Activate MMS For 2g iPhone

June 29, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

A new package has showed up on the Ispazio repo, it is called “ActivateMMS2G”. Obiviously by the name of the package you know that iPhone 2g user’s prayers have been answered, this package once installed will activate the official Apple mms function for the iPhone 2g. Apple and AT&T had been saying that the first generation iPhone didn’t have the hardware to send mms, when all the hardware you need on a phone is a camera and a messaging app. In your face AT&T!!! Intstructions to install and use this package are below:

  1. Open cydia and find or search for “ActivateMMS2G”
  2. After you install it reboot your iPhone
  3. Now you will have the mms settings in settings>General>Network>Cellular Data Network>
  4. Enter your mms settings
  5. Reboot your iPhone
  6. Go into your sms app and you will see the camera button
  7. Enjoy MMS

Note: You have to make sure and have the right mms settings for your carrier, I posted a list of mms settings earlier this week so search for it or keep scrolling down.

    After reboot I got additional preferences in Messeges settings and I got the Camera button i sms.app, but I do not have "Cellular Data Network" in settings.. Is it because I am in a polish carrier? Does it make a difference?

  2. rufus Says:

  7. rufus Says:

  8. rufus Says:

  9. shonanthebarbarian Says:

    When I put in my apn it erases. Please help ?

  10. Wojo Says:

    Obeszłoby się bez tego ożywienia symantycznego. Really.
    Anyway, after installing, or trying to install APN Editing, I have info about errors: File not found at path AllowEDGEEditing and Object not found. Any other sollutions?

  11. le1t00 Says:

    Hmm, any other working solution for me is, downgrade to 2.2.1, reJailbreaking, setting up and upgrate to 3.0 with correct APN.

  12. Wojo Says:

    Damn. Maybe another time. ;/
    Or maybe someone will put in Cydia settings for polish carriers, like for Vodafone or T-Mobile which I've found. :)

  13. SoSly Says:

    Alright i've been looking at this and it may be a permissions error.. Im at the lake right now posting from my iphone but im still digging through it with terminal. Ill post if I find anything that will help

  14. le1t00 Says:

    Hmm look @ myapple.pl into forum and look for MMS dla 2G przeportowane or something like this :) Maybe there is any help becouse u're not alone with this awwrrr problem xd

  15. rufus Says:

    kay i figured it out…. but the prob is i have a family plan but i had bought a lx and just added on the data plan which was 20 bucks a month..but in order to make the apn to stay the celluar apn has to be the same as the mms apn…which is diffrent from my celluar apn.

  16. Wojo Says:

    OK, thanks. I'll look through myapple.

  17. Blochead21 Says:

    Nope i tried that, when i made both apn's the same, the mms one still disapeared from the setting window.

  18. le1t00 Says:

    hmm try this
    http://www.myapple.pl/iphone/106610-iphone-os-3-0...
    and this
    http://www.myapple.pl/iphone/107259-iphone-os-3-0...

  19. rufus Says:

    wait. to go on the internet i have to use hiptop.t-mobile.com and to get mms i gotta use wap.voicestream.com but if i want mms i gotta make them both the same so i cant use the internet

  20. Blochead21 Says:

    I looked at these sites and they are no help to me since I dont speak poish, and that im in the US and use tmobile.

  21. Wojo Says:

    I know nothing about programming. Colud You explain me, what does "dopisz klucz "AllowEDGEEditing" typu boolean z wartością TRUE" mean? I have no freakin' idea… :P

  22. kyle Trebitowski Says:

    Hey guys i had the same problem. What i did and has worked since was clicked reset settings then input everything again, rebooted, and it worked!

  23. Dopp Says:

    hmm i installed the activate 2G packaged, entered my APN settings but I dont see the camera icon on my sms app :(

  24. Wao Says:

    " 1. Open cydia and find or search for “ActivateMMS2G”
    2. After you install it reboot your iPhone "

    After finished these two steps, I got MMS working

    : D

  25. kevin Says:

    my iphone crashed as if it was locked but then i upgraded to the 3.0 :) , but decided not to try and download this again. lol

  26. SoSly Says:

    If your having problems with the settings saving, go to help.benm.at on your iphone and create a custom mobileconfig file – the second link with grey pic, choose your settings and then install, your phone will reboot and enjoy

  27. SRASC Says:

    same with me. I can't understand why

  28. Blochead21 Says:

    OK i finally got it to work, do you know anything about how to get the resolution better on the recieved images?

  29. SoSly Says:

    If your on tmobile, and your using an iphone, tmobiles servers don't recognize what type of phone your sending or receiving the mms from so it is auto resized which messes up the quality

  30. gbnxio Says:

    Exactly!.. the picture quality is bad when receiving a mms.. i hear that it's sized right when you send one.. hopefully there will be a fix for this soon.

  31. Wao Says:

    Got some feedback that the method would drain the bettery life quickly if your phone were not in lockscreen.

  32. le1t00 Says:

    in settings you need to setup max KB of MMS :)

  33. le1t00 Says:

    BTW APN, I have faked APN, generated by help.benm.at, disabled EDGE, and activated Push.
    My cash was 00.00 PLN before I connect to wifi and now i have – 5 PLN, by one single connect to wifi in home. By Push? Stupid addon for iPhone ;/

  47. JohnT Says:

    u have to pop ur sim card out then back in for it to work everyone

  48. Jesse Says:

    Well??? If ur apn keeps erasing. Is becuz it’s nit the same. Example. If ur on tmobile. If ur Internet is wap.voicestream.com. The mms has to b wap.voicestream.com. And make sure ur MMSC is web link. Like mmsc for tmobile is http://216.155.174.84/servlet/mms I hope that helps
