i changed the settings and tried the any cut app
and i still cant send mms
pls help
October 21, 2009 at 3:05 pm
Hey i think these settings have been blocked has anyone figured out a way to get mms with out a data plan. or maybe even through wifi?
December 1, 2009 at 5:07 pm
i tried these settings too and i still can’t send or receive mms
January 20, 2010 at 8:58 pm
i just rang t-mobile about this and got the answer….
start a normal text
click the menu button
click add subject
after that, it converts automatically to a mms
😉
problem sorted
enjoy
January 20, 2010 at 10:32 pm
Not only is that unlikely to even work, that doesn’t solve the problem of incoming MMS.
January 20, 2010 at 10:35 pm
for that u need ur settings from the network provider 🙂
hope that helps
January 20, 2010 at 10:40 pm
LOL, That definitely does not help. If it did help, this entire threat would be completely redundant. Hey guys, here’s how to fix MMS… get the settings from your network provider!
kthxbye!
PS – Right.
February 8, 2009 at 6:23 pm
Thanks for this tutorial. I was having problems with MMS messages as well, as I also have a G1 with T-Mobile but without a data plan. The APN settings worked perfectly for me :).
August 12, 2009 at 5:03 am
umm you used all the settings that you got from this website and it works fine?
November 17, 2009 at 7:10 pm
can u help me with my g1, i dont get pics on mms
December 7, 2009 at 3:56 pm
I went to T-Mobile.com and it says to send 2 picture messages to yourself & it will activate your picture messaging, I did as it said and my picture messages have been coming through just fine.
December 7, 2009 at 7:03 pm
How did you send 2 picture messages to yourself? I’ve tried doing this and it doesn’t work. What are your settings? What phone?
December 24, 2009 at 2:52 am
i have the t mobile g1. i dont have t zones. nor the internet plan. i just have the normal service with unlimited text messaging and such but why have unlimited when i cant recieve or send mms??? so stupid. can someone help?
December 30, 2009 at 7:35 pm
Yeah.
Don’t be a jew and splurge a little extra!
What’s the point of having a smart phone if you can’t even use what it’s made for!
December 30, 2009 at 10:08 pm
Adam,
You are a douche nozzle for even being on this thread if you think it’s Jewish to not have a data plan… like really, why the hell are you here? I have a G1 because I like the apps, which I download when I’m at a location with wireless access, which is virtually EVERYWHERE. Maybe you are a dipshit for HAVING a data plan?
dmonkey,
You are right. It’s very stupid. The unlimited text package specifically says that it includes pictures, MMS, etc. Yet when I call TMobile, they tell me that the G1 requires a data plan for pictures and MMS, so it’s kinda false advertising and yet they won’t do shit about it. Definitely lamesville. You are SOL for now like the rest of us.
February 8, 2009 at 9:23 pm
hey, do you have the apn settings for the AT&T?

