Has anyone been able to receive MMS messages on the iMATE XDA 2 through T-Mobile USA yet?
I'm able to send MMS messages, but when people send them to me they come in as SMS messages.
whats the difference between mms and sms?
SMS = Short Message Service, 160 characters max, text only
MMS = Multimedia Messaging Service, rich media content such as images, video and audio
maybe you have to active the "receive-mms"-feature on your phoneaccount to receive mms messages. Normaly the receive mms funktion is off, because not every phone can receive them
Ask you provide how to do this...

SMS runs over GSM
MMS runs over GPRS
MMS need to be switch to delivery directly to the phone by the service provider. However some service providers (mine is one as it happens) have not updated their system yet to allow both MMS and GPRS web/data services at the same time.
I'm stilling to the data services as I can still send any pictures I take via email.
i'm still waiting on the guy to reply who claims he gets unlimited gprs for $20/month from his provider in the US. Any know how who offers this?
T-Mobile offers $19.99 unlimited internet if you have a phone number with them. It's $29.99 alone without voice plan.

My tariff from O2, because it is Blackberry, does not allow MMS messages to be sent
Anyone show any light on getting this enabled as I am told by O2 that I can't.
On the Blackberry tariff, all you can send and recieve is Blackberry data. If you want MMS, you'll have to get a voice tariff added on I'm afraid. Think the cheapest one o2 do is about £15. Sorry!
Hmm
I already have voice on it, roaming and normal GPRS - but no MMS
hi all,
i have a T-Mobile MDA Vario 2 on the Flext 30 package.
PROBLEM:
my phone is set on the GSM network and not the 3G network.
each time i sent a MMS message (should be free under my flex price plan) i get charged 0.001p and 0.005p per message i send.
it logs these charges as internet usage.
all i am doing is sending an mms. i have not change any setting on the phones therfore the phone is using the default tmobile settings.
this has gone back and forth between me and T-mobile since i have got the phone and they are convinced i am using the web on my phone (not the case) to the extent i have gone to a t-mobile shop and asked the guy there to send an MMS whilst onto t-mobile CS to prove i am not accesing the web.
the problem has now been passed on to T-Mobiles GPRS supplier.
i was wondering if anyone else has seen this behaviour.
I think company treats it as a data transfer so dats y they r charging coz when u surf the web then also it is treated as the data transfer still u wld b clarified by ur network provider .
the way it normally works in the UK is that you are charged a flat rate for an MMS message regardless of connection (i belive) this charge is covered under the Flext plan hance as long as you have available credit on your Flext price plan you pay nothing for the MMS.
i am paying nothing for the actuall MMS it just seems to add 0.5pence worth of data usage each time i sent or recieve an MMS.
the data usage is timed at exactly the time i sent the MMS to 1 min later. so i assume its something to do with connecting disconecting to the T-Mobile internet when its about to send the message
Hi, I have Cingular...so it might be different, but I expect they treat MMS the same way, which is yes you will get charged for data useage.
Example to send a MMS with Cingular you go through [email protected] and anything sent through that is data useage.

Actually it is counting as a data transfer
Hey guys... a quick question. I've set up my P4350 according to T-Mo's instructions to send and receive mms. It works, but my service bars have an "E" above them, of course meaning im using edge. My question is, does this mean I'm being charged for internet also? i only have the family unlimited messages plan... ty in advance.
this is the process i used... http://tmobileuspublic.wdsglobal.co...ufacturerId=9&mobileNumber=&incomingServerId=
Not exactly
No it doesn't mean your being charged, because i have unlimited evrything and I have an E. But, usally if you get a smartphone( maybe just in New Orleans) they make you have to get the unlimited internet services. But, check your plan so you don't have to curse tmobile out and best of luck. Also ulimited messaging just means text messaging.
I have a AT&T HTC Fuze p4600 and I have the data plan shut off so I wouldn't get charged fees that I did not confirm, I use wifi basically everywhere I go and I was wondering is there a way I can get my mms messages to download. I have the unlimited messaging plan. But since I had AT&T shut there data connection off they said I would not be able to recieve any mms and when someone sends me one it asks me if I want to download but it never does...
So is it possible to fix that.
i'm on tmobile. i have 1000 minutes talk, UNLIMITED text, but NO data plan. if i send multimedia messages (MMS). do i get charged for data? people told me you either need wifi or data on in order to send mms. however, they also said that the MMS uses a different server from internet data. so if i send MMS, would i still get charged for data plan since it requires, even though i have unlimited text plan?
MMS uses data AFAIK.

yes i know, as i've said in the body of my post, i know it uses data. but people said it uses a different or protocol server from the internet data. so would i still be charged as if it was internet data? or even though it uses data, since it's different from internet data, i won't get any charges?
MMS requires data as you said. The plan you have though could specify free SMS/MMS without you having access to the internet. MMS uses a local server on the network you are on so it wont work over WIFI and it doesn't use the internet.
With that said though, it all depends on your plan. There are some prepaid carriers that offer cheap plans with NO internet but still included unlimited SMS and MMS because internet is not a requirement for MMS. Your phone obviously does need a data connection to their servers but that doesn't count.
I don't see that 1000 minute plan on the T-Mobile site but even their 500 Talk and Text plan includes MMS and it does NOT include any internet.
