Fool Proof Tutorial: Activate MMS 100% On Firmware 3.0

September 26, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

I have noticed a lot of people having trouble with mms working. I have written fool proof instructions to get your mms 100% working if you are using an iPhone 3G or a 3GS. If the following does not get your mms working I suggest you call AT&T and make sure they didn’t forget about unblocking mms on your account. Of course you can tell them a little white lie when they ask you if your on firmware 3.1.

Note: If you do the following be sure to uninstall any tethering hack you have installed on your jailbroken iphone. Whether it be the mms/tethering hack from cydia or just the downloaded mobile config files from websites. Uninstall all of them and the reset your network settings before doing the following.

The download below is the 5.5 ipcc carrier settings update AT&T pushed out today to enable mms. The file has been edited by stealthbravo over at modmyi for us users who are wanting to stay on firmware 3.0. The edited file adds the internet tethering option and cellular data network settings along with the correct mms settings. The official unedited file adds mms but you don’t get the tethering option or the ability to edit your cellular data that is why if your like me, you will use this very helpful file that adds the extra features.

After downloading the ipcc wait… You still have to do a few extra steps before using it because itunes doesn’t allow you to update your carrier settings using the ipcc file. Do the following exactly as stated: Read more…

AT&T MMS Being Activated Slowly

September 07, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

All over the web your seeing that people’s mms is working and here I am again adding on to that talk. I recently saw that some AT&T users were happily sending mms. I have never tried to get mms to work for me as I know I won’t be a big user but I decided to give it a shot just to see if I could get it to work. What I did was download this updated 5.0 ipcc file HERE, the ipcc file  is an update to your AT&T carrier file, you may check your version in the about section on your iPhone, it should say 4.0. I then tried to update my iPhones carrier settings by holding shift+update and then tried to click the ipcc file but it wouldn’t so I used THIS TUTORIAL for my mac so that I could choose the ipcc file. I ended up updating the ipcc to 5.0 and i got some extra settings in General/Network which said cellular data network. I then entered mms settings people said had worked for them and then my hopes were shot down as mms didn’t work at all. I woke up this morning and tried to send an mms which I didn’t expect to work and whadda-ya-know message sent. I checked my att account using the mywireless app from the appstore and I saw that my data plan had been changed or something so I called att and they said everything was fine and that my iphone unlimited messaging plan had been changed to regular messaging unlimited, I didn’t care to annoy them as my mms was working. End of story is that i’m positive they may be activating MMS all around the U.S. Slowly but surely.