February 26, 2009 at 4:21 pm
Hey I tried to use these settings with my tzone account, but whenver I try to switch to 2g only, the setting for WCDMA network gets changed back to the default GSM.
February 26, 2009 at 5:39 pm
@theg1superusers- try changing the setting to unknown. are you sure you added the tzones plan?
March 2, 2009 at 10:35 pm
I want a G1 as well but i don’t want the data plan. So let me get this straight, i can get the data plan and cancel it when i activate the phone and all functions would still work such at wi-fi, text messaging etc. correct?
thanks
March 3, 2009 at 12:58 am
you are correct.
November 9, 2009 at 5:20 am
You don’t even need a data plan to activate it.
http://inportb.com/2008/12/29/using-a-g1-without-a-data-plan/
March 5, 2009 at 9:19 pm
Hi, I just got a G1 and I canceled the data plan, but 90% of the time i make a call the screens saids “USSD code Running” and then it saids “Connection problem or invalid MMI code” and it prompts me to click ok. This didn’t happen before i canceled the data plan… any ideas would be appreciated.
March 5, 2009 at 11:15 pm
the USSD code would be if you typed in like #646# to check the minutes. when you place a regular call, its not a USSD code.
March 6, 2009 at 1:35 am
I was trying to call my voicemail, and your right regular calls worked just fine, thanks! If i call my voicemail using the 800 number it doesn’t encounter that error message so ill just do that. By any chance do you know how to use a different message tone other then the lame choices they gave us? I have a short mp3 file (3 seconds long) that i want to use as my notification (text) ringtone, I used to have a t mobile dash and it was just a matter of putting the file in the right folder with that phone… not so easy with the G1, sorry for deviating from the thread
March 6, 2009 at 5:00 am
steve, once you’ve downloaded the mp3 to your phone, you would hold your finger on the file and click on “use as ringtone”. alternatively, you can download the rings extended app from the market.
March 6, 2009 at 5:31 am
That’s how you set Phone ringtones, but I’m trying to use a differant Notification Ringtone, you know the tone you get when you get a text and other stuff. Any idea on how to use your own instead of the 14 generic choices they give you?
January 31, 2010 at 2:50 am
Steve,
Theirs a app that you can download from the market called “Ringdriod”
its should help,you have all your music and you can click on it and make it as long as you want the music to be and you click the save button/icon when your done and it should pop up a little box and in the box should say the song in one little box and a box that says ringtone pull down that little box and it should pop up music,alarm,notification,and ringtone. pick notification if you want that song for your message and then pick “yes please make default” and after that go to your message where it shows all threads and pick setting go all the way to select ringtone and you should find your song that you want and click that and after that put ok and then your done!
HOPE THIS HELPS ALOT!!!! (:
March 6, 2009 at 5:58 am
you need the rings extended app for that. i don’t know if you can do it manually. haven’t looked into that.
March 6, 2009 at 6:31 pm
Hey it does work when I set it for unknown but somehow the settings wont stick. it will still go back to gsm. Do you know anyway to keep the unknown setting permannet?
April 6, 2009 at 2:51 am
Ur a life saver, and a genius!!!!! Thanx alot…anymore hacks ill be sure to check with you!!!
April 7, 2009 at 10:18 pm
Settings work great with 2g (GSM only). I haven’t had any luck with 3g (WCMDA).
Have you figured out a way to make google maps work with the WAP connection?
April 19, 2009 at 2:47 am
yes, my google maps works.
April 11, 2009 at 3:29 pm

Thanks for this…My picture messaging was working after I did this now all of a sudden it stopped…I tried to reneter the information in and did all the trouble shooting…
I dont know what went wrong? Do you have any suggestions? Anyone else having these problems?
Thanks
April 19, 2009 at 2:46 am
try to clear all the settings or reformat.
May 16, 2009 at 10:45 pm
I reformatted (which was a hassle because i didnt have the data plan) but it still isnt working…..
I have been reading more into the issue, and Im wondering if my version of the phone (i have the white one) has some kind of software locks in place. I have heard of others suddenly stop working but not all….I dont know which version of the phone they have but that is all i can think…..
Any suggestions?
Thanks alot for taking the time to reply, i really appreciate it.
April 18, 2009 at 11:34 am
hey guys, i tried all the settings and changed them all. but how do i get tmobile to add the tzones on my G1??? what do i sayyy???
April 19, 2009 at 2:45 am
tell them you want the 9.99 internet and don’t tell them you have a g1. say you have something like a motorola RAZR.
April 19, 2009 at 8:59 am
I just recently bought a G1 to use with my flexpay T-Mobile account. Just a phone plan with 400 texts thrown on it. No T-Zones plan or anything like that. Picture messaging isn’t working, as has been said. Are you saying is all I have to do is plug in the info above and follow the steps and it should then allow me to send mms? No t-zones plan required? orry for the noob questions, but it’s all new to me. Thanks in advance.
April 19, 2009 at 7:58 pm
yes, should work.
April 20, 2009 at 12:36 am
Another quick noob question before I give it a go, and thanks for the quick response. With me havng flexpay and therefore can only use what I already paid for, whenever I move too far away from a WiFi hotspot, lose my WiFi, and the icon converts to 3G, am I actually getting 3G since I haven’t paid for it? And if I am, will I be somehow charged later? Again, thanks in advance.
April 22, 2009 at 9:13 pm
hey i tried all the settings and everything with downloading the any cut and messing with the settings and everything and restarting my phone afterwards like a 100 times but it doesn’t seem to work..it worked when i put the APN thing in before but now it doesn’t work all of a sudden..please help…and if i do a reset and start the phone again without the data plan im gona have to log in wont I? and if i do it’s not going to let me because i canceled the data plan…please helppp!
April 22, 2009 at 9:29 pm
u must be doing something wrong. you can reset the phone and follow the directions in one of my posts to sign in without a data plan.
April 22, 2009 at 9:33 pm
where is that? and are you sure that will work cuz i dont wna get stuck and not be able to sign in after i do a reset..?

