I know MMS for ATT isn't available till late summer - but shouldn't there atleast be a MMS Icon in the messaging app?

I was also wondering this.. I have a genuine unlocked 3g and I'm using a vodafone uk sim.. I've entered the coda mms settings but cannot see how to send an mms ?!? Am I missing something obvious??

Thanks

The MMS is done via the Message Icon which used to be the text icon.

Well would you believe it. After inputting mms settings you have to reboot the phone for the options to appear!!!!

Thanks all

So here's the skinny: I'm trying to work around ATT and the MMS debacle. I did do the tethering hack, so my phone now says carrier: ATT 5.0
I did call ATT and ask that they "activate" my MMS, they said they talked to tech support and that I was turned on.

I can see the cellular network option, I am still wondering if I need to fill in the values http://www.geocities.com/aseely91/photo.jpg

Any help would be appreciated.

zippster - what MMS settings have you inputted into this section?

I have a officially unlocked 3G running 3.0, but I can't get my Voda UK to work. I can see all the icons etc, but I can't receive any messages so I guess I have the wrong settings. :confused:

Ditto - I've tried my old SwirlyMMS settings (which worked on 2.x), and various other combinations. But no luck. :(

I see sombody has posted the same problem on the Voda UK support forums. I'll keep an eye on that and I'll also give Voda a bell tommorow. I'll let you know if I get anywhere.

Cheers

Bingo - I think I've got it working (the test MMS' I asked a friend to send me at various points of the night have started arriving!):

Don't forget to add your phone number to your phone's settings, it must also be in the +44 format with the first zero dropped. settings>phone>my number

You have to use the Terminal command before it will be available (no longer grayed out).

Terminal Command:
