Newby question - MMS and GPRS

Hello all,
I was wondering, in order to receive an MMS message, do I have to turn on GPRS communication, or is it automatically switched on upon receiving an MMS message?

It has to be configured on your device, GPRS and MMS that is, and it also has to be acivated by your network. I was trying to get my GPRS working and couldn't work out why it wasn't until I finally spoke to someone at O2 who had a vague idea of what they were doing and said new customers had to request activation of GPRS!

i get mms wihtout having turned grps on at the time
but when i open the msg then it connect to the network using grps
and get the mms pic, movie, sound or what ever

Ah, that clarifies!
Thanks for your replies!
With regards,
Thumper

a bit more clarification ... the MMS platform sends a special SMS to the phone (xda or other) ... if the phone is equiped for MMS the proper application (ex: MMS Composer or EZWAP 2.5) will start and it will connect through GPRS ... this requires also to have the device and the dial registered on the MMS platform .... otherwise a normal SMS will be displayed containing a URL to download the MMS from any web browser.

My GPRS connection works fine, I can browse the Internet with IE. But when I try to send a photo message (MMS), I get "Cannot connet". Does anyone know why?

if you put in the right
Server name
Gateway
and
server address
in mms composer
and you have made them turn on mms in their end (the cellphone company)
and some people need to make a new grps connections with another access point (often mms)
then i dont know

They sent me a text message that automatically entered the details in MMS composer for me (server name, server address and gateway). I found the new details there when I checked. Because I called them to activate the service (and so they sent me the text message), I'm assuming it's active from their end. I'm not aware of a different GPRS connection I should be using. There are already three connections set up: WAP CSD, WAP GPRS and Internet GPRS. Takker ellers for tilbagemelding.

Operator Settings CAB file needed ..

Despite extensive searching on this forum and others, I can't seem to find a CAB file for download that will auto-install operator settings for (UK) BT Mobile
Settings can be installed manually (as below), but can they be made into a CAB file for ease of use ? I'm not the first to ask ... so whoever does create one will be well respected !!
In settings, data connections, GPRS Connection, add the following, set up for WAP Network:
Name: BT Mobile
GPRS Access Point: btmobile.bt.com
User name: bt
Password: [none]
Do not enter any DNS or IP Address information.
Under the Proxy Connection, do the following:
Name: BT Proxy
"Connect from" Select WAP Network
"Connects to" The Internet
Proxy (Nameort): 212.183.137.12:8799
Type: HTTP
User name: bt
Password: [none]
In the Data Connections screen, Set the WAP Connection to BT Mobile.
Within Internet Explorer, turn off the "Automatically detect settings" option and specify connect by WAP Network.
Many Thanks
Mark

app made by schaps
works for me.

Thanks .. but it doesn't contain the settings for BT Mobile
It has all the other UK networks, but not the one I want (BT Mobile is a virtual network that piggybacks onto Vodafone - but as per usual it has different Proxys etc) ...
Still looking ...
Thanks
Mark

My brother also needs this as his company has just changed Operator. Any offers?

Network Connection settings

I have created two network connections under My ISP. One for GPRS and one for MMS. The problem is if I first create MMS connection then other applications which require internet acces also dial it and if I create first GPRS connection then the MMS also dial it.
How to I set prefences so MMS utility only dial MMS connection and other apps dial GPRS?

o2 network connection problem...

Anyone noticed that o2 has changed their network setup?
I'm a regular ROM flasher and when i start the connection it used to connect to "O2 UK" but now it gives you the option of "O2 postpay" & "O2 prepay".
(I choose the postpay option)
The problem I have is with my MMS server now that i have to choose postpay or prepay...
When connecting using the old connection MMS wouldn't connect to wap for anything other than MMS, but now it will connect for anything (i.e. email, weather, opera/IE, etc)
Does anyone know how to make my MMS server to only allow MMS to use it for connection? (I'll be using Mobile internet connection for other connections)
(Already using 'Data Connection' program to turn it off when not needed but what a hassle!)
