Having spent hours reading this forum trying to get MMS working on my HTC Desire on 2degrees, Brendan had the answer which made it all work in this post http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=97&topicid=60136&page_no=42#357984

The problem wasn't the settings, which are correctly given on this forum, it was a hidden APN for Vodafone that didn't show up in the APN settings but did under ApnManager (available free from the market). Deleted the Vodafone apn and hey presto my MMS worked.

My Desire came direct from Hong Kong so not sure if this has anything to do with this issue, but wanted to share my experience in the hope it might help someone else.

Thanks everyone for the great information on here.

Hmm, I thought I had set up my MMS on my HK sourced Desire but I just tried to send one and got a send error.

I know I can received them ok.
Will try APNManager when I get home

Thanks for that - numerous emails and calls with both 2degrees and HTC failed to spot this problem.

I've had the same problem on my HTC Wildfire, shipped to NZ from Hong Kong, and after reading this page fixed it using APN Backup and Restore - for some reason I couldn't get ApnManager on Android Market. I backed up all the apns in case I did something wrong, and there were 28 hidden ones based around Hong Kong. Deleted them all and added the correct ones in manually.

It seems to be working now - a MMS sent to myself will send and receive, but won't always download correctly. A couple of retries sorts it.