April 23, 2009 at 10:59 am
Dipen412, if you go about reseting the phone and trying again, can you post wether it works or not because the settings aren’t working for me either. I can get the text of the message, but I can’t download the image. I just bought my phone off a friend,so it was already activated and didn’t have to go through the data plan hassle. I have a text package so it’s weird that it doesn’t work.
April 23, 2009 at 2:52 pm
yea samething happens to me…i click download when i get the picture text but it says unable to download or w/e and it won’t let me send pictures either..and yea i kind of dont get the whole reset thing that hydtech posted..but i’ll try it as best as i can and tell you.
April 23, 2009 at 3:08 pm
if you dont understand the activation without a data plan, just order the data plan for 1 day and cancel it after you get activated again. It’ll cost you less than a dollar.
April 23, 2009 at 8:28 pm
If I have to go a similar route and reset then order the data plan for a day, can you do that on a flex pay account?
April 24, 2009 at 4:10 am
hmm.. dunno. you can ask cust service and please let us know.
April 24, 2009 at 12:40 am
Hi. I have tried your suggestion above, I am still not able to get the mms. I did the factory restore but still I am having issues. Please help.
Thank you.
April 24, 2009 at 4:12 am
all i can say is that it works for everyone else, except for very few people. keep trying. make sure you can receive mms on another phone.
July 8, 2009 at 12:12 am
my text messaging is working but cant send/receive picture msgs
April 24, 2009 at 7:49 am
it might be FlexPayers who can’t access mms without the data plan, I know that we don’t get call forwarding either so we cant get the Visual Voice mail programs out there on the market I’m also on Flexpay and tried all the settings and still wont work it fails every time I try to download an mms.
April 24, 2009 at 2:55 pm
yup, that seems to be the problem. thanks for the input
April 24, 2009 at 8:40 pm
Hi Guys,
Sorry to keep bothering. I am not on FlexPay. I have had my G1 since March. It use to work with APN changes until 2 weeks ago. After it stooped working, I did a factory restore to clear my phone and change the APN again – still does not work. Please Help.
Thank you.
Manny
April 24, 2009 at 9:19 pm
mine started doing some weird things today. It said my data plan is not compatible with the g1, so i called in and added the 24.99 plan. I’ll cancel it and re-add the 9.99 and see if it works monday.
April 25, 2009 at 4:33 am
So it’s the flexpay that’s not letting me send & receive mms. That’s a shame, especially since I was able to using the same sim card on the Wing. Since mms is no longer an option, any word when bluetoothing images will be added?
April 25, 2009 at 8:08 pm
you got MMS with the flexpay on your wing? do you recall the MMS settings or the APN settings?
April 25, 2009 at 6:41 pm
hey! sorry to bouther u guyz. i was using the settings above and it was working fine with mms. but suddenly it is not working now. i guess something is worng. plz let us know who’s is working and what is the new settings if there is any. thanx
April 25, 2009 at 8:18 pm
I checked through phone info that my data was connected to T-Mobile US using the settings above, but the MMS still does not work. The download button appears in a message and then when u click it, it says message was downloaded unsuccessfully. You cannot even forward it to an e-mail or any other number. Sending a picture message to myself works and I’m able to forward it to e-mail or another number, but when others send it it to me, it does not.
April 25, 2009 at 9:34 pm
i deleted all APNs when i got the phone. How do i change the setting to Tmobile US?
i also dl anycut and followed the troubleshooting instructions but do not see any type of connection in phone information.
please help D:
April 26, 2009 at 5:37 am
you have to add Tmobile US. to find connection info you have to go into testing.
April 26, 2009 at 5:23 am
HydTech, yeah I was getting mms fine with my wing, and I’ve only ever had a FlexPay account with T-Mobile. Unfortunately, I Don’t know the MMS or APN settings for it, but I do still have my Wing so if you can tell me how to reach that info, I’ll no doubt look it up and let you know what it says.
April 26, 2009 at 5:39 am
hey, did you try putting ur sim in a friends phone and see if you get mms?
April 26, 2009 at 5:47 am
When I first got my G1, i put a friend’s sim in (She has a regular phone plan, but it’s not FlexPay) and sent her a picture message from my Wing with my FlexPay account and it showed up fine, no issues. When we tried to do the reverse, her sending it to me with my SIM in the g1, that’s when I run into the issues I’ve been having. I can’t download the actual image. All I get is the text. Do you know how I get those setting from my Wing?
April 28, 2009 at 6:27 pm
I tried changing the T-mobile US settings and my mms messaging is still not working ..help please
May 6, 2009 at 5:39 am
not working anymore dont know what happened
May 6, 2009 at 4:46 pm
tmobile is getting trickier
May 6, 2009 at 5:58 pm
how so becuase mms stil doesnt work for me and its been 1 month everyday trying to get ti to work
May 8, 2009 at 1:55 am
this fu**ed me up i cant even send anythin
May 8, 2009 at 10:12 am
I checked the settings on my Wing and I noticed that it was using the APN was T-Mobile MMS. Do you think if you create that APn on our phones, will it work?
May 8, 2009 at 5:32 pm
maybe post it ill try it
May 10, 2009 at 1:53 am
mine recently stopped working too
May 13, 2009 at 8:22 am
I have read ALL of the comments and the post on here and i was just wondering if u could help me out also…i just got the g1 i had a dash before that and my plan was a 5fav but with unlimted MMS/SMS. Now my problem is that i dont have internet plan i just used wifi when i need it at home,school, or work when i need it. at first i try getting messages it would say download unsucessful…then i tried ur APN method when i get to Phone info part it says my
current network: T-Mobile
i know u said T-mobile US in the steps but i dont know how to change that so i think that might be a big problem for me. Or is it because i dont have internet plan? Or where i live is a problem?
Also little things i look at that i think are involved with the troubleshooting…
GPRS service:Disconnected
Newtork type: EDGE
GSM disconnects: State: inactive fail because unknown data error
But a couple of times i did this it was saying GPRS Connecting and setting up and connecting to the T-Mobile US, wap.voicestream.com,-8080,* i think it might be the * at the wnd could be something and it only does this sometimes when i put it to only 2g networks
So can you help or give any tips?
May 13, 2009 at 3:00 pm
How do I use this with my iPhone?
iphonehelp@flyblackbox.com
May 19, 2009 at 6:27 pm
I second the notion that this doesn’t work anymore. I can receive MMS messages but I can’t actually download them. I have triple verified all the settings and have restarted a few times, but still can’t download messages.
According to testing:
Current network: T-Mobile
GSM Service: In service
GPRS service: Disconnected
GSM Disconnects: =====Data==== State, Inactive. disconnected with last try at blah blah, fail because no error
May 21, 2009 at 1:53 am

