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: https://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

Thank you very much! Looking forward to seeing you guys back up and running on cydia.
I did this following all instructions and can now receive MMS (was not able to before) but am no longer able to send (was able to before). Have tried tweaking APN settings to no avail. Am I the only one having this problem?
Please somebody help me fix The MMS on my iPhone 3gs. I can send but I can’t receive.
what do you mean by a temporary solution?
It’s temporary until we get our repo back up

yeah the repo is back!
The repo is up but the simple mobile mms fix still wont install on iphone 3gs. Everytime i try to install simple mobile mms fix a message comes back as ( HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found). I have deleted leimobile repo from cydia and added it back. Still the simple mobile mms fix will not install. the temporary fix above still did not fix my issue i cannot receice pics. Do you have a definite way we can fix this issue, or are you still working on the fix?
i did the fix on the top of the page but i still cant recieve pictures i can send them though, i called Simple Mobile and they asked me to put in this other repo on cydia but it does the same thing and im really frustrated i have an iphone 3g running on iOS 4.2.1, PLEASE HELP
Thanks works for my thanks again
I can send mms but not receive…help please!!!
Thanks for the temporary fix…but will there need to be an update done to my phone once the repo is back up or will it automatically be taking care of?
Our repo just makes it easier to install. If you did it manually, you are all set.
Try This it works, then restart your iPhone 4g

I have a unlocked 3G running 4.1 and a 3GS running 3.1.3 and I can’t get either one to work with MMS. I tried the method that you showed but it still didnt work. Any ideas? Please I need this capability for work.
Thank you!
If I use I-funbox will I still need to download open ssh from cydia?
Thanks.
I try it and it works only to send not to received, any sugestion on whats needed to get it working. Thanks in advance for the support you guys are great!!!
I currently have an iPhone 3GS 4.1 and I’ve tried everything and this thing is still down please help
Same here. 3Gs jailbroken & unlocked. Is it because I’m running on 4.2?
I doubt it because I was talking to someone that made a vid of this on YouTube and she said that on some phones 3G/3GS that sometimes it’ll work and sometimes it won’t..and she also said to just call costumer service
I’ve tried to install beta.leimobile.com/repo/ but it gives me an error code. Says not found
Hey boss I tried to put leimobile repo fix but it’s says 1.1.404 not found. I have iPhone4 on 4.0.2 dose it not work for my phone or am I doing something wrong?
Make sure you have the last forward slash at the end of the repo.

I did this fix and I receive the mms pic message like 2 days later. Is there something I can do to fix this?
The repo is up but the simple mobile mms fix still wont install on iphone 3gs. Everytime i try to install simple mobile mms fix a message comes back as ( HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found). I have deleted leimobile repo from cydia and added it back. Still the simple mobile mms fix will not install. the temporary fix above still did not fix my issue i cannot receice pics. Do you have a definite way we can fix this issue, or are you still working on the fix?
Nobody at LEi has Simple Mobile, so there is no way for us to test. Hopefully one of our readers can help out.
What does the error mean http/ 1.1 404 not found?Iis this something on your end that needs to be corrected to make it work correctly? When will you address the issue of the simple mobile fix not being able to install thru cydia at all?
I’m talking about the simple
Mobile mms fix install nit the download. It downloaded fine, but when u go to install and confirm, it comes back saying http 1.1 leimobile not found and then 404 code or some crap. This is stupid !
Hmmm…. I’ll have Brandon take a look at it. Remember, the DNS may take some time to refresh for you. There are still people in various locations that still don’t see us. So it may be that issue. It can take up to 3 days for LEI Mobile and it’s services to be seen world wide.
I hope someone can get simple mobile mms fix on there iPhone soon. I can send ok but not receive. Can anyone help wit this problem? Thanks.
Refresh Cydia and try installing the fix again.
hi please help i am still having issues the errors are different know i cannot install it please help and also do i have to install iphonedelivery please help
Ok, o was finally able to download AND install Simple mobile mms fix, but still the same problem remains. I have 3 gs 4.1 and a 3GS 4.0 none of them able to receive pics, but sends fine. Plus on my 4.1 I have no gps connection. But I do on my 4.0. Man ! This is frustrating.
Im having the same problem! what to do??
I’m seeing that most people seem to be having the opposite problem I had. Prior to doing the manual install as outlined above I could send MMS but could not receive. (I am using an iPhone 3Gs new bootrom on iOS 4.1, jailbroken and unlocked on T-Mobile.) After I did the manual install I could receive MMS but could no longer send. I installed pushfix from Cydia and now I can send and receive MMS. I’m not sure why it worked, but it did. I hope it helps at least some of you.
Richard: try installing pushfix on your 3Gs with FW 4.0 withOUT the Simple Mobile repo. There have been a lot of mixed results with this, so the best advice I can give everyone is to try different things – 1. Try changing your APN/MMSC/MMS Proxy settings without any repos first. 2. Try the Simple Mobile repo (or, if you have FW 4.0, try the PushFix repo first) 3. Try installing the PushFix repo. Hope this helps!
Ummm, T-Mobile shouldn’t be compatible with this fix at all if I’m not mistaken…
What can we do then?
follow this topic: https://leimobile.com/t-mobile-iphone-mms-settings-for-ios-4/

