Question on AT&T MMS on unlocked

I have a question that I have not been able to find an answer for, I currently have a tmo touch pro 2 that is unlocked and I am using it on AT&T with a custom rom.
My question is can I send and receive picture messages on an unlocked phone through ATT that is not an ATT phone? If so how do I set it up (what are connection settings etc?). My last phone was a Nokia 5800 and I could receive mms.
I have Tom's new rom and not sure where to go to update my settings.
Thanks for any info.

newbie looking for help please

Hey folks, I just got a Touch Pro 2 for Tmobile and had it unlocked so I am using it on ATT. I cant figure out how to get mms (picts sent to me) or the settings for the internet.
also is there any disadvantage to using a unlocked tmobile phone as opposed to a att tilt 2 ?
thanks for you help in advance

You need to get ATT's settings for internet and media (mms) It probably still has the tmobile settings in it.

thanks for the reply. does anyone know how to set up the mms for ATT ?
help!

I need to do this too but as I see it the T-Mobile settings are locked in and cant be edited or added to.
I'm using a TMO TP2 on ATT also...

To answer this question the only one I've found so far is the lack of 3G, you cant get it over AT&T's network b/c of the difference in hardware.

thanks. anyone else have info on the settings?

found my answer thanks to a constant searching. I found this file which I believe was made by someone on this forum. http://www.4shared.com/file/36880113/e15673cc/shogun_cing.html?s=1 Its a cab file, I did a hard reset of my device installed it and it hooks up the internet and mms settings on its own. Thanks you who ever made this file.

Bingo! Worked for me too...

Bell issue?

I have a Rogers Lumia 900 unlocked and am using it on Bell. I have the latest updates and haven't had the data connectivity issue since the first update several months ago was sent out. Last night I lost data connectivity over the cell network and still haven't gotten it back. Wifi works fine though. Is anybody having this issue on a Lumia 900 on Bell?

Hey
Hey Brother if you are having data issues and even issues with calls going to VM sometimes outta nowhere go get your sim changed, i had the issue and i realized i was using bells 4G micro sim and i actually needed the new 4G LTE micro sim once i got all that setup the phone part of my lumia runs fantastic no data issues what so ever

Thanks for the reply. I should already have the LTE sim. I made sure I asked for that when I got my Lumia. I haven't noticed any issues with calls going to VM without ringing... just lost my data last night.

Well I seem to have fixed it. I added the proxy address of web.wireless.bell.ca port 80 to the APN settings and my data is back. That seems really strange to me that I'd have to do that since it's been working without the proxy ever since I bought my Lumia. When I got it, I tried it with and without the proxy as well as both APN's for bell... pda.bell.ca and inet.bell.ca and they all worked. O well it's working again so that's all that really matters.

Glad to hear it's working now..
Wondering if you can confirm a couple things..
Internet sharing, is it locked for you? As well is MMS or group texting working for you?

Internet sharing is locked for me... I tried a Rogers sim in my phone and it worked perfect but locked with the Bell sim. MMS it not working as the network setup app from Nokia is available. I haven't tried group texting so I can't comment on that.

Sucks.. So Im in the same boat as with my Titan 2.. no internet sharing, MMS and group text.
So the Nokia network setup app is still unavailable at this time?

Is there any speculation that it might fix the MMS situation?

I'm pretty sure there's no speculation as to whether or not it will fix it. That is the only thing holding back MMS from working as it allows us to change the MMS servers. Once that app is available again, we will have working MMS as long as you put in the correct MMS server.

Can't receive MMS from T-Mobile users.

When I get MMS from T-Mo users it shows up, but when I go to look at it the message is blank. Has happened from many T-Mo users but no other carrier.
Anyone have ideas?
I tried different roms, messaging apps, broadbands and apn settings, no work.
If you have ideas keep them coming even if I don't test....will test tomorrow....don't want to keep bothering ppl all night.

Who's your carrier, AT&T? My friend is experiencing the same issue. At least, I think it's the same. I'm on T-Mo and he never gets my MMS.
I tried putting the different APNs in his phone as well. I'm honestly not sure, either.

Wife and I are on tmo and I can't get any of the dumb ass mms that she sends me.
I take it as a blessing really.

I'm on T-Mobile but it's weird cause before I was able to send them. But until Wednesday I tried to send one and it said it failed. I rebooted the phone and cleared cache and dalvik and it still didn't work

The T-Mo users I know can send them but it just comes in as a blank 1KB MMS.....
No one has any idea here.....or can we at least get people to confirm they CAN get MMS from T-Mo users...

Mine does this sometimes. Im on sprint

Im pretty sure this is a gnex issue between tmobile and ATT, Switching my sim into a tmobile branded phone and it will send. Seems that all other providers receive my MMS though. I can receive an MMS from a Gnex on ATT to my Gnex on Tmobile. Im thinking its something to do with the user string of the Gnex and tmobile not knowing what it is.

I can send MMS to any one except people on AT&T. My best friend has an Xperia Play 4G on AT&T and my pictures just shows up as a white box. I'm using T-Mobile

I started having an mms issue on T-Mo recently. Fixed it by resetting the apn settings (the only thing that seemed to change was the ipv6 changed back to ipv4 - i believe you are supposed to have separate apns for data and mms)
Pull up the apn list, hit menu, then reset to default...

No one has any ideas about this ? I'm pretty pissed off now because I called AT&T and they basically said since it non-AT&T your screwed.......
and can we please get an AT&T user to confirm receiving MMS from T-Mo using this phone?

Not using a G.Nexus, using an HTC Sensation with a CM9 variant. Just noticed that I'm only having trouble receiving MMS from TMO friends. I'll keep an eye on this thread to see if anyone has a fix
I should probably clarify that I do receive the message if there's text in it, my phone recognizes it as an MMS but there is no picture and the size is 1kb.

It's definitely the IPv6. I switch it on and MMSs won't come or go. I switch back to IPv4 (and reboot..grrrr) and MMSs send/receive fine. I have checked and cannot find anything in the APN settings that's supposed to fix it.

You have to set up two APNs on the T-Mo phone:
Ipv6 for data
Ipv4 for MMS

I'm in the same situation. I'm using GNex on AT&T. My friend has GNex on T-Mobile. I can receive text but no picture messages from him or anyone that has T-Mobile. Let's keep this thread going to find a solution.

I've given you the solution.
The guy with the T-Mo phone needs to tweak his settings...

even tried to change the apn. I have a Skyrocket on AT&T my brothers and girlfriend have T-mobile and they send me MMS but nothing comes through.
I know other people that have AT&T and they have I-phone and get all MMS messages from T-mobile.

[Q] Cannot receive MMS from ATT phones

Hi all -
I have a strange problem. I cannot receive MMS messages from AT&T subscribers. I can get them from Sprint, Verizon and T-Mobile people but not ATT. I have Net10, running thru ATT. My APN is correct, and I get internet, and MMS from most people, but this is frustrating the heck out of me and I cannot figure this out. Seems so odd to only not get them from one carrier, which happens to be the carrier I'm on. Once upon a time, I did receive them. I was running an AOSP rom, switched to another one, and now went back to stock via Odin. Tried on the MB4 one, nope....now running MD1, still no. Has anyone ever heard of this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
