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,

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.
Could someone please be of assistance?
I’ve set up my connection as follows:
My Connection: Cellular Line GPRS, Access point name: Internet. With this I’ve been able to surf the net and send and receive e-mail (obviously having set up e-mail accounts).
Then I set up MMS with settings I received from my service provider.
Now under settings (manage existing connections) it lists: Auto Pick, MMS GPRS & My connection.
I assume auto pick selects which service to use i.e. if you are using Internet Explorer it should select My Connection Internet and if you select MMS Composer, it should select MMS GPRS. Unfortunately mine does not. On Auto pick it selects the first service after it which is MMS GPRS.
Have I missed a setting?
Thanks

Hi there,
What are the differences between those "connection types" found in my WM6 smartphone: Secure WAP Network, WAP Network, The Work, The Internet ?
The reason I ask for this is that I have an MMS plan with my provider and I need to configure the MMS settings properly so that I don't get billed for all that GPRS data... so far it hasn't worked and I'm using the "Secure WAP network" connection type when asked, should I switch to "The Internet" type?
Thanks all for your help,

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!)
Hy...
Changed from sense to cm7 (hyper sensation)
i always disable mobile internet network, gprs, bluetooth etc. only connection for phonecalls and sms/mms was enabled.
if i need mobile internet, i enable manual.
the problem is since i changed to cm7 i need to enable mobile internet connection to send mms and becoming new ones.
is there a trick to say the sms/mms apk (now i try handcent sms) use temporary internet connection to send or download a mms???
"htc sence 3.5" does it before. i never had to enable the internet connection...thanx...
never mind... the set up is up to date. the swisscom mms APN set up is exactly how it should be. there is just no blue point like for the other gprs APN.
???
