Hi folks.
I've had a search but I was unable to find an answer to my query. Hope you can help.
I have set up my GPRS settings using the info on the t-mobile website and I can browse the internet and send MMS messages without problem.
However, I am unable to receive MMS messages, whether sent by myself or another party.
I would be extremely grateful if someone could point me to resource or provide assistance to aid me with this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Even after sending an MMS you still definitely can't receive? Because some operators don't provision you for MMS until you have shown yourself to be an active user i.e. by sending one - saves on software licences. If not, just call customer services.
Hello, and thanks for the reply.
It would appear that I can now receive messages sent by myself but I have had three people (including t-mobile customer services) send test MMS but they haven't come through. Two of these three could receive messages which I sent to them.
One of these messages shows in my inbox but when I click download it just beeps and goes back to the inbox.
T-Mobile just said it might be intermittent but that was three days ago and it is still the same. I will call them back, was just wondering if someone here had maybe had the same problem and could spare me the rigmarole(sp?!) of going through the test scripts over the phone.
Thanks again,
S>
"Sir, is your device powered on?"
Let us know if you get that one... :roll:
That's what I am worried about!
When I called originally, the poor lady had no idea what these MMS settings were that I was asking for and she was really uncomfortable, obviously reading from a technical script. An out-of-date technical script too!
Hopefully they'll just put me straight through to tech support this time.
Hi! does anyone knows where I can find an applications that send a large amount of SMS preferably flash SMS (the one that appear and delete them self)? I need it because I got free SMS on T-Mobile and I have WePay on H3G so each SMS I receive I earn 2p. So if I send 500 SMS I make £10. I painfully done it manually but and it is working!!! any help? thank you
Any one knows??? I'm still looking thanks
I would be surprised if anyone here is going to help you find a way to spam SMS messages for cash.
Hi, not sure if this will help, but take a look at this.

i use to use the motorola version on my v3. It was good at spamming, not intentionally ofcourse. After sending 1 sms I left my phone attached to the computer. upon returning to the comp i found that it had sent the sms over and over and over and so forth.
to Doom Tints:
My aim it's not spamming but gain some free credit!!! what's wrong with that? I'm not breaking the law nether the network rules... please read here http://www.three.co.uk/news/h3gnews...llcid=1019745742912&cid=1137675159353&index=1
I got free messages that I never use on my T-Mobile phone. This could also be useful to others in this community too... Don't you think?

Thank you for that but I Don't like motorola phones and their applications! I have found a freeware for nokia symbian phones that would do the job... but before I buy one I would like to use my wizard or my hermes to do the job...
All of my text messages are very very important and personal to me. I carefully saved every single of them into my email and computer so I won't lost a "single" of them. That is the reason why I went for android platform because there is an application (My Backup Pro) that helps me to back up all the important texts I have with my family and my wife. The disaster struck when i upgraded my android phone to the Nexus One from the G1. The new message app in the nexus one has a "Delete old messages" option on the default which I completely acknowledged nothing about it thus I did not disable that option, so it started to delete all my messages when they reached to the certain amount number of text messages. When i noticed i was in a big shocked stage, I am extremely unhappy. I called Tmobile to see if they can send me a copy of all the contents of the texts that were deleted, they offered no help for that sort of request neither Nexus One Customer Support Department can do anything about it. To my knowledge, when a data is being "deleted", it's not really gone forever instead it is being compressed to a smaller value for saving space purpose or it's lying somewhere inside the flash memory and waiting for the new data to overwrite it. I did spend weeks of research and calling for help but I could not find any help. If any developer or anyone could help me to recover the deleted text messages in my Nexus One, I would be really happy and greatly appreciate your help. I will pay you a big reward, the reward is your choice. Anything you want. Thank you very very much for your help. My phone is not rooted yet and I haven't done the hard reset. So I guess the data is still in the flash memory, we just need to get them out.
So you went for android platform because of My Backup Pro but you didn't make any backup with it before upgrading to the N1?
Anyway.. I don't think deleted SMS messages will be recoverable... sorry
I've never seen anyone even want to accomplish this goal.. or cared about their texts in such way..
I dont know for sure, but I would assume this is something you wont be able to do.. hope you find a way I guess.
unfortunately the messages do not get saved on the sd card but rather on the phone. There does exist software that recovers lost data from Hard drives, sd cards, etc. But the messages were deleted from the phone itself and its hard to say this but you wont be able to recover it! just remember to always backup for next time and make sure you get rid of the "delete all messages" and dont forget that after a large number of text, they seem to all get deleted at once even if you dont have that option selected. it has happened to me after about 4000 texts! and not once but three times already. thats why i always backup and if i ever lose any text it will be under 100's. and also remeber to backup the backups of Backup Pro, LOL! Sd cards die as well, so you never know! so try saving a copy to your pc and by the way if your text are that imprtant then remeber that hard drives from PC'S die as well and you never know either, so backup as well and Remeber lol that you can burn it onto a cd every once in a while!
Good Luck
Yeah I hate to say you are s.o.l. with the old messages. all you can do is look how to prevent this in the future. 1. use Google voice or 2. download the sms2email app
I delete my text messages on a daily basis. I just have no use for them after I read them once. This seems important to you, so I do hope you find a way of recovering them. Good luck!
wow what kind of messages have you received that you want them back so bad?

