN"

You should now have no APN's

Now you need to create 2 (two) new ones, one for Internet and one for MMS (these are copied from the orange support site.
