Iphone 2g MMS on BT Total Broadband Anywhere

[caption id="" align="alignright" width="300" caption="MMS Enable your 2g Iphone"]MMS Enable your 2g Iphone[/caption]

I have succesfully got MMS working on my Iphone 2g with BT Total Broadband anywhere / BTMobile, and have solved the problem where the mms APN settings do not save.

  1. Have your unlocked iphone 2g (on firmware v3.0, anything earlier and your about to brick your iphone)

  2. Run Cydia install Activate2Gmms

  3. Reboot

  4. check settings ->General ->Network -> Cellular Data Network   and confirm you now have the mms settings (if not repeat step 2)

  5. open safari and browse to http://help.benm.at

  6. click on the mobile config generator (half way down i think)

  7. and create a new config, filling in both mobile internet & visual voicemail (even though you dont have it) enable mobile tethering.  for both sets of config APN = btmobile.bt.com Username = bt and password = bt (note: dont put the equals sign in etc. duh!)

  8. Click Generate and install the profile

  9. once installed Reboot your iphone, dont check to see if its worked.

  10. Once your phone is back up go back to settings ->General ->Network -> Cellular Data Network

  11. You should see all three (Cellular Data, Visual Voicemail & MMS) have the same setting in them.

  12. goto mms MMSC and enter "http://mms.bt.com/servlets/mms" (without the quotes)

  13. goto mms proxy and enter "212.182.137.12:8799" (without the quotes)

  14. and reboot your iphone.


Thats it.

  3. For anyone having problems setting up MMS on a Jailbroken/unlocked 3G Iphone (3.0 software) on btmobile. Resolved this issue by skipping the Activate2Gmms stage and just going to http://help.benm in safari on the iphone, following James' steps but setting up with the following data instead:


    Access point name: btmobile.bt.com
    Username: bt
    Password: bt

    enable tethering, then install, reboot etc then go to network settings and enter into mms field:

    212.183.137.012
    http://mms.bt.com/servlets/mms

    reboot

    This seemed to work for me after trying every other possible option out there with no joy.

    Thanks James

  5. Not related to this post - I wanted to get in touch, and tried via Twitter. Was curious if you have any plans or tips for updating your great iSync plugin to work with 3.1/Snow Leopard? Wife's Nokia 5310 is un-synced and lonely in the meanwhile :(

    Cheers.

  7. I had this working until I went to the US for a few weeks, and used a Pay as you go ATT sim. Now it seems I can't get my mms working. I have re-jailbroken on my 3.1 GS, and can get all other data, text, and phone to work, but MMS fails still. Anyone else having issues with MMS Settings for btmobile?

    Tried to sync a Nokia 2760 with iSync in Snow Leopard. Added your 2760-specific edits to the end of the MetaClasses.plist file for a Nokia 6133, and it just worked! Thanks, James.