Naughty ones.
If you have the data backed up with mybackup pro, u can inspect the files in: /sdcard/rerware/MyBackup/
Followed by whatever name u gave em. you can restore it from there too. i think they're stored in sqlite3 but, i tried restoring some data i had backed up to sqlite3 and it couldn't re-create the db cuz it was kinda encrypted.
hope that helps. maybe u could try emailing the dev of MyBackup Pro?

If you backup your msgs into email, why did you not use "SMS Backup" (by Christopher Studer) instead or a similar tool which does real-time backup? It adds your message proactively into gmail under a certain label. That is time saved for you.
Also, as others have pointed out, you can not recover your messages, unless you had an auto-backup of that saved to your SD card. In that case, even if your SD card was wiped or formatted, you could essentially perform a recovery using a disk recovery application.
Thank you very much for all the comments. I guess there is no help. I will try to call Tmobile again to see if they can send me contents of the the text messages.

T-Mobile cannot send you the contents of the text messages, they do not open up and read your texts, nor do they save that burst of data, that would be an insane amount of data to save, as well probably an illegal invasion of privacy.

Yeah, Tmobile is of no help! They cannot look at your text messages as they will be violating your rights! neither would they backup something that they have no use for!
You should really look into Google Voice or something similar in the future. That way all of your text messages are available online at all times - like email. Very, very useful.
I have been saved so many times by that service.
texts are saved i think for a certain amount of time on servers. Look at the Kwame Kilpatrick case in Detroit for example. In order to get them though you would need a search warrant to gain access to those files.
Tmobile say they would but only if the police or law enforcement involve in order for them to pull out the contents, in this case i dont know what to do. The only way get the contents back is to access to my wife iphone but the problem is her iphone also has the auto delete old sms. I did lots of researches on recovering the deleted sms on iphone and there are a few methods but im not certain because im not a tech savvy. So i have her iphone in hand and it has not been synced for months. Is there a possiblility to recover the conversations i had with her that are also had been deleted in her iphone? The reason i want get those conversations back because they involve in our large business deals. Please help.
Hey, I have PM'd you some info to help you retrieve txt msgs of an
iphone...
hope it works...
I also archive every text message. To make sure that I won't lose them, I backup them on WaveSecure (free for Android until March 31!!) and SMS Backup & Restore app. Both of them can be found on the Market. WaveSecure is an anti-theft app that also backups SMS, call logs, and files on their servers. SMS Backup & Restore (and Call Logs Backups & Restore by the same developer) saves an XML file to your SD card. You can easily email the XML to yourself.
If you were using GOOGLE VOICE on your GOOGLE Android phone there would be no issue.

WHOA!!!
hahahhaa, i lost a few also while trying different ROMs, but we don't go admitting to them! hahahaa.
I sincerely hope that the original poster, phuthanvinh, can find a solution for this with T-Mobile.
It seems pretty lame that they would offer to fix this IF law enforcement was involved.
hi guys, i wouldn't post this if it wasn't absolutely necessary.
i've tried requesting the activation key using the microsoft chat service without success. i think i must have gone through 6 representatives who have all either asked me to contact microsoft singapore or require an imei number from me before they are willing to entertain me. i have also tried contacting microsoft singapore, and they requested that i scan a receipt as proof of purchase.
it's been pretty frustrating that i haven't been able to get one for about 4 days and so i humbly request help from you kind forumers out there. if anybody could help me get a key i would be eternally grateful!
thank you in advance

Did you try the email route?
Btw 4 days is nothing. Some have been hunting an activation code for much longer.
My question is why don't you just try and give them your imei number? worse comes to worse they'll just tell you that your phone is a hd7... i mean just try don't be scare.
Try the UK

Seriously, I still dont get why people have problems with getting an activation code. I got my first one on the first try. Then when my sd card got messed up and I did a hard reset, I realised I didnt save the activation key. So I called them again and got another one, just like that. (Being in the US mighta helped though)

They're starting to catch on and ask for valid wp7 imei's or proof of purchases most of the time now, even for us in the US. I just got a second code yesterday and I had to give a HD7 imei to get it. When I called for my first code the day the port was released, I had no problem and it was easy... didn't need imei.
I am so sorry if this is not a place to post this, but I am lost and need some help bigtime! I have a Verizon S5 / 5.0. I archived voicemails from my dad a year ago, right before he passed away. I listen to his messages often as a source of comfort. I tried to listen to his messages this morning and all of my archived messages were gone! I called Verizon and of course they could do nothing. I have spent the entire day trying to figure out what happened and if there is anything I can do to recover the messages. From what I have read, archived messages are saved as .amr files, and the only way to access them is to root my s5. Does anyone know if I root, will I be able to recover these files? I appreciate any help anyone can offer. Thank you.
