    Also this is link that allows you to send the correct MMS settings to your phone. You just have to select the model of your phone and select your service provider and put in your mobile number and the settings will be sent to your phone.

    But you have to also install them once they are received.

      Kate,

      When I got my phone I had texts from my service provider with all the settings for MMS. When I sent an MMS message it told me it was sent immediately and I checked with the person I sent them to and they did get them.

      I know that on the Samsung site there are downloads for all the settings for MMS. And there are different ones depending on your service provider. Maybe you should try that again?

      Try going here Kate it is a step by step guide on how to set up MMS on the Samsung E530. I hope this helps you:

          I have returned this phone I just couldn't get on with it. All the pitfalls I described are there according to shop. Have now got a Sony Ericsson W550i which is recently out and so cool!!! Each to their own eh? I just thought Samsung have really made it with the design but not with its features. Pity as it is soooo sexy

            I have a Nokia 6230 at present which I use with a Motorola Bluetooth. I would like the E530 but the shop I was in couldn't tell me if the Motorola Bluetooth would work with it. Also they couldn't tell me if there was a car charger suitable for the E530?

                Ann-Marie are you sure you can't go to phonebook when you want to send your message?

                  Yes this phone has MMS. It also does have bluetooth which I have used very easily. It hasn't got a loudspeaker though.

                  I have used the video a couple of times, it's not very good if your in a room and it's dark outside and you're just using the light but it's ok when you have enough light.

                      Danni,

                      Of course this phone has a camera. There must have been something wrong with your phone if you could not use it. Click this link to see the pic I took with mine:

                      As for ringtones, put mp3s on it. I have put loads on mine and set them as my tone.

                          Gorgeous phone really sexy but has disadvantages

                          Keypad only beps or mute even tho other tones available
                          No speakerphone
                          Doesn't default to T9 after each text
                          Poor range of ringtones
                          Limited to 20 messages before full
                          Front screen only has pic on it for a few secs then blank apart from time
                          Longwinded text delivery. You have to do at least 5 clicks to send after making text
                          Doesn't let you go straight to phonebook to send (who remembers peoples numbers!!)

                            They are things like shopping list, fragrance type, a weight thingy. I find them useless but some people like them.

                                      I am in the process of purchasing the above-mentioned model. I understand this model has a caller group system. I currently have a Samsung SGH E600 and find this Caller group system very useful. However, I would like to know if, like my current mobile model, this model has the facility of having a different sms tone for every caller group. For example Caller group 1 - family - sms tone 1, caller group 2 - colleagues - sms tone 2, and so on.

                                      Thanking you in advance,

                                      Stephanie
