I use a dumb phone in the UK and MMS no longer works on it, not that I ever used it much (but it did work not so long ago). I agree with the sentiment of your comment that the networks probably killed it. buuut...

> I haven't seen or used an MMS for maybe 20+

That's a bit of an exaggeration:

> The first MMS-capable phones were introduced around 2002 in conjunction with the first GSM network.

You are right on both accounts.

I remember the model of the phone I used MMS last, but couldn't remember the exact year. Just looked the model up and I see it's not as old as I thought. It was about 12-13 years ago actually around 2007~2008.

I'm pretty certain I haven't even tried MMS in any other phone since. With blackberries I used their messenger, with Android I used various apps, never MMS. I still use plain SMS occasionally.

Could be à carrier configuration issue.
