Can you actually disable MMS on Android phones? You can stop the default messaging app from automatically downloading them on my phpne, but I can’t find a way to completely disable them.


Is removing the MMS options under the APN enough to do this?


That's a good question. Presumably if your phone doesn't have network access for MMS it can't download the message in the first place?


Just set you MMS settings to something that looks valid (so the phone will accept them) but non-working. There is then no way it's going to download 'em.


Most carriers will disable texting wholly to your account on request. That's an option.


You can disable auto retrieve of MMS in the messaging applications
