(No, mines NOT pink)

After unlocking my 3G to work with T-Mobile, I was even able to get MMS working. Funny. I have an AT&T phone with no MMS, and a T-Mobile iPhone with MMS.

Here are the settings:

APN: wap.voicestream.com
Username:
Password:
MMSC: 216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
MMS Max Message Size:
MMS UA Prof URL:

Once settings are entered restart your phone and the little camera icon should show in the Messages. Let me know if this helps anyone!

    Where do I get the MMSC, MMS Proxy, MMS Max Message Size, and MMS UA Prof URL:?

    When I tried to put any MMS via Cydia, it get this warning stating there are some conflicts which can NOT be resolved. etc...

    actually, it does not help me. I only have the APN, username and passward.

    How do I get the MMSC, MMS Proxy, MMS max message size and MMS UA Prof URL?

    Hey Rob:
    Two questions:
    1) I've got a 2G iphone using Tmobile. I used your setting to send mms using Activatemms and I get the red exclamation point.
    2) Got a jailboken 3G and after installing Activatemms, phone froze with Apple logo after restart. Had to do a complete restore. Any suggestions?
  • 1. For the 2G phone, I have never used ActivateMMS2G or even tried to activate MMS on the 2G. The numbers are right, so if it's not working for you, re-check. Remember, these are for US T-Mobile only.

    2. ActivateMMS2G is ONLY FOR THE 2G PHONE. If you installed it on the 3G, I can only imagine that it will break things. The best thing for you to do at this point is a full restore on your phone. If you're not sure how, hit up http://modmyi.com and the iPhone Dev Blog at http://blog.iphone-dev.org

    Good luck!

    You're right, the 3G froze and I did do the restore, but I was trying to find out how I go about enabling MMS on a 3G, jailbroken using 3.0 on Tmobile. Thanks.

  • After a clean restore and unlock, you should be able to punch in the
    MMS settings, reboot, and no problems.

    i entered the numbers into my 3g and can send mms, takes a little while, but have yet to recieve a mms. any thoughts?
  • Not sure what it may be. I've had no problems so far. Double check and
    recheck your settings.

    Got it working on a 3g, also got a hack through cydia for the 2g and the settings work for that as well.
    Thanks!
  • That's great to hear! Happy hacking!
  • Iphone
    Thanks , it works.
  • stephan
    would this work on 2g iphones also
  • The numbers are the same, but "technically" you're not supposed to be
    able to do MMS on the 2G. There is an app in Cydia that is called
    ActivateMMS2G. I haven't tried it. If you break your phone, it's not
    my fault.

    I do have the picture icon on my sms and I inserted a picture into the message but when I send it, I get an error (that little red exclamation point !) No matter how many times I try to send I keep getting it....Any idea why? Thanks
  • Double check the settings on your phone. Those settings are for T-
    Mobile US. You may even want to try to reset your network settings and
    reboot before you punch in the settings. If all else fails start from
    scratch. Everyone has been reporting that it works flawlessly.

    Good luck!

    Man.....Thanks alot this works.... I am so happy now that I have mms ... Excellent work...
  • That's great to hear! Keep us informed with your experience.
  • Lam
    It works, thanks !!!! However, it always compresses the pictures received to : 60-80 Kb. Is there anyway to fix the problem? Thanks
  • I haven't heard of a way to fix it. I noticed that with the first MMS
    I received, but the second was ok. They were from 2 differant phones
    and carriers so maybe that has something to do with it. I'll post more
    if I find out.
