Hello all,
I thought that it would be good to share this with the rest of the world.
I'm using the HTC Magic on fido, and for the longest time I had trouble finding working fido MMS APN settings. Most of what I could find via a google search referenced just setting up one APN, quoted various proxies, server addresses - let's just say a lot of contradicting information.
Finally - I did a quick search about the APN Type (the last field in the APN setup screen). I solved my MMS worries by setting up two APNs with different types.
So without further delay, here's the good stuff.
APN1 [this one will have the radio button beside it]
Name: fido internet
APN: internet.fido.ca
Username: fido
Password: fido
APN Type: default
(all other fields blank)
APN2 [this one will not have any radio button beside it]
Name: fido mms
APN: mms.fido.ca
MMSC: http://mms.fido.ca
MMS Proxy: 205.151.011.013
APN Type: mms
(all other fields blank)
Hope this helps!

PERFECT! I had the internet settings but not mms. other sites are giving incorrect mms settings for Fido, But U R DA MAN!
Data plan blocked?
Is it possible Fido applied the data plan shutdown to unlocked phone owners too? See article “Rogers Canada forces Android update that takes away root access” on boingboing.net.
I had good 3G bandwidth in the morning and no more connection in the afternoon. Still offline
Anyone else experiencing the same troubles?
They might have changed the APN credentials...
I recently got my sister's Rogers Dream ... NOT unlocked or anything...and i have the old sim from about 5 years ago....(don't know if that is the reason)
but these FIDO APN settings are not working for me!

Hey do you still have this problem? Because I do and I'd like to fix it. Do you think that Rogers ban extends to Fido customers as well (since they use the same network)?
This may help you to solve the problem.
Figured it out today thanks to all the other information here.
Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Acces Point Names
Create a new one for each:
Internet
Name: Fido Internet
APN: internet.fido.ca
Proxy: 205.151.11.11
Username: fido
Password: fido
MCC: 302
MCN: 370
MMS
Name: Fido MMS
APN: mms.fido.ca
MMSC: htp://mms.fido.ca
MMS Proxy: 205.151.11.13
MMS Port: 8080 (still needs to be confirmed, I didn't want to test too much without unlimited MMS)
Username: fido
Password: fido
MCC: 302
MCN: 370
APN Type: mms
So far it works!
These settings worked awesome for me. I have a Rogers Samsung Galaxy S Captivate. I unlocked it to use on Fido's network. At first, my voice worked fine, but no data. These APN settings now have my data working. Thank you so much for posting this!
I'm using these settings on an unlocked Atrix and no luck at all. How long does it usually take for these settings to work?

works great. been using those settings for a while. Great job
Hello all,
It appears as though there has been a change to the way that the APN's for internet and mms work under Android 2.2. You no longer need two APN's. It can all be handled with the following:
I'm using my Android 2.2 Samsung Galaxy S (Bell Version) on Fido and found that the two APN setup no longer worked for sending or receiving MMS messages. I solved my MMS problem by setting up a single APN with the following settings.
APN [this one will have a radio button beside it when done]
Name: Fido
APN: internet.fido.ca
Proxy: leave as default showing "Not Set"
Port: leave as default showing "Not Set"
Username: fido
Password: fido
Server: leave as default showing "Not Set"
MMSC: h t t p : / / m m s . f i d o . c a
MMS Proxy: 205.151.011.013
MMS Port: leave as default showing "Not Set"
MCC: leave as default
MNC: leave as default
Authentication Type: leave as default showing "Not Set"
APN Type: internet + mms
Make sure not to enter the spaces shown in the MMSC field above. I only show it that way because I am not allowed to post URL's yet.
This worked perfectly for internet access and MMS after making these settings.
Hope this helps!
i always used 1 APN since 2.1
as long asd you select the type to be internet + mms
Second that. Been used under 2.1 forever as that was pulled from the fix for nexus one when mms stopped working for Fido and rogers. Nexus default apn is the one that's commonly used for iphone though.
Not working for me!
Hi!! I have no internet access (exept with wi-fi), I use the setting above.
We I upgrade to 2.2 I had to do it whit ODIN.
I9000GJL2 band version!!
Any idea?? AllGamer, the pro??

