Seriously, I can’t understand this thread, why is my mobile device communicating with gateways of my operator??? Suspicious and dangerous, just capture those packets and prove there is some of your user data sent? If you can’t shim/decode: Do you have stats how much data is uploaded? Gigabytes? Megabytes? A handshake?
Well, as I noted above, the IP of my cellular modem does not even match the 25.x.x.x address. Who the address is registered to is ultimately irrelevant. It’s a symptom of a networking software problem somewhere. Unless it’s a hardware problem, and all Xperia 10 IIIs running Sailfish OS can’t send or receive MMS, which I think I’d have read about by now…

No, it’s a symptom of you not understanding ("mms/rcs can’t go over wifi“, YES THEY CAN, that’s what they’ve been designed to do), your description of suspicious network traffic is baseline normal traffic for me with my failed sim experience (mms/rcs still go through over wifi while sim is OFF), so I’m really not getting what’s the problem?
I’ve been using cellphones in Canada for 13 years. MMS has never worked over anything but cellular data. Just the way it is here. Can’t speak for the USA carriers. RCS is not in discussion, don’t get why you keep conflating them. And I’m describing broken network activity, not suspicious network activity.

Because rcs-mms are intertwined, even if you don’t use rcs you will get rcs messages through mms (your suspicious/dangerous communication of your handset with mms servers might be just it, someone from your friend group sent you an rcs message and your handset might be trying to retrieve its mms alternative, reeeeee suspicious)
Edit: oh and I’ve been using a cellphone over 13 years, thanks for that.useless tidbit
You’re in quite the masturbatory loop there. I shall leave you to it. Please refer back to the previous posts and initial image I included when you’re finished. I do in fact receive RCS messages via MMS. Over cellular data only, as is the standard.
And you will receive them over wlan if you just bothered to test, thanks and goodnight
(edit: and no rcs standard includes: mobile data only kek, edit2: again connect your android device and see if you can find those connections in the thousands, pretty sure you will if the messages are pending, whether you can fish them out, well good luck
EDIT3: I know your 13 years of mobile experience says it HAS to go through mobile data, but my own experience being stuck with only WLAN and no mobile data says it doesn’t as I was happily sms’ing/rcsing just using wifi, turns out it DOESN’T HAVE TO, but you do you)
I have verified with my carrier’s tech support that the problem is not on their end, my APN settings are correct, and MMS does indeed only go over cellular data with them. So, OS-level, cellular modem associated problem. I guess I will try submitting a bug report at some point. In addition to the 192.0.0.x and 25.x.x.x addresses, I’ve also caught 10.x.x.x addresses being generated as source addresses on my LAN in attempts to send/receive MMS content. None of which are LAN IPs nor my carrier’s IPs.
