Guide: MMS and Tethering working with AT&T on 3.0 iphone

[oo3]

haha yeah the girl's name is Zack...haha. it was a test mms from my friend and he happened to choose a pic from his phone.

[Ezzard]

I used the method number 1 and got my MMSs to work but it ceases whenever I reboot the phone. i have to go and put the sim back in the other phone for a while. I also have the unlimited txt plan and not the iphone txt plan.

I got this working finally by swapping the sim to another phone on the acct. 2 iPhones working with MMS and the swapping phone was a Samsung Eternity.

In order to download mms and tethering on my iphone 3g 3.0.. What version on itunes do i need to do this??

[StealthBravo]

any version of itunes works. If you use itunes 8.2 you just have to enable custom ipcc upgrading

Well fortunately it worked for me. I did the steps (put SIM in old RAZR, talked to friend, waited 20 minutes, registered at Media Net website, sent test MMS, put SIM in iPhone, sent test MMS, received test MMS).

Unfortunately, it only lasted about 4 hours. I received and sent a total of 3 pictures on my iPhone (1st gen). Now it stopped working.

Oh well, fun while it lasted!

[mattrobell]

can you confirm it working?

[Devante]

Just an update on my post 3 messages ago.

I put my sim card into my RAZR this morning, send an MMS, it failed, clicked "resend", it worked.

Then I put the sim card back into my 1st gen iPhone and immediate received the MMS I sent from my fiancee's phone last night that failed.

I then sent two more MMS messages and they both worked.

I was able to get MMS working on both 3Gs on my account. Now visual voicemail does not work on them. I get a message that says "Voicemail Unavailabe Unable to initiate connection"

Any ideas?

my voicemail apn settings are set to acds.voicemail.com

EDIT: got it working. I reset my APN settings to default. left voicemail APN set to wap.cingular.com and added MMS mmsc and proxy. Rebooted phone and everything is working again.

How do I switch to a PDA data plan? I don't mind giving up Visual Voice Mail for mms.

i just try to send a MMS on my phone and it work.
let me get this clear dough i have a iPhone 3Gs running 3.1 beta.
what am think is that is working because 3.1 come with MMS active in the 4.2 carrier.

I've had my mms working on 3.0 with stealth's ippc. I even loaded it to my 3gs and it was working for the past 2 weeks however this morning like at 3am I tried to send a pic message and all of a sudden the pic dissapeared and the camera icon was gone... I havent been able to get my mms back!!

It'd be nice to have a JB for 3.1 (or the info from someone who has JBed 3.1) to find out what data settings are truely needed for MMS on iPhone plans...

Has anyone attempted to use MMS on a 3GS? MMS worked for me the first couple of days I had my phone, all I had to do was upgrade to AT&T 5.0. Apparently iPhone 3GSs were already provisioned for MMS. However, it then stopped working, as AT&T must have decided to turn off my MMS. Even if I update network settings, reboot, change carrier file, etc., I do not even see MMS settings or the camera button. Has anyone else had this issue?

[TomatoTomago]

I have iphone 3GS 16gb black. and i got mms, tether, and internet working perfectly. Updating to ver 5.0 didnt work for me. I eventually was able to get mms working after doing alot of modification to ver 5.0. I renamed it 5.1.

here's some recent pics:
