[Q] How to Get MMS - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

how do we get MMS without the t-mobile g1 data plan?

I dont think its possible. I guess you can get Chomp SMS and pay for it there which could be cheaper but i dont know if it supports MMS...

i cant really help you . but i can say that its worth the 20 or 30 bucks for the internet plan

Agreed with G-Fetus. Plus you can always tell people to e-mail it to your gmail and you can download the attachment from there.

ok this worked for me...
Goto
Menu -> Settings -> Wireless Controls -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> T-Mobile US
Make sure you go into T-mobile US and not any other settings.
Change the settings to the following:
Name: T-Mobile US
APN: wap.voicestream.com
proxy: 216.155.165.050
port: 8080
Username: not set (delete everything in this field)
Password: not set (delete all here too)
Server: not set (delete the *)
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.050
MMS Port: 8080
MMC: 310
MNC: 260
APN type: not set
Restart your phone. Now your MMS should work.
*Troubleshooting*
1. If you’re having trouble still, go into mobile networks and enable ‘data roaming’ and ‘use only 2G’
- I've tried this and it seems to be working for me.. this is the only solution i know..

does this still work? i heard t-mobile blocked G1s from using this

it still works on mine..

I tried that on my phone because I am having the same problem. Doesn't work for me. Although I didn't edit the T-Mobile US APN, I made a new one, if that somehow matters.
If anyone has figured out anything on how to get mms messages to work without a data plan please let me know. Everything else on my phone works perfectly.

I figured my new friend [girl] had sent the picture to my gmail instead of text. I'd like this to.

[Q] Overseas SIM roaming on AT&T Need help with SMS and APN settings

Hi I'm internationally roaming in the states right now on the AT&T network with my N1 2.2 with a Thai (AIS) SIM card in it.
Voice service works but that's all. No Net, no SMS(can not send or receive)
I've searched the web and these forums for the APN settings
I've found:
Name: whatever_you_want_the_name_to_be {AT&T}
APN: wap.cingular
Username: wap (at) cingulargprs.com
Password: cingular1
MMSC: http: (slash slash) mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
I can go to settings and add a new APN and when I put in all the details it will save it up to MCC and MNC.
If I enter the above numbers into either the MCC or MNC field and hit save or hit the back button the Complete APN and all the settings I just entered disappear from my APN list?
HELP!
Why is it disappearing?
Why can i not send SMS?
At least I would like to be able to send and receive SMS if I can't get data roaming to work.
The password must be in all caps. CINGULAR1 that will fix you up.

[Q] MMS on AT&T??

Hi I tried to look for my issue on the forum, but seem to have problem with my MMS, receiving or sending. I set up my APN, so I am able to get internet and data, but I left the MMS section alone. So I tried another APN setting with cingular info, but still unable to send or receive MMS. Any help would be great thanks.
APN
Create a New APN
Name: What You Like (I choose ATT HSPA+)
APN: PHONE
APN Type: INTERNET
MMS
Create a New APN
Name: Whatever You Like (I choose ATT MMS)
APN: PHONE
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS Port: 80
APN Type: MMS
Doesn't this mean I have to manually change my network setting to send out MMS?
Update: Okay tried what you said, so it automatically select the AT&T Phone. But still doesn't seem to work.
Thank Sebring5, finally figure it out after doing a little more research.
I guess APN is like you said and that should allow for all internet and data, which I already had. But for MMS portion, I needed to add APN: wap.cingular and finally started to get my messages. Thanks.
Yeah...these are my settings also. Gotta make sure you have an imei the system recognizes as hspa+ for these to work.
Btw... I don't have port 80 set, and I think it's faster that way.

APN settings for Straight talk

Hi,
Has anyone tried to activate data using straight talk? I cannot get to connect to the APN with all the available options on the web. If anyone has gotten a working APN setting using this phone model and straight talk please do let me know with the ROM, Radio and the settings that you are using. I am using cyan vivo 10.1, 19M as well as 24M radio without any success. Thanks for any help in advance. I can get voice and sms with the straight talk service though. Only the data plan does not work.
OK, finally figured this one out after a couple of days of hard work. I had to install the Stock ICS ROM 3.6 WWE and use the built in APN configuration for Tracfone. This configuration made it work for straight talk without any modifications. Both data and mms configurations worked. So I noted them down and flashed cyan vivo 10.1 and yay now both data and mms work. But not sure if these are intermittent but have been using for about an hour without any issues. Below are the settings that I used for the JB ROM. You can combine both of them into one, But just to be clear I have these two separately.