May 21, 2009 at 1:54 am

PS – I tried what was suggested earlier: Using epc.tmobile.com … no good.
May 28, 2009 at 7:00 am
found on the tmobile forums that tmobile disabled mms for nondata plan users. its a ploy to get into more peoples pockets, to have them purchase a data plan for mms even if you already pay for text messages.
May 31, 2009 at 3:49 pm
After changing all that my mms still not working… my connection says t-mobile how would I get it to t-mobile US. I still can’t reseve or send any mms. Can someone help me out. This is really bugging me.
May 31, 2009 at 10:45 pm
work like a charm .. and now i can use my 9.99 internet plan

mine isnt worken idk wats wrong with it can any one help me plz plz plz plz plz
June 10, 2009 at 12:00 am
yeah i have a g1, 5.99 tzones, i can only use wifi for internet and marketplace stuff like that , i have tried all the hacks but have been un able to get the mms to work for me
June 11, 2009 at 4:17 am
u can use wifi, but i doubt your tzones hack still works. I recently tried the Tzones hack in an iphone and it worked but as soon as I put my sim back into the G1, it gives me a subscription upgrade required error.
June 10, 2009 at 12:03 am
by the way all works for the iphone,pretty much same setup and all,
, I have tried also the send yourself a pic from mytmobile site-didnt work, just thought id mention it too, found it on a forum, and also was the instruction on the t mob web site saying one pic sets it up send a second to verify and your good, but it’s a crap shoot—-anything ever come of the person who took in there G TO A LOCAL DEALER AND GOT A NEW SIM?, the dealer told him there were some funky sims distributed and gave him a new one and it worked- any one verify this?
June 11, 2009 at 9:37 pm
For all you guys getting the “upgrade your…etc.” on the tzones hack. Go to the apn and change from wap.voicestream.com to internet2.voicestream.com. this should do the trick.

June 13, 2009 at 3:06 am
how can i use my t mobile phone with other sim plans… still locked.
im in asia..
June 15, 2009 at 3:46 am
get it unlocked
June 16, 2009 at 1:01 am
Im sure, It works. Oh but i forgot to say. i use the steel browser and have it set as “desktop” instead of “android” or “iphone” under the menu. The market works fine. the android browser will let you google. but anything else it says access denied, something about a converse. Yahoo web browser works good too.
June 18, 2009 at 7:36 pm
this is f*ckin gayy…no one has any idea of how to make it work.

