This is quite possible, from a thread re Jolla phones:
Swisscom will not even let you send MMS when you use an unknown model of phone
(e.g. the Jolla). I had the same with the N900 and fmms back then.
The solution is to call their hotline and kindly convince them that your
handset is capable of MMS sending and receiving. They will then enable it for
your phone. However, when you place your SIM card in another phone and put it
back in the Jolla, you'd have to call the hotline again.
There are also mentions of the configuration being reset incorrectly for
a new device

Title:
Swisscom does not recognize ubuntu phones as MMS capable
Status in Canonical System Image:
Incomplete
Status in ofono package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
When connecting to carrier swisscom with bq4.5 or mx4 (both OTA10.1) carrier
sends a welcome SMS, which explaines that the new device is not capable of
receiving MMS messeages.
As a result only a SMS with a swisscom weblink is received if somebody tries
to send a MMS to my ubuntu phones.
