T-Mobile iPhone MMS Settings For iOS 4

Earn a Free iPhone 4S. Click Here!

Many people have been asking for the MMS settings to use for T-Mobile.  This will work on all versions of the iPhone and any firmware.  Whenever you restore your iPhone you lose the settings and since T-Mobile is not an official carrier in the US yet, you will have to manually enter these settings in.

UPDATE: 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 LEIMobile source and install T-Mobile MMS Fix.

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 as seen in the picture to the right should be filled in.

———————————–

You will not have to do anything below if you followed the instructions above.

Our Tmobile MMS fix from our repo will support all iOS 4 firmwares: 4.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.2, 4.1, 4.2.1, 4.3, 4.3.1, 4.3.2, 4.3.3 and will most likely work in all other iOS firmwares.  In order for MMS to work on non approved carriers you will have to jailbreak.

If the above fails, go to: Settings->General->Network->Cellular Data Network and enter these settings:

APN: wap.voicestream.com
Username:
Password:
MMSC: 216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
MMS Max Message Size:
MMS UA Prof URL:

Once you are done just reboot your iPhone and MMS should be working.  If they are not working correctly try these settings:

APN: epc.tmobile.com
Username:
Password:
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng-t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
MMS Max Message Size:
MMS UA Prof URL:

Reboot again and MMS should be working on your iPhone.

THESE SETTINGS SEEM TO WORK IF YOU HAVE JAILBROKEN YOUR IPHONE. This is the manual way of applying the settings. You only need to do this if our Cydia repo is not working.

Navigate to /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mms_override.plist on your iPhone and edit the file by pasting whats below.  You can download a program like ifile from cydia to do this.

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC “-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN” “http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd”>
<plist version=”1.0″>
<dict>
<key>MMS</key>
<dict>
<key>GroupModeEnabled</key>
<false/>
<key>MMSC</key>
<string>http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc</string>
<key>MaxMessageSize</key>
<integer>1048576</integer>
<key>MaxRecipients</key>
<integer>10</integer>
<key>MaxVideoBitrate</key>
<integer>131072</integer>
<key>Proxy</key>
<string>216.155.165.50:8080</string>
<key>UAProf</key>
<string>http://www.apple.com/mms/uaprof.rdf</string>
<key>UserAgent</key>
<string>SonyEricssonW800i/R1L</string>
</dict>
</dict>
</plist>

After that reboot your phone, enter the correct APN settings, and everything should work.

    I have T Mobile with the unlocked iphone purchased from Apple. I can send picture messages and people can recieve them no problem. I can recieve picture messages, but they have to have an iphone 4s, if they don’t I do not recieve them. I recieve a message that says…
    The media content was not included due to a picture resolution or message size restriction.

    Can someone pleaseeeeee help me!

  2. James says

    I have an unlocked Iphone 3g on tmobile running the 4.2.1. I tried these settings and they dont allow me to send pictures but i can receive pictures from people with Iphone 4s. When someone without an iphone sends me a picture, it comes through with either half the picture, or its just a red or blue box. Any help or suggestions please??

  3. KD says

    I have a 3GS running iOS 4.0 and for some reason the MMS just stopped working about a month ago. I tried all of the above solutions and none of them work, I can receive fine, I just cannot send pics to any phone/carrier. Suggestions?

  4. Fadi says

    I have an iPhone 4, Version 4.0, and baseband 1.59.00/ Based on the instructions given on here I was able to receive MMS, but not send any. Everytime I try it says “your message was not sent. Tap try again to send this message.. Is there any way I can begin to start sending pictures? Thank you.

