For smartphone internet to work use this under Cellular Data APN wap.voicestream.com Username blank << please don't put blank under user name just leave it empty password blank MMS APN: wap.voicestream.com MMSC: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080 the rest just leave those blank then restart your device and it will work 100% AT&T users: at&t does not offer MMS for any iphone right now so please don't ask.

I installed MMS from cydia and when I pressed reboot, phone will not go past the "Pineapple" Any suggestions?

san20176 - August 24, 2009 at 1:01pm

eleckttruss - July 1, 2009 at 9:58am

i have a iphone 3g 16gb with t-mobile and im no available to send mms any free application to do that?

san20176 - August 24, 2009 at 1:02pm

you will first have to jailbreak the phone using ultrasnow then you will be able to sent mms using this tool.

san20176 - June 30, 2009 at 7:13pm

hi, i have at&t as my carrier and i have jailbreak then unlock my iphone 3g using ultrasn0w and i do not see the camera button available on the messege at all. i have unlimited text and picture messeging so that shouldn't be a problem but i can't and i am unable to view that particular camera at all.

joker - June 30, 2009 at 8:54pm

You have to go to settings> general> network > cellular data>and type in the mms settings then once your done retart your phone and the camera icon will be there

Joker - June 30, 2009 at 4:59pm

This is what workd for me . I called tmobile and they said that the iphone has to have the http:// if not it wont work i tried all the settings i could find and nothing worked until i found out this little issue. The settings that work for me and my wife and 15 others who i set up the MMS for are APN: wap.voicestream.com MMSC: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080 Let me know if it works for you . Ignore the last post i messed up the proxy and added 050 instead of 50

kameron - July 12, 2009 at 1:42pm

it worked! thanks

Gabe - August 1, 2009 at 4:11am

Worked like a charm! Thanks Joker. When recieving pics, they come in at very low res, but it still works. I've hear others are having this problem too. Just one little kink to work out I guess. But it's working. Thanks.

Bluesideup - August 6, 2009 at 1:29pm

This worked great for T-mobile. After a phone restart the Camera icon is available to the left of the text entering box. Nice!

Darkie - November 8, 2009 at 6:46pm

Worked beautifully. Thanks for the posts.

Joker - June 30, 2009 at 4:57pm

Jay - June 29, 2009 at 4:44pm

DOESN'T WORK! I've tried every setting for TMobile that I could find online INCLUDING THE ONES STRAIGHT FROM TMOBILE and it does not work. I recommend removing this from the website to stop getting peoples hopes up like mine!

tam - June 29, 2009 at 7:58pm

why would i post something that didn't work for me? Maybe you aren't doing it right, maybe you should try some other settings, but after telling me to try it and remove the post, you are not going to get the other settings that i found man

Joker - June 29, 2009 at 10:12pm

The settings for tmobile are APN Name: wap.voicestream.com Proxy: 216.155.165.050 or .216.155.165.50:8080 MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc but under MMS Max Message Size put 1000 or you will not b able to receive messages or send large messages

Jay - June 29, 2009 at 4:40pm

Well the FCC is investigating exclusive contracts between cell phone companies and makers and may ban it. Also Verizon has a good chance of getting a iphone in 2010.

mike - June 28, 2009 at 12:57pm

I've added the MMS settings, but the message still fails to send. Wierdly, when I enter in wap.voicestream.com and then leave the network settings menu, when I come back to it, the wap... is gone. Each time I enter it, it's gone when I return to that menu. When I enter internet2.voicestream.com, it remains there, but still no luck with sending.

kaspars - August 24, 2009 at 10:23am

The same! Dont get the problem. Could some one post how he solve it???

Tam - June 26, 2009 at 6:04am

straight from Tmobile's US website (http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm21387.xml;jsessionid=AN-dygPFLY7xBv7Bis?) here's the setting that works APN Name: wap.voicestream.com Proxy: 216.155.165.050 MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

Jay - June 29, 2009 at 4:41pm

NEWS FLASH! Try it yourself it doesn't work!

tam - June 29, 2009 at 7:50pm

I got it to work on my 3G iphone and i ask others to see if it works, they got it to work too. you are doing something wrong.

Tam - June 25, 2009 at 7:17pm

Does anyone know the MMS settings for Tmobile for US? thanks

vimm - June 25, 2009 at 7:33pm

Scroll down to the MMS feild change APN to wap.voicestream.com username and password should be blank change MMSC to http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc change MMSProxy 216.155.165.50:8080 MMSMaxMessageSIze:blank or default MMSUAProFURL:blank or default after enter complete and now reboot .

Andrew - June 26, 2009 at 1:31am

mike - June 28, 2009 at 1:06pm

Jay - June 29, 2009 at 4:15pm

I tried these settings and they saved but the message fails to send every time even with 5 bars. I have put them in at least 10 times to ensure typing is correct...

Silent - July 4, 2009 at 5:51pm

These are the settings that worked for me...... mms apn: epc.tmobile.com mmsc: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc MMS proxy: 216.155.165.050:8080 cellular data settings apn: internet2.voicestream.com REBOOT your iphone after entering settings and voila!!!!

vimm - June 22, 2009 at 2:59pm

emrah - June 22, 2009 at 5:31pm

Hi, you have to enter the MMS settings (the original carrier One with original carrier SIM), then when you restart you will see those all icons...

san20176 - June 30, 2009 at 7:10pm

I don't really understand what you ment by that.i also have the same problems i have at&t as my carrier and i don't see the camera when i try to sent a messege.

emrahaslan - June 18, 2009 at 5:14pm

Hi, Does anybody knows the MMS settings fro T-Mobile UK.... thanks

Anarchy - June 18, 2009 at 4:00pm

You have to enable GPRS/EDGE and enable MMS (that should be done by your provider)... Then you have to configure MMS Settings right. I had them disabled, after I enabled EDGE & MMS I've restarted the phone and now I have the camera on SMS

Mirko - June 18, 2009 at 11:50am

Hi, just a note, if you run on o2 Ireland, there is no possibility send MMS outside of Ireland, only in nationally. I tried to send and i cant so i spoke with o2 agent and he said, unable only national MMS allowed.

Rick Astley - June 17, 2009 at 8:44pm

iClarified is running the GM seed of 3.0 so his has tethering, picture messaging mms and a whole different features that ours do not have.

emrah aslan - June 17, 2009 at 8:04pm

Hi, I cannot see the camera icon on the SMS page when I use my T-Mobile SIM with my Factory unlocked iPhone 3G, when I put O2 or Turkcell SIM it shows the camera icon??????? :(((((

emrah aslan - June 17, 2009 at 9:07pm

I FOUND THE SOLUTION!!!!!! you have to enter the MMS data of your CARRIER on NETWORK>Cellular Data Network....

emrah aslan - June 17, 2009 at 9:37pm

boaharu - June 17, 2009 at 6:54pm
