Simple Mobile iPhone MMS Settings For iOS 5
These are the settings you need to get MMS working on your iPhone running iOS 5.0 and above. This includes iOS 5.1.1 and iOS 6.0. There are 2 ways to get MMS working on your Simple Mobile iPhone. The first requires you to jailbreak. This is the easiest way. If you have a factory unlocked iPhone, you can use the iBackupbot method below to get mms working without a jailbreak.
If you are on the $25 15 Day Talk & Text plan, you cannot use MMS as a data plan is required. When your current plan expires, upgrade your plan to one that includes data so you may take advantage of the MMS feature.
1. Add our Cydia repo to find the iPhone MMS Fix for Simple Mobile.
Our Repo is http://beta.leimobile.com/repo/
Once you install the fix you will need to reboot your phone and go into settings->general->network and make sure the APN is correct.
The settings should look like this:
Apn: simple
Mmsc: http://smpl.mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
Mms proxy: 216.155.165.050 You may need to change the proxy to 216.155.165.50:8080
Mms max: 1048576

If you are using the $40 TalkTextILD plan, you cannot use MMS as a data plan is required. When your current plan expires, upgrade your plan to one of the data capable plans – 50MB or 150MB – that Simple Mobile offers.
2. If you are unable to jailbreak and/or have a factory unlocked iPhone you can use iBackupBot which allows you to modify files on your iPhone without jailbreaking.
1. First things first. Make a full backup of your iPhone in iTunes.
2. Download the program iBackupBot. Make sure to select Mac or Windows. You may use the free trial, but it is best to purchase!
3. Launch iBackupBot and just hit OK to all of the messages that may pop up. It may take a while to load all the device information if you have multiple backups saved on your computer.
4. Once loaded you will want to find your most recent backup on the left had side and select it.
5. Next you will see a list of files show up in the righthand box. Scroll down until you see Library/Preferences/com.apple.mms_override.plist.
6. Double click on the mms override.plist and it will pop up a box to edit the file.
7. Download this com.apple.mms_override.plist and paste the contents into the box or manually write it out. It should looks similar to the picture below which is for T-Mobile. Simple Mobile’s will look a bit different. The MMSC string should be http://smpl.mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
8. Now put a checkmark in the box next to Library/Preferences/com.apple.mms_override.plist and then click on File at the top and select restore.
9. iBackupBot will restore this new edited file onto your iPhone.
10. I will make a video Tutorial soon.

T-Mobile MMS Settings For iOS 5 and iOS 6
The MMS settings for T-Mobile on iOS 6. These are the exact same as iOS 4 and iOS 5. Currently the easiest way to get MMS working on tmobile is to jailbreak and install the fix from our repo.
Now what happens if you have an unlocked iPhone 4S running on T-Mobile like I do? Well, right now there is no way to jailbreak the iPhone 4S and so you can’t get MMS working. Don’t worry, LEI Mobile has your back. If you have a factory unlocked iPhone and DO NOT want to Jailbreak or can’t Jailbreak but want MMS settings for T-Mobile I have a solution.
First off here are the correct MMS settings for T-Mobile on iOS 5.
Jailbreaking Required Settings:
Please add our Cydia repo to find the iPhone MMS Fix for T-Mobile.
Our Repo is http://beta.leimobile.com/repo/
To install our repository you will open up Cydia. Click on Manage at the bottom. Click On Edit in the top right. Click Add in the top left. Type http://beta.leimobile.com/repo/ and then press Add Source. Then Click on the LEI Mobile source and install the T-Mobile MMS Fix or the Simple Mobile MMS Fix if you have Simple Mobile.
Once you install the fix you will need to reboot your phone and go into Settings->General->Network-> Cellular Data Network and make sure the APN is correct for both your data APN and your MMS APN. All other settings should be filled in. Depending on your plan you may have different settings. If you don’t know the correct settings try them all. The most common is epc.tmobile.com and wap.voicestream.com. Others include internet2.voicestream.com and internet3.voicestream.com
Here is a video to help out:
UPDATE: This method will work on the latest version of iOS including iOS 6

2. Download the program iBackupBot. Make sure to select Mac or Windows. You may use the free trial, but it is best to purchase!

[FAQ] MMS Updated
[UPDATE] Ok as far as I’ve been able to find out. T-Mobile is the best to go in the MMS department (it just takes a lil longer to send), Simple Mobile on the other hand doesn’t work very good. There’s nothing we can really do to help, the best you can really do is send and sometimes receive. Sorry, switch to T-Mobile if you can.
Alright so the same questions keep coming in about Simple Mobile and T-Mobile MMS, so it’s about time for a centralized place to put the answers as the questions are asked again. Email questions or ask in the comments.
Q: It doesn’t work, need help!
A: Reboot? This hardly helps anyone in finding out what is wrong, be specific!
Q: Cydia gives me an error, sending log files.
A: Umm don’t do that! Send me a screenshot of the error, Cydia logs don’t tell me anything useful Ok these actually help now, but don’t just send me BLANK emails with log files because they wont be read unless you actually type a message….
Simple Mobile
Q: I can send but not receive on Simple Mobile, why’s that?
A: That is the absolute best most people can do, Simple Mobile refuses to cooperate to get iPhones working on their network. Switch carriers!
Q: Why does my picture come out so messed up when I do receive on Simple Mobile?
A: Answered above, network doesn’t like iPhones.
T-Mobile
Q: I can’t send or receive, what’s wrong?
A: If you’re going to ask that way send me a screen shot of your cell network settings and be sure both APN fields are filled and you actually have MMS on your account.

Simple Mobile iPhone MMS Fix
We have recently had a huge server crash and lost most of our data. Our Cydia repo is currently down, but you can manually fix your MMS with the Simple Mobile MMS Fix for iPhone below. This fix should work on iOS firmware 4.0 to 4.2.1+.
UPDATE 2: If your phone is not jailbroken follow this guide to get mms working on a non jailbroken iPhone: http://leimobile.com/simple-mobile-iphone-mms-settings-for-ios-5/
UPDATE:Please add our Cydia repo to find the iPhone MMS Fix for Simple Mobile.
Our Repo is http://beta.leimobile.com/repo/
Once you install the fix you will need to reboot your phone and go into settings->general->network and make sure the APN is correct.
If you are using the $40 TalkTextILD plan, you cannot use MMS as a data plan is required. When your current plan expires, upgrade your plan to one of the data capable plans – 50MB or 150MB – that Simple Mobile offers.
To install you will need to SSH into your iPhone. The first thing you will want to do is download OpenSSH from Cydia. Next you will want to follow the guide to using WinSCP for iPhone.
You will need to place the override plist for Simple Mobile in /var/mobile/Library/Preferences which you can download here: com.apple.mms_override.plist Make sure you REMOVE SIMPLE from the file name. So save the file as com.apple.mms_override.plist
