Nice! Just curious.. what are your MMS settings? I can send MMS, but the person never receives the image.

The ipcc that is floating around sets the type mask to -2. This sets data, tether, mms, voicemail all to cingular.wap

Tether, MMS, Data, all seem to coöperate with cingular.wap as the APN. Voicemail does not. Editing voicemail changes the type mask to one that disables tethering, even though the carrier bundle sets voicemail to acds.voicemail.

Solution: Use a different type mask , (-3 or -4), so voicemail can be set correctly by the carrier bundle and keep MMS + tethering + data support all intact.

That ipcc completely removes your VVM setting.
 
No, 'that'/my IPCC only removes the input field for setting visual voicemail. VVM itself still works.

-- I tested it by going to *3001#12345#* , pdp context list, then 1. -- It works.

Same thing with this setting. It shows that it sent, but the person never receives it.. blah!
 
MMS and iphones

I found another SIM that I knew had MMS enabled. I put it into my iphone and i got a weird message pertaining to MMS. I didn't realize at the time it as important so I didn't memorized what it said.

But once I had that sim in my iphone after using the http://help.benm.at/help.php, i was able to send a few MMS out! I send one to a ATT and one to my sprint. I definitely received it on my Sprint phone and replied. My iphone received a MMS too...

It wasn't my SIM so I removed it, and just hoped that MMS continued to work... But nope I got the red exclamation point.

I believe ATT is already having too many activation issues, and once the get caught up, All they have to do is flip a switch and MMS will work. they are just being really lazy!

I think you're probably 100% correct. They seem to not give a **** about giving us what they should have had ready for months. Apple announced MMS in what, March 1-3rd? So at VERY least they've had over 4 months. And you can guarantee Apple told them about the MMS in at least December to January. They've had plenty of time to get it ready and on.
 
anyone can post their working MMS settings? I also have the problem where it shows it sent but no one receives it. Is MMS even working for anyone anymore?
 
mms

darn it guys... i have bad news. I put my other SIM in my iphone again. and MMS doesn't work...

Not sure what I did to get the weird message to show up... but it is not working anymore.
 
Had tethering and MMS working thru ipcc and sim swap then MMS stopped.
Restored tether but couldn't get MMS back.
Finally called ATT and convinced them to change my MSG plan.
Rebooted phone (3gs) and viola, MMS is back.
Problem is MMS won't send - I get the red ! at the last second.
Running 5.0 so not sure what to do next. Thoughts?
(I did notice on my acct MSG plan under data it says -1 -1... I wonder
if that's the way ATT disables MMS. If so then I shouldn't have been able
to get MMS option menu, I assume...)
 
Also noticed my cellular data network option has disappeared too
(settings/general/network)

reset network settings?

I can help you get this done in a matter of moments, but Im not doing it in a public forum. I tried to PM you but it doesnt seem to let me for some reason. If you can PM me with IM info or something I can get you rolling.

@teknishn I'm also having a similar issue of having my Network Data Settings disappear and would really appreciate your help.

Thanks!
 
Ok, long story short - I have tethering, no VVM. MMS I don't really care, its coming anyway free of charge.

However, I do want my voicemail. What is the definitive method, if any, to enable VVM and keep tethering?

Oh, and not sure if this is a product of this hack - but I'm getting emails twice on my iPhone now, LOL.

I had this happen only when I tried to activate tethering when the phone was on edge. It happened twice. I applied the carrier update again and those settings came back. Waited for 3G to come back and tethering worked and the settings stayed.

Once I applied the carrier update after the first time, my battery life was BAD, from 100% to 90% in less than an hour. I restored the phone and that solved the battery problem and I haven't tried to tether since.

When my VVM messes up, i call my own number, go into VM options and go to the main menu a few times, then hang up and it usually fixes it.
 
my MMS, VVM and Tethering work perfectly on 3GS with the beta 5 IPCC file.

my settings in cellular data:

Celluar Data
APN = wap.cingular
the rest blank

Visual Voicemail
APN = wap.cingular
the rest blank

MMS
APN = wap.cingular
the rest blank
 
The only .ipcc file that I could get to work with MMS is the one from http://repo.sinfuliphone.com , this is how I did it and my settings.

1. With my SIM card still in my iPhone 3GS, I added the repo to Cydia and install the "MMS & Tethering Settings" NOT the MMS & Tethering Settings for 2G"
2. Downloaded and reset the network settings.
3. Checked to see if the Cellular Data selectino was there, if not then just reboot
4. Go into Cellular data and put in this information if it isn't there already

Cellular Data
wap.cingular
blank
blank

Visual Voicemail
acds.voicemail
blank
blank

MMS
wap.cingular
blank
blank
http://mmsc.cingular.com
066.209.011.032
614400
http://wap.sonyericsson.com/UAprof/W800iR101.xml

NOTE*- Changing the VVM settings from acds.voicemail to wap.cingular WILL remove the tethering option.

After that check to see if the MMS is enabled in the Messages App and the Tethering option in the Network section. If it is then remove the SIM card, if it's not then reboot again and see if it appears.

5. Remove the SIM card from you're iPhone (3G or 3GS) and place it into another cellphone from AT&T, I used a Motorola RAZR V3. Nothing fancy just the original Razr.

6. Make some calls with it and just leave it for a minute or so on the line.

7. Log into you're AT&T online account and go to Features and change the "iPhone Texting" to the normal "Messaging". (If the phone your using doesn't appear and the iPhone is still there, go ahead and change it yourself and make another call then sign out and sign back in.)

8. After you changed the texting plan, go ahead and google "AT&T Media Net" WITH the SIM card still in the other AT&T phone, not the iPhone. A text will be sent to you're phone, just enter the verification code and thats it.

9. Now I'm now sure if this is needed but I sent a MMS from the RAZR V3 to someone else and they sent me one and it worked on the V3 just fine.

10. Reinsert the SIM card into the iPhone and it should work!

Go ahead and email me at ericksmailis@gmail.com for any questions, I have a iPhone 3GS jailbroken and I have used it on 3 different iPhone 3G's and it works great! At some point it stopped working on two of the iPhone's but the next day it was working fine, weird?

P.S.
After I got the MMS working from the sinful iPhone repo, I couldn't get the tethering option to work. I removed the ipcc file from the repo and installed the one from help.benm.at, reset the network settings, rebooted the phone and entered the settings again and now MMS AND tethering works!
 
Tethering doesn't cost AT&T a penny

Rodimus Prime said:
Oh they will and they rightful should. Tethering uses a lot more data than just the iPhone.

As for picking it up. it is not that hard when they start watching the usage or how often the data is requested. Every person they catch will make it easier for them to catch more.

People want something for nothing. As for cost the best argument I have is look to what those data cards cost to us a month. Then the tethering seems to fall more in line.

Tell me how tethering uses more data than the iPhone. Tethering allows you to send internet data from your phone to your computer via bluetooth or USB cable. AT&T is not charged aanything when you transfer data from any device to another device using bluetooth or a USB cable, and no additional data is retrieved from the internet. AT&T just wants to receive money for a service that doesn't cost them anything to provide.
