for the first step "1. Put you sim card into another phone that has mms capabilities, turn it on, call at&t." do you call from a land line or the phone you just put the sim into? Cause you mention swapping sims and wouldnt that cause you to have to call back?

also since you work at ATT you should be able to answer this. Do i have to call in or can a person inside the store do it. I have a friend that works inside the store but i know they dont always have access to everything.

you always call from another phone when doing diagnostics. I suppose a store can do it if he can push ota's. I can't......

ok people, I called att asked them to activate the media per pay crap, and they told me that it was already activated, I relized it was already activated because my mom got a lg shine that supports mms and were on the same plan, so basically he mms activated mmsing on the whole plan, I typed in the mmsc.cingular.com and 066.209.011.032 as previously mentioned on proxy, and it didnt work.,...

Am I supposed to fill out apn username and password?

I have the iPhone 3G using swirlymms with no problems using the same settings you are using without calling at&t. All you have to do is put your sim in another phone that can send mms and use it for like 30 minutes talking, You don't have to really talk 30 minutes just use it. Now u go to your at&t online account you should see an option to select Messaging unlimited which is the mms/video texting plan. Choose that plan and go to my media net and register. Then use that phone and go online with it to my media net. The phone has to be set up to use wap through at&t. Now if u can send a mms with that phone,note if it say access denied. just wait a while, it will start working but don't put in iPhone unless the internet and mms is working on the other phone first! then take the sim out and put it in your iPhone and it should work! Thats all I did and its working sending and receiving I don't know how long it will last but all day long its been working.

oh yeah I have iPhone plan only with iPhone data plan, no family plan and visual voicemail still works

[screamforme02]

switching phones and waiting till att.com sees that u have a diffrent phone does give the options to add unlimited messaging but i would still think it will get shut off and ud still be stuck with the extra 20 bucks on ur bill and no messaging because u have to turn off ur regular messaging to activate unlimited. then u would need to call or go online to re activate ur standard messaging. but let me kno how long it last with the ligit iphone plan and the unlimited turned on

[dooley19]

well I tried it and it only last a few hours once at&t recognize your using an iphone. But to get it back working, u put the sim back in the other phone and wait a lil while then, its working back on the iPhone again. this is a pain!!

well not to be an ***.. but sinner if you worked for AT&T and messed with your own account. you would be fired on the spot.. trust me i would know =)

[gQstatus05]

Lol. True. I work for AT&T too, at a call center. I wouldn't dare touch my account. That's why I always call in wait forever on hold and get an idiot who doesn't know what they are doing.

[sinner1649]

that's why you have someone else do it duh.... But I was there so ya..... But whatever good luck!!!

[BDaniels08]

the entire call center is not aloud to enter any area code withing your like state. and if it is a supervisor is suppose to watch it closely. lol bud i know everything about your job because they are all the same!

[sinner1649]

lol think whatever you want.....bud....I work in a store, different rules than call centers. Trust me I would know...bud. If we had the same rules then by god I would have a hard a** time doing business if I couldn't enter anyone's number in my state unless I was being watched. Call up your local dealer and ask what the rules are. Bet it goes something like this......As long as you personally are not entering your account and you have someone else do it then it's fine. Just make sure it is notated and everything by the person in the account. I think I know my own rules......