  5. home says

  6. Melvin says

  7. 0811AAAA says

    This is awesome!!!!!!! Totally wsorks w my iphone 3gs 4.1…….. I’m sooooo excited after trying so many other ways this one works. I can send & receive 😀

  8. zimzum308 says

    i tried to install it but when i do i get an error code showing up as sub-process/usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1).. i made the mistake of removing my tmobile sim card out of my iphone 3g.. when i put it back in i noticed that all network data settings were erased even after i put my sim card back it.. ive tried many settings but i keep getting the message that the pic could not be shown cuz its too large. please point me to the right dirrection

  9. Jess says

    I’ve tried this several times, and after the reboot, and going to the cellular data the APN information is completely blank. If I fill in the information it does not save after powering off the device again. Any suggestions?

  10. Austin says

    I copy and pasted what is in the article above as well as downloading the package from the added repo, but APN settings will still not show up in Settings>general>network.
    i have iPhone 3GS 4.3.3 BB 6.15.00 . What else can I do?

      • Austin says

        Well I suppose that is the issue because when I use iDisk to copy and paste the info that is posted above in the article here I make sure it is saved but then when I reboot the device and go back into iDisk it reverts back to the default settings. I made sure to hit save, but it happens again. What else might i be doing wrong. Plus when I go to settings>general>network, there is no place for me to edit my APN settings.

  11. Layla says

    i was so skeptical thinking that this was gonna be the same as the others & not work… WRONG! it worked on the first try with my unlocked iPhone 3G iOS 4.2 i can now not only send, but receive pictures too. the video was very helpful. thanks!!!

  12. Sandra Dee says

    When I go to Settings>general> my phone does not show an option for network.

    Enable 3G
    Data Roaming
    VPN
    Wi-Fi
    These are the only options I can choose from.

  13. Matt says

    Hi im running 4.3 baseband 4.10.01 carrier 10.0 with the gevey sim on T-mobile.

    MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng-t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
    -was filled in as opposed to the other MMSC

    Now im a little confused as to whether I need to fill in the MMS as “wap.voicestream.com” or “epc.tmobile.com” and vise versa for the Cellular Data APN.

    And also, whenever this is done correctly I should have the option on photos to send as an MMS right?

    Please help me out, Thank you.

      • Matt says

        Try the other setting as in the other MMSC?

        And “wap.voicesteam.com” and “epc.tmobile.com” as either the Cellular Data or MMS APNs correct?

  14. Matt says

    Is there anyway you can just tell me which settings would be correct based on the information I gave you about my iphone4?

    Thanks.

    • says

      It is different for every person depending on your T-Mobile plan. most people use the default settings and wap.voicestream.com. If that does not work after a reboot, then try putting epc.tmobile.com and reboot.

  15. Matt says

    Okay I understand that, but are you saying I don’t even need to put anything under the Cellular Data APN?

    • says

      The cellular data apn is for your internet access. Some people it works when you leave it blank. Others need to put something depending on their data plan. If your internet works with it blank then leave it blank.

      As for the MMS APN you need to use wap.voicestream.com 90% of the time.

      • Matt says

        Okay so i’ve tried just about every combination possible on my iphone4, 4.3, 4.10.01. No luck, do you have any specific advice on how I can get MMS to work on my iphone? Is it cause my iphone is 4.3? Do I need to keep data roaming off/on? Cellular Data on/off? My apologies this is just bugging me.

  18. Josh says

  20. Jeanne says

    I got this to work following the instruction just a few hours ago I was sending and receive pictures fine but now it’s not working. I haven’t changes anything from when it was working earlier

  21. jules says

    It works well on Iphone 4s unlocked Gevey Sim. BUT if the phone is powered off I have to remove the sim card and re-enter all the settings again. Is there a setting that retains the MMSC and APN’s if the phone is restarted?

  22. Maria says

    Hi, I have an iPhone 3 (jailbroken) and I used it overseas (with cosmote) and now here in the states with Tmobile. I can’t get to the right Cydia screen, so I did the manual input (both) and I can now receive picture messages, but still can’t send them. They start to go, but at about 90%, it slows down, and I get a “message failed” alert. Is there anything else I can do to remedy this?