http://beta.leimobile.com/repo/
this fix used to work perfectly, before the server meltdown. Maybe there its a change in the new files? now we have A,B,C,D… options, can i help troubleshoot? have planty of iphones to test with.
BTW Thank you for your hard work, if there is anything i can do for you guys, please let me know.
Thanks again
We have been unable to test as none of us here at leimobile have simple mobile. We need a reader to help us configure the right file.
By all means, let me help. let me know what you need from me and be glad to help, the least i can do.
Thanks
People I follow the steps as indicated above Simple Mobile iPhone MMS Fix
Posted on November 29, 2010 by LEI Mobile. However, I can only send MMS, but I can’t recieve picture text. Is there a Fix for this? Could someone please advise? Thanks. If need to know I have Iphone 3GS with 4.0.1 and the baseband is 05.11.07. Please help. Thanks.
Can somebody please tell me how to pay for my plan from simple mobile, I can’t go to the store. Please help
i can sing you up for auto refill through my pay portal
service http://www.anyphoneunlockandflash.com hope im not braking any
rules by posting the link to my site
@Alex can you tell me how to pay for this plan, I can’t go to the store because it’s closed..
just go to: http://mysimplemobile.com/activate
On the website here: https://leimobile.com/simple-mobile-iphone-mms-fix/
I followed the steps and completed the process, but it did not work. I still could not receive mms messages.
I think I found the problem… in the file that they provide a link to (com.apple.mms_override.plist) there’s a missed zero on the Mms proxy: 216.155.165.(0)50
After using the file and installing it in with WinSCP I looked in the data network settings and compared it with the info provided on the page: https://leimobile.com/simple-mobile-iphone-mms-fix/…. and found the missing zero and then put it in and every things Great and working now.
Just letting every one know what happed so that they can correct it for the rest of us simple users.
hey jimmyo’brian, just wanted to know if your phone is still working for recieving picture message with those settings? because i did what u said and i still cant recieve…honestly i think there might be a server problem with simple because every now and then like a week later i get a picture.

I tried this and it actually works!!! I’ve been trying since Christmas! I swear!!
@Darlene what did you try so maybe I can try it
yes darlene what was it that u tried?!.?
THANKS!!!! works great!!!
What works exactly? Can you share your settings with us? I am very frustrated here. We can only get these iPhones to send, not to receive.
I have the iphone 3g 4.2.1,,
I have tried everything… and nothing works…. One day it sends mms the other day I would receive the all like 5 hours after….. Is there any real setting or should I just forget about sending mms with my iphone..
thank you so much you are awesome…. it works like magic now, thanks again, we appreciate your help
Your settings both send AND receive mms?!
running 3g 4.2.1
I dont get this shit after I did everything it says here I started gettting non stop pic messages a total of 15 and now i dont get shit anymore.. wtf is going on???????????
thank you so much it works fine for me
iphone 3gS
Can you confirm that you are able to both send AND receive pictures? This solution seems very hard to find.
This Cydia add on worked well on my 3Gs / 4.2.1. I can send and receive pics on Simple Mobiles network!
Im starring to think it has something to do with the network. Same file, everyone get different results.
Peter can you tell us(that can’t get/send mms) what your settings are.
Yes Peter, can you please share your settings with us?
I have a 3Gs/4.2.1 on simple mobile and this does not work for me, if anyone can help me PLEASE do so!!
iPhone 4 4.2.1 firmware 01.59.00 I try all the steps above and nothing works. I can only send pics after like 3 to 5 tries after it fails. STILL CAN NOT receive.
I personally think that their SERVERS can not handle the load and it just crashes on MMS.
The only hope we all have is for SIMPLE MOBILE and T-Mobile to upgrade their servers.
Final Fix this one works. I was having the same problem as half of you out there. This is what I did:
1st. I set the settings as stated at the beginning of the thread.
2nd. I downloaded ByteSMS and set it as default.
3rd. Change the settings in ByteSMS to use the default SMS(the phones, NOT ByteSMS network)
4th. And Finally, set ByteSMS to try 2 times upon failure. I notice that at times it fails but the second time it goes through.
Hope this Helps everybody out there.
