Well, ya see I can text and get internet, but no MMS. I have Cellular One (Dobson) for now until my contract is up in about a year. I am wondering if anyone knows how I can achieve a connection better than EDGE and how to send MMS. I tried the MMS settings from HowardForums btw and it goes to 99% and boofs. I tried ATT settings for the internet and it doesn't work.
Hi I just got a g1 and was wondering is there a way u can have picture message without having to buy the Internet plan? Or are all andriod power phones required to have Internet plans to have picture message or mms. That would suck cause it would be like owning a Chinese cell phone. Can anyone please help me thanks.
i think it depends on the provider, tmobile has SMS/MMS service and then they have there data plan, i could be wrong about this
You just need to find out your carriers MMS settings and enter them in the phone. MMS do not use one's internet plan, they use the MMS settings and data services, then you either get charged per MMS or if you have an MMS plan, based off that.
A data plan, and the data that comes with that data plan, is totally different from MMS.
How do u get. To the mms plan?
Is there a way u can just download it put it on ur phone and then set ur country to united states or wherever ur from.Cause on my htc wing I had to download a network wizard onto my phone and just fixed my settings and after that it worked. I could reciebe and sent text with my htc wing.
I was wondering can I do that same with the g1. Thanks
if U got Tmobile : What ever textPlan U got ,u Get Mms Dont Need No Data Plan. IN THE US i dont no in other Countrys =D
g1
no thats not true at all. u need internet plan in order for the G1 to have mms. i'm in the US. is there a setting that i have to fix?

YOU DO NOT NEED A DATA PLAN TO MMS!!!!! MMS does not use your data plan settings or data! All you need to do is enter the proper MMS settings into your APN list, and then when you go to send a MMS, your G1 will automatically test each APN you have until it finds the right one, or none of them work.
Where is my apn list located?
Slightly off topic
but phone plans on the other side of the pond are ridiculous. my contract is for 600 minutes anywhere in europe per month, unlimited texts, unlimited data (and none of that being charged for receiving a call nonsense) with a free htc magic for £30 per month on an 18 month contract. you guys really do get shafted
g1
that still doesnt answer my question.
t-mobile's unlimited texting includes mms, it's on the site. as picture messaging.
ive never had just a messaging plan, but they do have sms/mms settings, and it doesnt use data for mms. in transfering my samsung blackjack 2 from att to tmo, i had first got the sms/mms settings working, then data. tmobile is very helpful in porting over unlocked phones from other carriers. very. but att and tmobile 3g is differant so that part wont work
g1
so i'm screwed?

no...your phone will work on tmobile...they won't require data plan for mms.

my phone does work. everything works but my mms. t mobile wants people to buy internet plan in order for the phone to work properly, so they made the phone not work with mms unless u purchase the internet plan with the phone. I dont have the internet plan with the phone. So my mms doesnt work. So i was wondering if there is a way to make my mms work. Since this site has hackers to do these things i just thought it would be possible to do this.
not sure but google tmobile samsung blackjack 2 sms/mms settings, then maybe find where to input the mms settings. if i remember right everything on the phone worked except mms and internet on the bj2 before i called tmobile and got it worked out. i specifically remember setting up mms FIRST, testing to make sure that worked, then set up the data.

If you actually read what many of have been posting, you would see that YOU DO NOT NEED A DATA PLAN TO MMS!! All you need to do is enter the correct settings... seeing that you managed to find this site somehow, I would assume you are proficient in the use of the interwebs... maybe try googling "t mobile MMS settings G1"...
But do not rant and rave anymore about T-Mobile trying to shaft you into a data plan, when that is not true at all, and as many of us have pointed out multiple times already, all it takes is for you to enter the MMS settings into your phone.

