Learn how to use internet settings on your Sony Xperia C3 Dual. To send multimedia messages, or to access the Internet when there is no available Wi-Fi network, you must have a working mobile data connection with the correct Internet and MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) settings. Here are some tips:
