T mobile iPhone can't receive pictures!

[JsRuca]

So I have an unlocked t-mobile iPhone 3G, IOS 4.0.2. I can send pictures, but can't receive them, I get the message "the media content was not included due to a picture resolution or message size restriction". I've read so many forums about how to fix this but they're not working! Any help?? Thanks!!! <3

Its a major pain to get that right and working on Tmobile.
And few are successful getting it to work.

That was not helpful...

Sorry, just being honest.
I was trying to get it to work on my brothers 3GS for Tmobile and I gave up.

Have you tried installing a T-Mobile US carrier bundle? On iOS 3.0, the easiest way to get MMS working was to install the right carrier bundle. I'm not sure if 4.x works the same way, but it may be something to investigate.

Good luck! If you do find a solution, be sure to post it here so others can find it later.

Perhaps you can try asking the sender to upload to gmail and send over as an email while you open email and open the image.

Takes longer but it should work.

I'm on iPhone 4 and I did the following and works without a hic-ups;

SSH into your phone and Navigate to /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mms_override.plist on your iPhone and edit the file by pasting whats below.

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC “-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN” “http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd”>
<plist version=”1.0″>

<key>MMS</key>

</plist>

That allowed me to receive the messages so I still had to toil around and I found success with the following settings.