I bought g1 and had T-mobile sim card. What can I do to make my sim card work on G1?
June 25, 2009 at 11:42 pm
Thanx for the vid Daniel. When I changed the settings everything did work (Steel Browser, Market Place, Gmail…) But it only worked for a couple of mins and then it started giving me the same msg to upgrade the data plan. What do you think is the problem? I have the $5.99 T-Zones. You think there’s a difference between the $5.99 and $9.99 plan?
June 26, 2009 at 8:38 pm
are you using wap.voicestream.com or internet2.voicestream.com?
June 26, 2009 at 11:02 pm
internet2.voicestream.com
Can anyone download mms?
June 27, 2009 at 8:54 pm
Hmmm. I know that t-zones was used on wap.voicestream.com. And once they shut the g1 off of wap.voicestream.com i switched to internet2.voicestream.com and got back up and running. Maybe there is a difference. Just yesterday (6/26/09) i set up a friends g1 to run the 9.99 plan and it worked just fine. Give it a shot.

June 30, 2009 at 7:54 am
Anyone get mms working yet?
July 6, 2009 at 2:24 pm
Alright so here’s the deal. Tmobile found out a bazillion people were using this hack. So all they had to do was shut this server down and there would be no more. And they did. They fixed all our hacks… All of them. Well. Good thing I have a backup phone to receive mms ^-^. Good luck. N I hope new hacks come soon…

ok i switch my notification ringtone just fine but i wanna change it to something different but it is not changing can someone help
July 21, 2009 at 7:15 pm
This actually worked perfect for me. I changed the settings the exact way you said to, went back to 2 mms i recieved, pressed download and it worked. I told 2 of my friends to send another one, and it appeared without the ‘download’ button. thanx

August 5, 2009 at 5:28 pm
Get a sim card from any one of those companys that has 3g service.
Wait is it unlocked?
August 2, 2009 at 7:58 pm
So if i want to do all this i have to buy the plan first?
August 3, 2009 at 3:27 am
I did what you said and its still saying it was unsucessful downloading it.
August 9, 2009 at 3:58 pm
i have tried a 3.5g SIM with the phone and it still gave the message “my sim card may not b provisioned for data services after loggin on to google”.What do you think might be wrong or could it be that it’s locked or what?Thanks for your earlier posts!!!!
August 9, 2009 at 6:55 pm
Is there any news on the MMS situation? I have been missing out on a lot of things because T-Mobile wants to try and squeeze out every penny.
Please let me know if there are any work arounds or thoughts!
August 9, 2009 at 8:29 pm
I too am curious about the situation on the MMS. I love how this topic turned into a “how to get a G-1 working on an African SIM card” thread. I imagine there is a much better place to vent those questions. Meanwhile, us T-Mobile customers paying for unlimited texts are getting hosed. I get a picture message every other day that I can’t download… talk about lame.
Let’s get this topic back on point… Has anyone heard / figured out anything about MMS without a data plan?
August 9, 2009 at 10:38 pm
sorry guys, I haven’t been keeping up with this topic. Honestly, I don’t ever receive MMS. And If its that important, you can add on the $25 package once every few days, download all your mms the same day and take it off.
August 14, 2009 at 1:56 am
yo wad up brother?! i tried this on the new phone G2 aka my touch but it doesnt work i guess! you think you could help me out! tHankS
August 30, 2009 at 8:35 am

September 1, 2009 at 3:55 am
Can someone help me?!!
All my settings worked perfectly without a data plan
But after I got the cupcake update my MMS messages won’t work.
September 1, 2009 at 4:45 pm
I had to fix my new blackberry the other day cause i couldnt send or recieve mms . tech support had me go through a bunch of steps to get me off edge and onto EDGE. that’s right from lower case edge to upper case EDGE. it worked and now the blackberry can send and recieve mms without data package. i asked them to do the same for one of my G1’s that does not have the data package. they chuckled and said they can’t do it. sorry you have to buy the data package to use mms on G1. i am still waiting for someone to crack this.
September 1, 2009 at 7:54 pm
do you remember the steps?
September 1, 2009 at 8:03 pm
hi,

