so ive been working on this for the whole demo period and i finally figured it out. iphone version 2.1. heres the scoop if youre in the US:

my settings:

mmsc: mmsc.cingular.com
proxy: 066.209.011.032
image size: medium
useragent: Motorola_V360 (and im sure it doesnt make a difference)
everything else: blank

heres what i learned w/ at&t today after several phone calls w/ different reps. at&t has a totally different plan for the iphone than any other phone. its totally separate. i tested this out w/ my work at&t phone, which is the at&t tilt. the tilt has all similar plans as my iphone:

- unlimited text
- unlimited data
- whatever minute plan

when u get a plan for the iphone, mms is strictly out. no matter what the at&t rep says that they “activated” it, its all a BS story. i put the tilt’s sim card in and was able to send and receive mms.

so heres the scoop. at&t’s plans reflect the imei number to the phone. that number will change all the available plans for the particular phone. if the imei number at&t have on record show its an iphone, then the plans will match the separate iphone plan… no mms. so i decided to give them the imei number to the tilt to test this theory. i told them i changed phones.

they changed the imei number to the tilt’s but they have to adjust the plan because the imei number will not allow the iphone plan to work w/ it. so they made the changes. BAM! i had mms. both send and receive. but heres the kicker:

voicemail changed on me. i no longer had the iphone voicemail capability where i can see and select the voicemails i wanted to hear. its back to the standard “dial ur voicemail and go through the automated woman”. i tried to see if i could get the iphone voicemail back, but this feature is tied to the iphone plan. no way around it. its either mms or being able to select the voicemails u want to hear.

so as of at&t, they have the tilt’s imei on my file, yet i still use my iphone w/ the added mms capability. all i can say is, “awesome!” and well worth it!!!

keep this in mind. the imei from the phone cannot be detected by at&t. thats why they have to ask for it! and an easy way to find the imei: on ur phone, type in *#06# (astrix, pound, zero, six, pound)(u may have to press send)

hope this helps u guys out.
