At long last the iPhone now has MMS capabilities and if you’re on the TMobile network, you too can take advantage of this great feature. After trying so many different configurations, I finally found one setting that works with sending pictures as well as videos..how sweet is that?
To configure your settings, go to: Settings – General – Network – Cellular Data Network. Please note that I’m using an iPhone 3Gs on firmware 3.1.2.
UPDATE – 07/07/2010 – I just upgraded to IOS4 and these settings still work.
Under the MMS settings use the following values:
APN: wap.voicestream.com
Username:
Password:
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.050
MMS Max Message Size: 1048576 <--optional
|
|
There’s a few of my readers noted that their iphone do not have the Cellular Data Network therefore unable to update their MMS settings. If yours is missing, follow these steps:
1. Open cydia and install winterboard
2. Add source: http://cydia.xsellize.com
3. Search Supreme Preferences 3.0 and install
4. Open winterboard
5. Check it off the supreme preference tab and respring
6. Then go to settings
7. Click supreme preferences tab and go to applications, than go to phone.
8. Cellular data tab: On
9. Click Home, then Settings
10. General – Network – u should now see Cellular Data Network.
If you’re still having problems receiving MMS after completing the steps above, try this video tutorial:

i am a mobile fans and retailer. We have got many feedbacks about all kinds of mobile phone situation. About MMS setting,it’s easy operated for the most part as long as you do it according to the hint step by step or your user manual. But sometimes it failed to send and receive MMS. you need reset and check the MMS parameter, or go back to factory setting and do setting work again. sometimes it has something to do with your mobile network access. so you need try several times to solve it.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the procedure of improving the visibility of a web site or a web page in search engines via the “natural” or un-paid (“organic” or “algorithmic”) search effects. Other forms of search engine marketing (SEM) target paid listings. In general, the earlier (or higher on the page), and more often a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine. SEO may target other kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search and industry-specific vertical search engines. This gives a web site web comportment.

Let me tell you how I solved the problem:
1) Download a program called: Iphone Configuration Utility and install it in your computer.
2) Once installed click on Configuration Profiles then where says “Action Point Name” or APN enter epc.tmobile.com and where says Access Point User Name I entered the same.
3) Click in Mobile Device Management and where says Server URL and Check in URL enter epc.tmobile.com
4) Click on Devices then Configuration Profiles and where says tmobile click on install then sync your iphone, didn’t happen at the first time but I leave my phone connected to the computer and after a while I saw finally the Cellular Network Network, where you also need to enter on all the places where says APN: epc.tmobile.com and finally works.

Reply To This Comment
James Replied:

Robert,
Yes you must downgrade to 3.1.2 on the 2G and utilize Blackra1n to jailbreak the phone.
1. Run Blackra1n
2. Instal Cydia only
3. Run Cydia as “User” and then install complete updates when prompted.
4. Open Cydia
5. Select Manage, Sources then select “edit” on top right then “add” on top left.
6. Add source: sinfuliphonerepo.com
7. Once added go back to manage, sources and select the sinfuliphonerepo link and instal the following in this order…
a. Appsync 3.1.x
(allows cracked apps to sync with itunes)
b. Installous (apps for free)
c. Enable MMS for 2G & 3.1
d. YourTube Cracked
(you can save youtube vids to phone)
e. SIManger
(iPhone by default does not save your contacts to the SIM card. This tool allows you to save up to 250 to your SIM Card. Great back up plan and also great for those that do not utilize iTunes to backup)
Hope that helps!
Best,
James

Jailbroken WIFI Fix!!! This works perfectly. You need to go to cydia on your iphone and follow the PUSH FIX directions. It works prefectly. I’m not good with all the tech stuff and I was able to get my wifi working with ease. Once you install the Wifi fix app, you can always go back and fix your wifi by hitting the app button if it ever goes out again! Good luck…… Heres the link to the directions http://www.redmondpie.com/fix-blacksn0w-wifi-youtube-gps-problem-on-iphone-3.1.2-firmware-9140085/

You can resolve your WiFi issues by resetting your network settings. Go to Settings – General – Reset – Reset Network Settings.
This will reboot the iPhone, once it’s up first check and see if WiFi works. If it works, then start changing the MMS settings.

Not really sure…it should be on there by default. You might want to try resetting your network settings by going to Settings – General – Reset – Reset Network Settings.
Reboot the phone afterwards and check the the APN again.
Found your site by googling mms settings. Found just what I was looking for. By the way, awesome looking blog. The layout is too cool.