September 4, 2009 at 9:19 pm

September 17, 2009 at 5:59 am
do I need the tzones thing?
September 20, 2009 at 7:19 am
Yo got an AT&T Tilt, but have T-Mobile so used an online unlocking service through ebay. Cost me just $4 to get the unlock code. After I unlocked it, I got on the T-mobile network. I still have the $5.99 t-zones so I used epc.tmobile.com as the APN: Homescreen -> Settings -> Connections -> Add a new modem connection -> name for the connection “TZones” -> Select a Modem -> Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G) -> Access Point Name: epc.tmobile.com -> no un/pw/domain – Finish. This has been working great for me except after a week, it stopped working. I removed the modem link, went to t-mobile – my phone -> and set my “Unknown phone” to a Razr. Then waited a little while again and now my AT&T Tilt and epc.tmobile.com is working great. Skyfire even works well now which it didn’t with this method on my old Shadow. Still MMS doesn’t work and haven’t found a fix for that yet.
September 21, 2009 at 8:27 pm
So is the tzones data plan still working with the g1? With flexpay?
September 21, 2009 at 8:29 pm
Also, hydtech, what made you stop using it?
September 21, 2009 at 9:48 pm
i don’t think this has been working for a while on the G1. Some still claim it works tho.
September 22, 2009 at 3:10 am
k thx
September 29, 2009 at 11:02 pm
hey im still having the problem even when i did wat u said, i did that nd now it tells me it was unable 2 even quicker then normal plz email me or post on this wat 2 do asap or email me at erinehold92@gmail.com
October 9, 2009 at 1:05 am
it doesn’t work still
October 11, 2009 at 6:27 pm
nope, i called customer support nd they said the only possible way to send nd receive pic messages is to hav a data plan
October 14, 2009 at 3:52 am
i kinda learned not to listen to tech support ever since they insisted that a g1 without data plan would be useless….
October 26, 2009 at 7:27 pm
can any1 help me on this, i cant figure this problem out
November 1, 2009 at 4:02 am
Google owns this phone. That’s the problem. it’s a piece of shit technology without MMS. Why should an MMS service from tmobile not work on a phone you bought from tmobile? So you’re may likely tell people to send it again to your email. guess what the default email service (“which is required to activate the phone”) is?
November 9, 2009 at 5:42 am
Does this work for anyone? I tried it and it didn’t work, but MMS works fine on my HTC Wizard and SGH-T209 with the same SIM card. One complication might be “provisioning”.
“You must first send a picture message from your phone before your phone will be able to receive picture messages.”
“Users must use an MMS capable device and be provisioned within the Multimedia Messaging System Center (MMSC) to send/originate MMS messages. Users become self provisioned when an MMS message is originated and sent from the user’s terminal. By sending an MMS message, T-Mobile auto-provisions users for both mobile originating and mobile terminating MMS messages.”
“What if I have a phone that T-Mobile does not sell, can I still send and receive picture messages?
Yes. If you have purchased a phone that is not T-Mobile branded, it is possible that the phone does not have the settings required to send picture messages over the T-Mobile network. To set up your phone for use with T-Mobile’s picture messaging service, go to Camera phone MMS settings.”
I tried to talk to customer support chat and they just lie:
_: I see that you are interested in using your G1 for picture messaging.
_: I know how important it is to have your features working properly. I’ll be more than happy to assist you with that.
_: It will be one moment while I look into the account.
_: The G1 actually is configured for picture messaging but cannot do so without the G1 data feature.
_: Unfortunately the G1 data feature cannot be added onto a prepaid account.
I plan to keep bothering them.
November 10, 2009 at 5:25 am
If you call it an “HTC Dream” they don’t immediately tell you that it won’t work. 🙂
_: One you can choose something [from https://www.configuremyphone.com/mms%5D that is close and that might work.
_: Or two, if you want to make sure you have the right settings for the unsupported device, call 800-937-8997 and ask to speak to the unsupported department.
_: That is the only thing that you can do. T-Mobile cannot guarantee a non-Tmobile device will work.
(But it *is* a T-Mobile device, silly.)

MMS works fine on my Wizard, but not on my Dream. The Wizard’s settings are different. Is there a way to adapt them to the Dream?

After not working at all for months, I have recently been receiving MMS messages on my G1 with prepaid plan and no data plan. Maybe T-Mobile changed something?

Hmm, I can receive too, no data plan. I’m on a family messaging plan that *should* give me unlimited mms, but i can only receive from my G1. I can send via e-mail, but that’s only when I’m on Wi-Fi, and that’s a pain anyways.
January 4, 2011 at 5:44 pm
I’m trying to unlock my G1 , however I’m not being asked or promted to enter the unlock code. Why is this? Can u assisst me ASAP?
