i recently cancelled my T-zones plan and ever since than i can no longer download the MMS messages i get... all i get is the message notification.. than it says the download failed...
Is a data plan required to receive mms messages? or is there another setting off that is not allowed me to receive my mms messages?
thanks.
A data connection is used to download pix and the like. I'd assume some minimal data connection would be included with an MMS package but I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't work that way. Ask tmo. We'll guess, they'll know.
I got a T-Mobile MDA with a Cingular ROM running on Cingular with the correct MMS settings. Every time I try and send an MMS, it will attempt to send it then go "Unable to send the message, message will remain in your outbox"
I have the MediaNet unlimited plan so all should be good to go... anyone?
Does it cost it money to use MMS Messaging? When I send a picture to my friends, it connects to GPRS and that E logo shows on top my reception bar.
I'm pretty sure if you have a sms package mms is included.
just went to a tmo store and they stated that there is NO charge even though it connects to GPRS when I send pic messages. The pic message just counts as a text message in my account.
i think with the tmobile proxy hack you can get around the sms charge as well and theoretically have unlimited mms for 5.99 a month
Hello, i'm new to the forums. This is my first post but i've been reserching all over and cannot find a solution to this question I have...
I've been considering buying a HTC HD2 from my friend and unlocking it to use with my AT&T sim card (the phone is currently locked to T-Mobile).
After I unlock it I am planning on installing Android 2.2 onto the HTC. My current phone is a Samsung Solstice from AT&T. I have unlimited SMS/MMS but I don't have a data plan. I was wondering once i get the HD2, unlock it, then install Android 2.2 on it, if I can disable data but I've heard if u disable data then Multimedia Messaging (MMS) doesn't work... (I cant afford a data plan and wont need to browse the web away from wifi so i'm fine without data plan.) I would REALLY like to keep MMS working fine but without using data. is there anyway i can enable MMS and not data? I would call AT&T and asked them to block all data access except MMS but i'm afraid if i tell them that i'm using a HD2 (smart phone) they'll force me to pay for data and that would not be good. can someone please help me disable/block data but continue using MMS, all help/advice is appreciated, thanks in advanced
plzzzz i would really like to know this
BUMP
As my understanding, data is use when sending and receiving mms, but you are not charged for the data because you have sms/mms plan, maybe there is limit how many kb per message, if you over that they may charge you the extra.
I'm not sure about ATT, but Tmobile if I accidently go to internet, they tell me that I don't have data plan, and ask if I want the data or something...., I just click cancel, I never been charged for the data.
I am using the HD2 on ATT, I can tell you for a fact there is no way to block data and allow MMS, MMS uses data to send picture and video msgs. Calling ATT will not help either. As long as you have not upgraded your phone thru them they cannot force you to get a data plan, if they attempt to, you can tell them you want to be put on a pay per use, if they say no, demand a supervisor explain you have a wifi and you dont want the plan, a little pushing will get you want you want.
Also ATT cannot block data and not MMS from their end either, just not possible.
Go into apn settings. If you have only one for data and mms, then edit it, and right at the end "apn type" probably says "default " or perhaps "*" or maybe "default,supl,mms "
Change that to say just "mms"
If you have two entries one will be for default,supl and will have a on off toggle, the second will be for mms and won't have a toggle. Just toggle off the data one or edit out the default in apn type.

Hi Sam, just found you on here ad wanted to say thank you so much for the Nand Android flash, its like having a new phone, I owe you a few pints. Ian, Stev's ffriend.
Hey Everyone,
My MMS messages are showing up on my ATT account as data usage, not MMS and I'm being charged the $0.01 per kb for them. Anyone know why this could be?
Thanks,
Cole
MMS is actually data Mobile operators usually have a separate APN for MMS, so they can make a difference between Internet data and MMS data. You should check what APN you have for MMS and change it accordingly
Haha, I know it is data
At the risk of being dumb, where would I find the APN for ATT's MMS?
Thanks for the help man!
holy crap.. I have t-mobile and i use the regular epc.t-mobile.com
havnt checked data usage but i never knew there was one for mms and for normal internet
No ideas, anyone?
