Ah-ha, I had this exact problem!! And I solved it like this!!
1. Delete ALL APN's from your device!!
2. Input the APN settings from O2 (Here: http://mobilereviews.o2.co.uk/devices/device.jsp?deviceId=651&tab=8&step=2&settingId=3201 )
3. Press so the green dot is selected (This APN will take care of Internet Access AND MMS, no need for 2)
4. Reboot your device.
5. When your phone starts up again, go to Messaging, Press Menu and go to Settings
6. Scroll down to Custom User Agent
7. Select iPhone (3.0)
(Optional) 8. If you are using Handcent (or another SMS App, you will have to change the User Agent in there to match).
PLEASE NOTE!!
If you are using Handcent, you may not be able to download MMS pictures via Handcent itself. If I receive a MMS I need to go to the Stock Messaging app and download it via that!!
Hope it goes well for you and let me know if it works!

ill stick defrost back on this evening and give the settings a go....i know my backup of apns is correct as ive used them on plenty roms but ASOP ones always buggered up....never knew of the iphone setting tho, i shall be most pleased if this works (using chomp at the moment)

I tried LOADS of APN's (including ones which came with various ROMs) and the one from O2 is the only one I have had to work.

Hi Mate
Instructions seemed to work ok but its a bit of a pain that you need to download the mms manually in the stock app first
not sure why the download button within Handcent doesnt work!
but none the less, thanks for the iphone 3 tip
cheers

What OS-ROM version are you running?
That is, have you flashed to a custom/cooked ROM?
I'm asking because various message-related issues are reported with some roms that are based on Manila 2.5 (beta) or WM6.5.1 (beta). The fix to these problems are sometimes "try this different messaging version" or "disable HTC messaging" or "flash to a less-beta ROM". If so, check the thread where you got the ROM.
But, if you're running the stock ROM that came with your phone...has it been like this since you got it? If not, did you add something or change something before this behavior started?
Never flashed to a cooked ROM
my rom is 1.19.401.0WWE,WM6.5.1, I installed chinese font before it started.but i can reply and revceive the SMS
Have you tried a hard reset? It worked for me on my kaiser when it would not let me send MMS over 300k. If you do a hard reset make sure you back up your phone just in case but do not restore your backup. Reinstall programs 1 at a time and test after every install to see what is screwing you up.
i have tried hard reset, the problem is when i type menu and select sms, there is no TO option, I cannot type everything,annoying.

APN FC Legend based roms?

Anyone ever checked the problem with APN's FC'ing on legend based roms, probably not is what i think.
It's not that hard to find the problem, it's rather easy.
As suggested on every Legend based ROM you should download APN backup and restore and wipe ALL APN's
Why do i type ALL in capital, because that APN list in this rom is huge as in a few 100 entry's. No wonder APN settings FC's!!
What i did, because i'm rather lazy, is make a backup, wipe APN's, open xml on PC, delete all items you don't need (and that are many of them), save it and restore it on your Legend rom
Peace of cake.
Just use that app to get rid of your APN like you said.
Then going into the APN menu and press restore defaults works fine for me.

I toyed with this when developing my ROM but it seems that if you exit the APN list and open again later it will force close again, there are simply too many APNs in the list, or some are incorrectly formatted.
I have been playing with some calls to the sqlite3 binary on the relevent database but everything is fine until the database is restored, then same problem again.

Restoring doesn't help, the list is just to BIG.

The list is too big; that's it.
I've trimmed it and included it in Villain BETA3... it's fixed the issue.

Thanks, I think the problem with me is although the information for Orange appeared correct it just never worked, when manually entering it my internet now works. (along with the problems I had with Orange as well)

I don't know what comp and handset refers to, but did you wipe everything before installing the Rom?

I think he means ChompSMS and Handcent SMS
I did wipe everything prior to installing the booted stock 2.2 froyo.( the official version, not the leaked one)

Well, I was able to fix the problem. I'm almost sure its due to error on my end by trying to delete Sprint stock apps. although I can't say for sure which one I wasn't suppose to delete. Anyway, if anybody ever run into a similar problem here is how I fixed it.
1. I backed up all my app.
2. boot into recovery (clockmode) and wipe everything twice. (user data , and cache)
3. re-installed Froyo (the rooted version), and rebooted.
4. restored all my app. via Titanium backup.
5. verified my latest radio, and winmax. (didn't needed to reinstall these two)
6. tested MMS with Handcent MMs, and Chomp MMs, and with the original htc mms and they all worked.
I would like to thank to all that reply to my thread at my hour of need. hope the above will help another Evo user.

On boostmobile with sprint EPIC4GT

Every time I flash a fh1e or 18 based ics rom everything wotbut i can send out picture messages i changed the url to boostmobile but it doesn't work.. I even set the dns open but still it doesn't work... Any suggestions would be appreciated... N yes i tried the apn cut n the leaked boostmobile rom...
Try using three go SMS app you can find it in the market. it should also allow you to manually change your apn settings in it's settings menu, maybe that might work. I know the only ROM i use is the rooted stock ics ROM because it's the only one i can send and receive mms on for some reason

[Q] MMS Problem ....

I have Problem with sending and receiving MMS messeges ...
I'm on UHD 2.0.3 Locked Bootloader ...
first I thought it's a problem from my provider .. but I was wrong ... I tried to put my sim card on another phone with same settings on my phone and it worked ...
I didn't have this problem before UHD ... but now I noticed that because I needed it now ...
so if any one have this problem and know how to fix it please tell me ...
and thanks in advance
no one have a solution !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey I don't know whether this will help you,but MMS sending/receiving is sometimes restricted to use of mobile data.Make sure you're not using Wifi for sending it.Also if this does nothing,then try using a Third party app like go sms pro.Lastly , you can try restoring a backup or reflashing the rom again .
You must setup your phone to send MMS.
Go to settings>"More...">mobile networks>access point names and look for a MMS profile for your provider and if its not there then push right hardware button and create new apn. You should find a setup guide on your provider site.

well I have MMS settings .. and I tried to setup new one (just like the phone I tried to send MMS with using my SIM card) but nothing worked ...
I think it's a ROM bug ...
I had this prob and fixed by going to Settings>-Xperia>-Internet settings and redownload internet and mms settings! It worked for me, if it works pls hit "thanks"
