MMS issues without Data Plan

Since my last thread was unceremoniously closed here's a new one with another focus.
-Are you using a G1 without a data plan?
-AND have you used T-Mobile's APN settings to set up MMS?
-AND have you recently had problems with not being able to send or receive MMS messages?
And before you post it, this is my wife's G1 I'm talking about. I have a G1 with a data plan. She has NO use for a data plan, but she loves to send MMS messages. Don't tell me to get a data plan, I know it would be a viable solution but I'm not going to do it. I'm mainly wondering if anyone else has been having the same issue recently and if anyone has been able to resolve this issue. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know how it's handled by TMO but in CH the providers have 2 APN setting (sometimes more) and one is for internet and the other is specifically for MMS and is not affecting the normal data usage (you pay per mms no mather if its 1 byte sized or the maximum sized)

MMS proble
im having the same problem i do not have a data plan and i wont get a data plan" i was using the Smartphone settings to receive and sent mms but now i cant send mms looks like T-mobile has change something on the setting

They have blocked you from using that APN switch back to the regular one or pay for the data plan (don't be surprised if it doesn't work until you do pay for the data plan.)

i have the same problem

MMS Problem
yea i know they block because the G1 is always ceiving and sending data and i think T-mobile notice and they block it or maybe too many user are using this settings with G1 and T-zones hacks.. thanks

Android - HTC Dream/Magic - Fido APN/MMS Settings

Hello all,
I thought that it would be good to share this with the rest of the world.
I'm using the HTC Magic on fido, and for the longest time I had trouble finding working fido MMS APN settings. Most of what I could find via a google search referenced just setting up one APN, quoted various proxies, server addresses - let's just say a lot of contradicting information.
Finally - I did a quick search about the APN Type (the last field in the APN setup screen). I solved my MMS worries by setting up two APNs with different types.
So without further delay, here's the good stuff.
APN1 [this one will have the radio button beside it]
Name: fido internet
APN: internet.fido.ca
Username: fido
Password: fido
APN Type: default
(all other fields blank)
APN2 [this one will not have any radio button beside it]
Name: fido mms
APN: mms.fido.ca
MMSC: http://mms.fido.ca
MMS Proxy: 205.151.011.013
APN Type: mms
(all other fields blank)
Hope this helps!
(Sorry if someone already posted this.)

thanks i needed this

PERFECT! I had the internet settings but not mms. other sites are giving incorrect mms settings for Fido, But U R DA MAN!

Data plan blocked?
Is it possible Fido applied the data plan shutdown to unlocked phone owners too? See article “Rogers Canada forces Android update that takes away root access” on boingboing.net.
I had good 3G bandwidth in the morning and no more connection in the afternoon. Still offline
Anyone else experiencing the same troubles?
They might have changed the APN credentials...

I recently got my sister's Rogers Dream ... NOT unlocked or anything...and i have the old sim from about 5 years ago....(don't know if that is the reason)
but these FIDO APN settings are not working for me!

Hey do you still have this problem? Because I do and I'd like to fix it. Do you think that Rogers ban extends to Fido customers as well (since they use the same network)?

This may help you to solve the problem.
Figured it out today thanks to all the other information here.
Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Acces Point Names
Create a new one for each:
Internet

APN: internet.fido.ca

Username: fido
Password: fido
MCC: 302

MMS
Name: Fido MMS
APN: mms.fido.ca
MMSC: htp://mms.fido.ca
MMS Proxy: 205.151.11.13
MMS Port: 8080 (still needs to be confirmed, I didn't want to test too much without unlimited MMS)
Username: fido
Password: fido
MCC: 302
MCN: 370
APN Type: mms
So far it works!

These settings worked awesome for me. I have a Rogers Samsung Galaxy S Captivate. I unlocked it to use on Fido's network. At first, my voice worked fine, but no data. These APN settings now have my data working. Thank you so much for posting this!

I'm using these settings on an unlocked Atrix and no luck at all. How long does it usually take for these settings to work?

Ive never been able use MMS with any Android build, although setting up data is easy.
I think its because the data+MMS setting are mixid in the same netowork config.
If anyone knows the mixed setting for O2 prepay in UK id be very greatfull, ta.
Oh, when creating MMS the pic is now downsized to <50kb so thats ok.
I presume its best to send yourself a pic message?

or you should try this build. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=820696

Can't send/receive picture messages on unlocked G2

I've been using my unlocked g2 for several weeks now and still have been unable to send or receive mms messages. This morning, I tried downloading a picture message about 20 times, all the while driving through supposed 5 bar coverage and it failed everytime. Someone help please...

What carrier do you have it unlocked for? You have to change mms setting according to carrier.

So you are saying your MMSC, MMC and MNC settings are empty?
edit --
If they are, try these
(ALL under MMSC
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy: 066.209.011.032
MMS Port: 80
and make sure the very bottom setting APN TYPE has mms in it (mine says default,supl,mms)

im having sorta like the same problem except i cant send picture or multimedia messages thru text as an attachment ive went thru all the apn setups for tmobile tho bc thats my service provider im currently running the most recent virtuos rom in which i jus did a restore back to an earlier time when i was almost positive they worked i have no idea what to do any help would be very appreciated ive been messin with this for atleast 15hrs

Solution for MMS sending difficulties anyone?

Wheel just keeps a spinnin and spinnin!
Wonder if it has to do with apn settings? They do indicate mms and Internet on the bottom setting.
Any suggestions appreciated? Who wants to be able to create these cool notes and not be able to send??

whats your plan, per or post pay, and what apn settings did you use, there are a lot of threads which address this.

I have a GoPhone $50 unltd.with apns suggested for this.
I DID walk in to att with my Note, and said cust service suggested I ask for a new sim cars and got a 4G card (vs the designated GoPhone) one, and that's when the problems started now that I think about it.
So my apn needs might have changed.
Ill have to play around with them.

Network speeds are way better...just no MMS.

definitely do not disclose to att that you have a smartphone.
I have the 50/month unlimited voice/text/web/data gophone att plan and my speeds are very good. i cant compare to network speed but im coming from tmous3g and it is close.
i registered the sim card in an older nokia e72, then once it worked fully, i swapped it into my gnote. not sure if att will catch the data usage and ding me for the overage as if it were a smartphone, but until that happens this is a brilliant workaround.

Question: I have the same APN settings as you just posted on my SGS 2, just curious what average speeds are you getting on G Note? I am getting about 3 mgps downld, 1.1 upload.
I tried to change the apn to different settings and no speed difference. Is this setting faster on G nOte?
Thank you

4g apn
there is another thread that list an APN just for the 4g sim from att. search for that thread.

You got off topic
The question was about MMS not working on the Note, not about your plans. Please stick to the topic in order to help this person

I was having issues with my mms as well. I tried multiple apn settings but nothing. What finally fixed it was inputting the apn settings below in the go SMS application itself. And using those apn settings on the phone. My speeds are not as good as a couple of the other apns but I now have working mms and fully functional phone. I pulled the apn settings off of my infuse.

I'm also on AT&T and for some reason my APN has changed a couple of times on it's own. . In fact it just happened earlier today and I had the exact same problem as you. For some reason the MMS port was blank so I changed that back to 80. Also there was info in the username and password and I deleted both out. It worked again right after I made those changes.
I can give you the rest of my settings if those changes don't work for you. I'm using the settings that have been posted for AT&T unlimited data.

I copied the settings out of my brothers cappy, and finally got MMS working. Settings in the other thread weren't working for me. Im getting 3-7Mbs down and a MB up. Im post paid, with a 4G sim and so called "unlimited data".
