• Phone Settings - Choose your manufacturer (Samsung selected)
• Phone Settings - Samsung SM-N9005 Galaxy Note 3

Notes

• The PIN is usually the last 4 digits of your phone, if required
• Setting up the APN settings from the virgin site (as per that link for that other samsung phone i used) gets you on the internet on striaght away (possibly because i was alreay on though)  and configures the MMS.
• MMS does not work straight away, you have to:
  1. reboot your phone so it registers the new functionality on the network (educated guess)
  2. possibly send a MMS message to activate the server. (this seems stupid and I am not 100% this is require anymore). You can send this message to your own.
