Enabling MMS without jailbreaking on GoPhone (and others) (not tested)

Posted 152 CommentsPosted in unlockit

Note: I am not in the USA and have not personally tested this myself but doing similar works with other carriers I have tested. Please let me know if it works for you or any problems. This May only work with an iPhone 4 or 4S as some people show say its not working are using 3G/3GS

There is a method which can be used to enter MMS Settings in but you will need a SIM Card which the iPhone doesn’t have the settings in for. In the US you will need a T-Mobile Sim (or alike) which seems the easiest to get. This same method can be used on other Carriers/Network as well.

– Make sure you can make calls etc via Go Phone sim
– Install US – GoPhone Profile (When connected via wireless) (or US – AT&T – its the same)
– Make sure Data over the Cell network works (see http://www.unlockit.co.nz/unlockit/?p=568 under “Why doesn’t the GoPhone $50 unlimited plan work”)
– Remove GoPhone SIM
– Place T-Mobile SIM in
– Go to Settings -> General -> Network -> Cellular Data Network (this will come up now)
– Swap AT&T sim back in
– Waiting until it says AT&T up the top again
– Now Enter in the MMS Settings (For GoPhone/AT&T) – If you are using another Carrier please check http://www.unlockit.co.nz/mobilesettings for MMS Settings

APN: wap.cingular
User Name: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password: CINGULAR1
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com:80
MMS Max Size: 1048576
MMS UA Proof URL:

– Exit by clicking on Network up the top
– Send MMS (and hope it works)

Skinny Mobile and the iPhone

Posted 4 CommentsPosted in Mobile, New Zealand, NZ, Skinny, Telecom, unlockit

Updated: A Skinny user has noted the Skinny SIMS may just work with the Telecom XT APN Settings so all of this is probably not needed and will just work with the Built in Settings on the iPhone for XT.

Skinny is a new Carrier in New Zealand (http://www.skinny.co.nz) which is using the Telecom Network.

The Data APN Details are know (Data Supported Only at the moment – no MMS or WAP) but there is no way to enter the details in by hand (as the Editing of APN Details are hidden when using a Telecom Based SIM (which Skinny is)

So how do people get the Skinny APN Details in:

Easy way: go to http://www.unlockit.co.nz from your iPhone (whilst your connected via Wifi) and Go thru the normal process (Choose New Zealand – Skinny) and install profile.

Not So Easy Way: (Not verified to work in latest version of software on phone but used to work – let me know if it does work). You will need a 2Degrees or Vodafone SIM. Place 2Degree/Vodafone SIM in phone and go to Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data Network. Swap SIM to Skinny SIM. In the Data APN Settings put in wapaccess.co.nz with no username or password and then go back to home screen.

Things to Clarify

Posted 18 CommentsPosted in unlockit

I get lots of emails per day and I try and answer them all but the biggest questions I get are below. I will try and answering them.

“Why don’t you include MMS Settings”

– Apple doesn’t include any method of setting MMS Settings at all via any kind of automation thus I cannot set them. I have requested from apple in the past regrading this and maybe in the future I may have the ability to.

“Why doesn’t the GoPhone $50 unlimited plan work”

With the GoPhone “unlimited” plan it does not give you unlimited data on Smart Phones (i.e. iPhones) with the United States AT&T Profile . Saying that for a small percentage of people they do get “unlimited” data on the iPhone without doing anything but for most people you will have to buy a “data feature”  with a limited amount of data.  For some people it doesn’t work at all even after a data feature. Why this works in different ways I don’t know but I presume it depends where in the USA people are and the regional differences between their network.

“You website didn’t carrier unlock my phone”

My website does not carrier unlock iPhones. It sets APN (Carrier Settings) for iPhones.

 

Lots of New APNs Added

Posted 162 CommentsPosted in unlockit

Over the last day I have added another 40+ APN Settings for Different Countries and Carriers around the world.

If your Carrier is not listed please let me know via the application or via email (or comment on here)

I’m trying to add many more as quick as I can but please don’t ask for carriers which are already on the list (as there is no point). Also if you are going to ask for  an APN Setting for your carrier please let me know its correct name as over the last 2 days I’ve had 150 requests for different carriers but only about 1/3 of them have been valid.

Thanks

Unlockit Beta (Updated) ….

Posted 18 CommentsPosted in unlockit

I have switched over to the new version (previously beta) which automatically works out what country you are in.

If you have any suggestions please let me know

—-

I have written a much newer version of unlock it which will work out where you are and by default pick the country you are in (hopefully) so you don’t have to scroll as much.

Its linked in the app after you go past the first page. Give it a try and let me know if it gets it right.

Franko “We are one”

Not exactly iPhone related but Franko is a good friend of mine who I work with. He is a great New Zealand Musician and I want to give him some support by showing his great song and video to the world.

For those who are in New Zealand he will be playing “We are one” on Maori TV tonight just before the New Zealand vs Argentina Rugby World Cup Match.
