Have you first deleted the Saunalahti Internet from phone's settings and then created the mms APN there? I mean I want to keep my internet APN functional and still send and receive mms-messages without editin the APN-list every time.

I'm asking because there's no such settings like proxy or port in fMMS settings-page.

Yes, you need to edit the Internet APN everytime (for now) and configure the proxy there.

Okay, that's what I was thinking too. I think I need to wait for firmware-update and hope it's gonna allow to have more than just one APN :-/

No, unfortunately that doesn't work. Here in UK, I've seen two operators where MMC and MNC are not sufficient to identify the APN setting:

Vodafone UK - This matches an MMC/MNC in /etc/operator_settings, but it doesn't work. At least 3 different APNs are documented on forums, according to type of contract (contract vs. pay-as-you-go (aka.prepay); possibly different again for data card SIMs). One of those APNs might be out of date (hard to be sure), but I know for sure, 2 of them are active and the correct one has to be used for your contract type otherwise you get no connection.

Giffgaff - This matches MMC/MNC in /etc/operator_settings, but it doesn't work. It shows up as O2, because Giffgaff piggybacks on O2, but the O2 APN does not work - you have to use the Giffgaff one. You can't detect this from MMC/MNC.

That's just for regular data connections. If you can't choose the regular data APN from MMC/MNC alone, I am quite sure you can't choose the correct MMS settings from it.

Isn't there any more information available from USIMs? I'm sure I've seen long screenfuls of relevant looking data on some diagnostic software.

Whether there is or not, it seems that operators often send a special kind of text after you put a SIM into a new phone; the special text contains appropriate data and MMS settings.

Of course it does not always work automatically, except for the first operator used with a phone, because phones (e.g. Symbian) can be rather complicated about these things, maintaining multiple APN profiles etc. and keeping a mix of old and new settings; virtually all users would have no idea what to do with it. I certainly don't, so my very cheap and basic other Nokia phone cannot do data or MMS to any operator other than the one whose SIM I put in the first time - even though the phone is unlocked and manages voice + SMS to all operators without any problem.

Updated first post with link to a GUI program to add a new APN; http://mms.frals.se/fapn.html

Uploaded to -devel as well.

Just thought I'd throw another working carrier in the ring, AT&T here in the USA

APN: AT&T Internet
APN Address: wap.cingular
HTTP Proxy: 66.209.11.32:80
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com

GREAT work! I'll be interested in checking out some of the code, and possibly lending a hand in future development

AltarCrystal: Nice, the code is in /opt/fmms, I'll try to get it up on the garage site as well and starting commiting there instead of my local svn

0.1.3-1 pushed to -devel, should appear soon.

Fixes:
* should be able to send MMS thru a MMSC contaning a path in the url (ie T-Mobile USA) when not using a proxy
* able to send MMS without attachment again

frals any way to make fmms force a connection
i got it to work but first before i send it i have to manually connect to the specific connection so fmms will not give me an error?

Not yet implemented, I'm working on it though For now you have to connect manually I'm afraid

yes but at least it forces a connections when mms is coming in also can you have the connection time out after some time lets say 30 sec after receiving mms?
