Title says it all, mine only work every once in a blue moon.
Its the one thing that is frustrating me with their service. It has worked MAYBE Twice.
Its the APN settings. It has to be something, no pun intended, simple in them that has to be added or taken away.

Agreed, I'm trying to figure it out
Keep me posted. I have tried everything from their website to their facebook page and even from a couple of threads here on xda. It seems that its somewhat device specific. There is no true 'setting'. I just got tired of trying different things and told everyone to email me because most everyone I know has a smartphone to do that with nowadays... still would like the option though. Knowing its busted annoys.
Maybe this will help:

What's interesting is there are no MMS Protocol option in my apn settings. I am trying these and will post results anyway, though. But my experience is always different when the variables are not the same.
Edit:
Yeah, doesn't seem to be working. Just keeps sending but never finishes. This is annoying!
I have simple mobile and its working fine on my end. Sometimes receiving will lag and i wont get a picture here and there but for the most part it works. Also i only have 1 apn set but when i had my g1 i had 2(two) like the poster above said.

I will give a donation to whomever can get this mms working fully functional, this is horrendously killing my ability to receive dirty pictures from women. Will donate via paypal if solution works.
I think I figured it out. I am broke and would love a donation but the decision is yours. We were kinda in this together.

Also default,supl,mms in the last line as well.

sorry let me rephrase, I called simple mobile, there customer service(which is horrible btw), told me to create two apn's, one for web and the other for mms, did you do that or do you have one apn?
What is the success rate of downloading your picture messages?
also, can you just post your APN settings?

Have you tried changing the authentication settings as yet?
I just have one apn. The thing I noticed when I put two in is that our phones only use one at a time. There is no switch off component. we choose which settings and thatss the one it uses. I did that with the recommendation from the user who posted the settings and had a differnt set for the mms. After doing it I saw that it was useless because of the fact that you can only use one at a time.
I have sent myself photes on a number of occasions and they have worked everytime. I have noticed that it DOES NOT work on wifi. My apn settings are the default set with the authentication set to chap. That's it! Go to the apn settings and hit menu, then hit reset to default. It takes a minute or two. After, when it gets set, go to the and set chap auth. That's it.
I have tried to upload a screen shot but all the browsers and even the xda app won't let me. But that's the subject of another thread!
Hope this helps. Let me know when you have tried it.

This may or may not be the cause, but go to:

Click 'ATT'. Scroll down to 'APN type' and make sure it says "default,supl,mms". If it doesnt, change it.

You may need to update your apn.
Google your supplier your region and apn... Eg vodafone uk apn.
Then goto settings, wireless & networks, mobile networks, access point names.. Check that what you get from google is in there.

The previous Phone apn was configre for data, creating 3 other configs to deal with tether and mmsc and nat ip. with this new apn 2 of those are combine, and now is only missing the tether apn. this is a new config for the apn.
anyone having issues with apps like gosms handling images are prob not gonna have them anymore thanks to this new config.
look inside your apns before making claims!

Quadrupled my speeds! I now have fiber optic business line speeds to my phone!!!
...Or not. This works just fine for me. I think it's pretty much the same for me speed-wise, though it does feel like the network responds a bit quicker. Can I get a "PLACEEEEEEEBOOOOOO" chorus? I'll use it and see if AT&T thinks I'm tethering or some other hot topic. I had no complaints previously, but I see no reason not to use this.

That is disappointing. Regular texts are perfect. MMS messages, whether picture or long text, do not send. I should have checked MMS earlier. Thanks!
No speed increase for me. Might actually be a bit slower. Thanks for post anyway.
both the normal "phone" and "wap.cingular" apn work fine for me, MMS, data, everything. the only time I switch is for tethering.
I just switched from VZW to T-Mo and got a Nexus 4. Everyone is working perfect, but I can't send MMS's...only receive them. I've tried in both the stock messaging app and in Go SMS.
Does anyone know if there is something that needs to be set to receive MMS's? Below are my APN settings.

My setting is the same as OP.
Note: It's strange, but my data has to be toggled on in order to send MMS. I can't send any when it's off or when I'm on wi-fi.

On my G2x, it was problematic. It was APN settings that were a little off. On my i9300, nary a problem.
I'm using the stock app and uninstalled Go SMS Pro and still can't receive any MMS's....only send.
No one has any tips or tricks?
To send the fastest way is to be on 3g/h mode. To receive you can either be on E/3G/H or wifi. Make sure u aleays have a data connection if you have "auto retrieve" on.

As stated earlier, you have to have a data connection, not just voice (as with plain text messages). That explains why you have to have it toggled on.

Hello everyone,
I just joined T-mobile last week and ported over my old phone number to it. I'm able to receive and make phone calls just fine, but I'm unable to receive SMS/MMS messages. Oddly I can send them to my friends, and they have all confirmed receiving the messages (they called/emailed me to let me know). I was told it would take 2-8 hours on average to port my number over, but up to 48 hours worst case. It's been 5 days now.
I've contacted T-Mobile about 8 times now over the phone, and each time I'm told to check my APN settings, clear my data and cache in the messaging app, reboot the phone, put it into airplane mode then out of airplane mode. Nothing is working. Upon googling, some people have said to contact their technical department and to ask for a number rebroadcast. They're not working on this, and I hope it works as I sent and received several text messages on a daily basis, both work and personal.
Has anyone ever had issues like this? I'm scared that it'll never be fixed, and I really don't want to resort to getting a new phone number just to "fix" the issue. Some people on google in the past have said a rebroadcast has fixed it for them, while others have gone weeks without resolve. All of these horror stories were from 2009 or 10, so I'm hoping now that a few years have passed, T-Mobile has their act straightened and can fix this.
Try this: open the dialer and press *#*#4636#*#*
Then phone information.
Scroll down to SMSC and hit refresh. Make sure it reads "+12063130004",145. (Including quotations) if not change it to that.
See if that helps.
P.S. you may want to write down the smsc before you change it.

It matched exactly. Not sure what to do but wait 24 hours like they said I guess. Although I've waited the past 3 days every time they've told me they were trying something new. I really do appreciate your help though. I noticed WCDMA was selected as my primary network type, is this correct?

Yep that's correct. Wcdma preferred. One more thing to check. Is your old phone still on? That can mess up SMS as well during porting.

I ported my number from a Google voice account. Friends of mine have done this a few times flawlessly, so I figured I'd port mine over too since everyone practically calls/texted me at that number. Google claims the number has been transferred completely over to T-mobile, so it's their issue if I'm not receiving SMS messages.
Hmmm. Well I'm out of ideas. Hopefully it sorts itself out Good luck!

I don't think apn settings make a difference when it comes to your plan.
What radio are you on? Look under settings/about phone/ what are the last 2 digits where it says baseband version?
I would test it out on another phone, if that does not work it's mostly something wrong on t-mobiles side. Had a similar issue but it resorted itself out after some time when porting to t-mobile.