@demetan71
did you create the APN entry?
Solved!!
Since I had this phone I was with Bell, but I never cancel my Fido contract, but I keep it to minimum fee.
I call yesterday, I find that they block me to the internet 3G because I tried one time Thetering!!
They unblock me, and now it work's fine whit the settings above!!
I've been trying to use this APN on an Atrix for Fido with very little luck. What can I be doing wrong?
This Works for me -Galaxy Samsung S
I was having the same problem. I gave fido a call and the person I spoke with gave me the configuation to enter.
Name: call what u want
APN: wap.fido.ca
Proxy IP: 205.151.11.11
Server: h t t p : / / fido . mobi
user: fido
pswd: fido
I then turned on roaming as I read that is what finally made it work for others having problems connecting. it took a few minutes for everything to work, but it seems to be working fine now. As soon as I went to an internet page, I received an SMS telling me I tried to access a web page without having a data plan. I clicked on the link, bought a plan and I'm surfing the waves of the net.
I did go back to look at my configuration for the net and some things seemed to have changed:
Name: fido (same name as before -doesn't really matter)
APN: wap.fido.caapndroid
Proxy: 205.151.11.11
User: fido
Pswd: **** (I'm guess the "*" are for fido like before)
Server: h t t p : / / fido . mobi
APN type: *apndroid
I guess it said droid after certain configs because I am using a Galaxy Samsung S (European model).
The spaces in the links are there because I am not allowed to post URLs yet, so remove them when entering the config information.
Hope one of the above configs works for you.
I've seen a few treads addressing Wifi Calling, but they typically seem to address it in combination with other features (VoLTE, Band 12, etc) and not specifically on MetroPCS (yes, it is T-Mobile). My question:
I have both a Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P. I have provided my E911 address for both phones and I can get WiFi calling to work on the 5X but not on the 6P. Both phones are rooted with the "N" build and both have the original radio (from "D") flashed for band 12.
Has anyone had WiFi calling work on MetroPCS with the Nexus 6P?
Metro PCS WiFi calling for Nexus 6P
I have a Motorola Nexus 6 that has WiFi calling with metro PCS (It shows T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling under cellular networks). I don't understand why my new Huawei Nexus 6P does not connect to Wi-Fi calling on metro PCS. The settings for Wi-Fi calling show "on" & "Wi-Fi calling preferred", but still native Wi-Fi calling doesn't work.
Does anyone know how to get Wi-Fi calling working on the Huawei Nexus 6P on metro PCS?

What are your settings for "access point names" and "network operators" on your Nexus 5x? I think that might be the reason the Nexus 6p does not connect to Wi-Fi calling. My Motorola Nexus 6 shows T-Mobile under "network operators", but my Huawei Nexus 6P shows MetroPCS. I don't find the way to have it connect it to the T-Mobile network, instead of the MetroPCS.

I was able to have my MetroPCS Wi-Fi calling work on my Huawei Nexus 6p. Just make sure you are using the APN settings for T-Mobile and of course turn on Wi-Fi calling under wireless & networks, more.

I did some experimenting. If you set MVNO type to "NONE" or set MVNO Value to empty "" (Not Set) it will make the APN disappear when you save it. If I leave all the settings at their default values (the MetroPCS values) and set the MVNO type to anything other than none and set the MVNO value to anything other than none, the phone works normally (but no WiFi calling) so I don't think the setting matters. That being said, I set all the other values to the ones you suggest (T-Mobile) and it didn't work. In fact if I change from fast.metropcs.com to fast.t-mobile.com I lose my data connection.
Changing your APN settings will fix the issue. These are theAPN settings that made my Nexus 6P connect to Wi-Fi calling on MetroPCS. Make sure you save your new APN after you create it and restart your phone. After you restart your phone make sure that this new APN is selected. Internet, Wi-Fi calls and texts work just perfect.

I tried that and unfortunately it didn't work. If I use fast.t-mobile.com as the APN I lose mobile data. Even so, with WiFi enabled I did not get WiFi calling. Hopefully someone else can try it and see if it works for them.

Have you called MetroPCS to update your e911 address? That's another thing I did besides creating the APN settings for T-Mobile

Go into system settings and about phone.
I was able to to activate Volte and WiFi calling by editing my apn.
The apn metropcs260dun I changed APN to ims and change APN type to ims. Apn protocol to ipv6 and apn roaming protocol to ipv4.
The metropcs260 with apn type of default,supl,mms I changed the mmsc to tmobiles default. (It won't let me add it because I'm a guest. But its a couple posts up)
Apn protocol ipv6, apn roaming protocol ipv4.
The other metropcs260 with ia as APN type, change apn protocol to ipv6 and apn roaming protocol to ipv4.
Change these apns and reboot. With these setting I now get Volte and WiFi calling, and HD voice. I am able to send sms with WiFi calling enabled in airplane mode but not mms. If anybody could help figure out how to get mms over WiFi with airplane mode on would be fantastic. Hope this helps

I was able to find an easier way. All you have to do is edit the apn metropcs260. Change the mmsc to tmobiles ( make sure you have the http: // in front) , then change the apn protocol and roaming protocol. Set this as your default and voila WiFi calling and Volte after you enable them settings. Only issue is mms won't send over WiFi in airplane mode.
No dice. @M3grady2

Make sure you mvno says none. To accomplish this you might have to delete all your apns. Then you'll be able to make those changes and have them save.

I noticed all the apn deletes if you set to none. I'll delete the other apns and try again. Thanks
Edit :So I deleted the other 2 apns and now it saved. I also have a bunch of new apns.
Edit 2 : WiFi calling is working but wifi texting is not. I can love with that lol.

How do you guys know when VOLTE is working? Also, my WiFi calling works good, both texting and calling, and I just changed the APN to T-Mobile settings. However, when I switch airplane mode on my Wi-Fi calling does not work at all. And yes my Wi-Fi is on, but I get a message saying to turn off airplane mode or connect to a wireless network to make a call. I don't know what I'm missing or doing wrong. Any body?
