O2 Contract - Can't Send MMS!

I wonder if one of you lovely people can help. I'm on a pay-monthly O2 contract (have been on this particular contract for 6mths now) and have a Sony K700i phone as part of that.

I can receive, but not send picture messages. I've updated my settings from the O2 site, but it still won't send - it connects to GPRS and attempts to send, but times out and places my message in my outbox. The weird thing is that I can receive picture messages from other people fine!

The only thing I've narrowed it down to is that although I have the correct MMS server selected in my profiles and am connecting via HTTP, I don't have a username and password stored to connect through to the MMS server. I've just checked against my mum's PAYG O2 phone, and she has a username of "payandgo" and a password (asterisked out) for the same MMS server.

So - I require the username and password for the pay monthly settings. Can anyone who's on Pay Monthly help me out here?

Thanks in advance.
