Howdy folks,
I have a VZW XV6800. I have a data block. I can't get pix messages, naturally. However, I gather that I'm supposed to be able to view them online, but no pictures show up in my online albums. Does anyone know how to get at the pix messages that I receive, even if I have to be at a computer to get to them?
Incidentally, I also tried to change my MMS settings to download through the internet and connect with wifi or USB, but my XV6800 still wouldn't download them. Any ideas on that front? Thanks!

Hi guys:
I already searched for this in Google and what not, and I have tried some, but with no luck. Here's my situation:
I own an Unlocked Nokia X2-01 with a T-mobile SIM Card working. (I'm not prepaid, just with a expired contract).
I receive calls and make them nicely. I'm able to receive text messages and send, but, for some reason I can't make work the MMS messages since I can't receive them.
I tested already the proposed settings here, but I can't make them work since those are for other devices, not a Nokia X2-01.
How do I make MMS settings work with my device so I can receive mms?
If someone wants to drop a hint, thanks very much in advance! And sorry for any inconvenience.
Thanks!
Thanks anyway.
Still waiting for someone to share a hint. I already tried some configurations but they didn't work for me since those are for other devices.
Thanks in advance and i'll keep waiting. Thanks guys!
*BUMP THIS UP*
Anyone can share a hint? Thanks guys!
Got something working, partially...
Ok! Here's the thing. I've done more search and I've found a partial fix for the mms settings. I'll share the fix for the benefit of everyone.
I was a couple of days ago inside the t-mobile website. And I didnt notice a help section they have for "non-tmobile devices" (see the attached PDF file for specific details). I found this only thru their search option.
So, I took the phone. I went to the menu->settings->configuration->personal settings. And there I created an access point and a multimedia msg. settings with those tmobile provide in their site.
Inside access point I inserted the wap.voicestream.com address inside of the packet data access pt. option.
Then, I inserted the mms server address inside the multimedia messages personal setting.
Now, I activated both in my phone and I'm now able to receive picture messages. And, I just said picture messages. Now I have the problem of sending mms messages. When I try to send an mms for example, to an android phone of some relative they only see a little triangle with an exclamation mark in it. Just that, no photo.
There's where im at right now figuring out the sending of mms. If I make that work i'll post results. If anyone wants to drop a hint on sending mms, configuration, etc. Please do.
Thanks and i'll check back later.
I just posted about this on my site and thought some T-Mobile peeps would think it was interesting. Supposedly it lets you access the internet via text messages without needing any data connection.
It might be B.S. (I can't test it since I'm on AT&T).

Just tried it, so far it doesnt seem to be working,...
its basically a browser, you type a url, and it sends you a text which takes about 30 seconds to get to you for some reason with these letters, then it says decoding...
and im stuck there. I have tMOBILE
and its stuck at decoding...
i was trying cnn.com
uninstalled.
Why only on T-Mobile?

I have not looked at this method, but back on old "dumb" phones, you could use a text message to access the Internet when you didn't pay for it. So, yea, this most likely is adapted from that trick.

Tried it but I guess their servers are getting killed right now. It's taking too long to get the MMS messages back
just tried it, take about ~35 seconds mobile gmail...great idea if you don't have internet?
Can anyone confirm if this works on AT&T?
I assume it just sends the request via sms to their email server then replies to your phone an encoded version of the webpage then decodes it within the app to load the web page...would be very inefficient.
Yes, but for someone that doesn't have a data plan, or wants to get rid of theirs because they don't use it much, this would be great in a pinch
90% of the time I'm in a wifi hotspot anyway. But this will work great for me when I'm not
I finally decided to install this app to see how well it works. I noticed when reading up about it that you have the ability to send a message to a phone number through this app.
How exactly does that work? Does it use the data connection (therefore not counting as an SMS message on your phone plan)?
I'm on the Verizon network and have unlimited messaging to other Verizon numbers, but only 500 messages to phones on other carriers. Before I used this app I wanted to make sure I understand how that was going to affect that number.
Can anyone clear this up for me?
So I've got this issue with my phone. I'm running Iwireless based in Iowa and ILL on my Motorola xt720. The Phone is actually available from the company so its not unlocked or anything like that and its running the default rom. Anyway. I have unlimited everything Ulimited 3g internet, Ulimited text, pic msg, and calling. My internet was working fine today. I've never tried to send a picture till today and as soon as I clicked send my internet stopped working and the picture didn't send. I've tried rebooting the phone, I've tried changing all the settings back to default, I've tried switching between settings and nothing seems to work I can't get my internet back and my picture messaging still wont work. I was wondering if anyone had some idea of what happened or how to fix it?
Okay so I took out my battery, Sim card, and memory card for like a few minutes and put them back in and my internet works again. But If I try to send a picture message my internet disappears again. Anyone have any idea why its doing this?
I think that in your plan rules there is something like you have "unlimited internet", BUT you cannot upload files larger than for example 1MB. Or maybe your internet is reconnected every ex. 3 minutes, and the picture stops to upload. Operators do it often, especially it my country, so i'm accustomed to this. It should prevent abusing the unlimited upload to use gsm to uploading large movies or games by 'pirates', but sometimes interferes to do normal things by normal users
I've never had that problem with my previous phone so I can't see how that would be it. Because it doesn't even upload the picture and send it. It just shuts my internet off and the picture never sends.