Only two pages and your already doing my head in, now open your ears, engage your brain and you might learn something!
1) get off your lazy arse.
2) read the manual for the phone.
3) find your apn settings menu (and don't ask me where, that's why god created manuals!)
4) this has fook all to do with 'hacking'
5) goto your service providers web page and find their mms settings.
6) enter those settings.
7) YOU DO NOT NEED A DATA PLAN ON T^MOBILE!
8) say 'DoH' and come back here
9) look sheepish and say sorry to all the nice people!
Hear endeth your lesson
i'm bak!
I'm bak but not to apologize. I went on tmobile website and cant find any MMS settings. Can anyone help me? please.

We can't help you anymore than we have... we have given you advice on multiple options to find out what your MMS settings are, not to mention simple common sense. If you truly can't get it with the hand fed info we have given you, try going into a T-Mo store and having them enter the settings for you (the most common sense option of all, by the way).
I cant send mms to my wife's slide, my two friends' nexus ones, my other friend's iphone 3g, my other friend's iphone 3gs, my other friend's evo OR my mom's g1. I havent tried sending an mms in a while but i do remember problems on all of my android phones.
This really shouldnt be a problem right? Isnt this a pretty basic function of a super phone?
Ive tried everything i can think of, any ides? I really like this phone and im glad to hear about the forthcoming UI overhaul, but id rather the basic functions of the phone be dependable first. Any help would be awesome, perhaps there is a simple setting i havent thought of, although im pretty sure mms has worked in the past... thank you
What service do you have, does it include MMS? Is your APN setup correctly? MMS works fine for me, both sending and receiveing on T-Mobile.
I have never had a problem sending MMS via TMo.
Are you using Hancent or the stock msg? I have discovered that you have to make sure you change the settings for it to reduce it to send max mms size is 200k or else it won't go through. Most carries allow max of 250k mms size. Hancent has default of 1M.
ok thanks for the help. im on stock, i have tmobile with mms included with my service, also i receive mms fine.
How do i change the size limit and what should the apn be? i looked in the settings in the message app but couldnt find size limit...thanks
Your best bet is to call t-mobile @ 611 from your phone. When I switched from my iPhone 2g to my nexus recently, they fixed my internet and settings account-side to work with android. Worth a shot.
The default APN is T-Mobile US epc.tmobile.com

Ok I have a T-Mobile HTC Windows phone 8x that is unlocked. When I try to get to the internet it keeps going to the address androidapi.t-mobile.com/apppack/mvno.html . I can receive MMS messages but can't send picture messages. I have the right apn settings in the phone. I have tried help on a form that they answer that they need to take this offline and sends me a private message to call and then when I called I spent an hour on the phone with a Tech support person (being nice) has me delete my apn settings and put the same ones right back in and still now internet or picture messages. Then I let that person talk me into resetting the phone to factory settings which did nothing. Then he had me put my sim card into my sons phone which is a T-Mobile Nokia 521 with Windows phone 8 and it does not work in that phone either. By the way my sons phone has the same apn settings and can get to the internet. so after all that, that person calls T-Mobile and they decide that it has to be my phone. Which it is not. The apn setting s that I have in my phone is:
apn: wap.tracfone user name and password BLANK Proxy server (url) 216.155.165.40 Proxy Port 8080 IP type IPv4v6. Is there anybody out there that can help me out with this. I do not want to bye another phone since I have only had this one since March 2013.
OK I went back on with the chat support and the guy on there (to be unnamed) tells me that he can't help me and that I have to call the toll free number Tech Support again.
PLEASE someone help me.
Thanks

I'm on my second M9. First one was warranty returned because the vibrator motor died. I had no issues then.
Since I've had the second one I was not able to receive or send MMS when I had my wifi on. I assumed it was the ROM, ICE 3.1.2. I had asked around but didn't really get any help. So I tried ViperOne 3.5.0, Now I can't send or recevie any MMS on WiFi or LTE.
What is the default APN for Tmo? I've tried using the APN on my wifes S5 but its slightly different than the M9. She has only one APN named T-Mobile US and I have 2, see screen shot.
I'm not sure what else to do at this point. Is it my rom? or the APN configured incorrectly?
