https://community.sony.cz/t5/e-series/receiving-mms-messages-with-mobile-data-turned-off/m-p/3521108#M2681 <P>Normally I cannot receive MMS messages with mobile data turned off. I have had my data turned off for some days now so I was very surprised yesterday morning when I turned on my phone and found I had received a text with a picture attached. Thinking that something had changed, I did an experiment by sending an MMS to my phone from another smartphone. Nothing was received. I phoned Sony support and they said the reason I had received the first MMS was because I had WiFi available. When I pointed out that this situation also applied when I had sent myself an MMS but I'd not received the message that time, the person in support was unable to explain. This morning, when I turned on my phone, the MMS I had sent to myself appeared!</P><P>This seems strange, and I am wondering if a phone uses a bit of data when being turned on (even though mobile data isn't enabled) and this is why I got the MMS messages. Does anyone know if that is the case please?</P> Wed, 12 Apr 2017 17:49:51 GMT JohnnyS 2017-04-12T17:49:51Z https://community.sony.cz/t5/e-series/receiving-mms-messages-with-mobile-data-turned-off/m-p/3521108#M2681 <P>Normally I cannot receive MMS messages with mobile data turned off.
