Whew. I always think "they're on to me" when my service cuts out. I don't think they will target iPhone users specifically except maybe to push us towards the more expensive Smart Phone plan. I changed to internet2 and it's working again. I've had better luck with epc.tmobile.com though, so as soon as the outage is done I'm switching back. MMI does have setting for using MMS with internet2 and as of now, my MMS is still working, even though I changed the Data APN. I think my phone settings are changed so I can independently set the Data and MMS APN though. I'm just glad it's a temp thing. Thanks for the investigative reporting ya'll.

EDIT: yep, MMS is working (on 3G 3.0) but slow, almost 2 minutes for a photo to process.

Eleni: I'm on the $19.95 unlimited text and web plan.

So internet2.voicestream.com works for me.

I followed the link you showed me and I have iSpazio repository added. Yet whenever i search for activatemms2g nothing shows up. I already tried this and I found that the sinful repository had something to enable the mms in iphone 2g. Now I can't find thee iSpazio mms on Cydia thus I cannot follow that guide.


EDIT: the humble can you post your MMS settings? Thanks in advance.

I actually used the Sinful iPhone repo to get ActivateMMS2g. I'm on my phone right now so I can't link it, but if you Google it it'll come up.

Right now I'm using epc.tmobile.com as my MMS APN (which oddly works fine when the 'net does not).

Oh and I meant to add that we have the same exact plan, so I'd assume what I did would work perfectly for you as well.

Thanks Eleni!!! Everything is working fine and actually a lot faster than before(My MMS was sent pretty quickly)!

Also my MMS wasn't working due to bad settings. I finally got to send my brother a picture of my yankees' cap He is a Phillies fan :P

So people who cannot get their data/mms working; here's what to do:

For DATA:
1] Change your Cellular Data APN to: internet2.voicestream.com

FOR MMS for (2G):

1] Add this source to the repo:

http://www.sinfuliphonerepo.com

2] Install "Enable MMS for 2G & 3.0 FW -OR- Enable MMS for 2G & 3.1.2 FW" via Cydia
3] REBOOT
4] Go to Settings -> General -> Reset Network Settings
5] REBOOT
6] Enter the following for MMS Settings:
APN: epc.tmobile.com
Username: BLANK
Password: BLANK
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.050
MMS Max Message Size: 24000000
MMS UA Prof URL: http://wap.sonyerricsson.com/UAprof/W800iR101.xml
7] You should be good to go with MMS now, anyone can chime in if I made a mistake.

2] Tap Continue.
3] Tap "Custom APN"
4] In the Carrier dropdown menu choose the 1st 'US T-Mobile' option.
5] Then it will automatically put in 'internet2.voicestream.com'.
6] Now it 'Create Profile'.

This thread rocks! I too thought I had been caught. Changing my APN to internet2 as me back online.

Now if I could only get MMS working on my 2G 3.1.2.

Mufakka check out my small tutorial above your post [POST #19 | OR CLICK HERE], see if that gets your MMS on the road.

[Mr Mufakka]

Yeah, I've tried that one. Got it all loaded but still no luck. My MMS APN won't stick. Tried entering it time and time but everytime I go back, it's blank. WTF.

[angrydog]

Hmm, I had the problem where it was going blank this morning but I reinstalled it from Cydia but this time I rebooted then I reset the settings then I rebooted again; then I proceeded to enter new settings and since then everything works.


EDIT: Maybe it's the 3.1.2

[Mr Mufakka]

I also have a problem sending mass texts. Sometimes I can send the same text to (2) people but I can never send one to (3) or more.

[angrydog]

Ooo Sorry can't help you there as I don't usually send multiple texts.

the phone won't keep an apn stored if it's different than the data apn. If you read the original post of this thread, I linked to another site. Follow what it says on there from going to the co.nz website on your phone and on. That allowed me to have a different mms apn than the data apn.

[angrydog]

Yes, I followed Unlockit - APN Changer for your iPhone and thats how I can set a different APN for data and MMS.

Whoa.

So I reloaded and then clicked the reset settings button in my network settings. I assumed all my settings would go blank. No. They have all the settings above. And my MMS APPEARS to have been sent (although I haven't received it on the phone I sent it to).

Problem now is, the internet APN is wap.voicestream.com. If I change it, the MMS APN disappears, lol.

MMS is sending and receiving!!! WOOHOO!! Thanks guys!

Now trying the Unlockit link above.

EDIT: Glad everything worked out, and you have to thank Eleni first because without her I wouldn't have figured some of this out either.

[Mr Mufakka]

Unlockit did it! I had to reboot to get it to take effect but now my internet AND MMS are working! Woot!
