MMS SMS Messaging

What is the difference between these two? and why can i not send any MMS messages? It always fails?

I have wondered that myself. I am thinking maybe one is for picture messaging and the other text. ha I am not sure. I can be totally embarrassed by this. I bet someone here will tell us in no time. Thanks for the question.
I wish I could find spell check on here. I know I am the worst speller of all time.

SMS = short messaging service
MMS = multimedia messaging service

So essentially SMS is a glorified pager service that can handle alphanumeric values. It's text only and relatively cheap and easy to implement.

MMS contains both text and some sort of multimedia, be it a picture, animated gif, movie, sound, or a combination thereof. In order to store the non-text information, a message server is required. Depending on who the service provider is for who you're sending the MMS to, if they don't have MMS service or an MMS-capable phone, you might get an error.

Are these your settings?

WAP GW IP Address:
216.155.165.050

APN Name:
wap.voicestream.com

Messaging Server:
http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

Data Mode:
Connection Oriented

The http address is: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/MMS

where do i look for these settings?

Thank-you for your great explaination. I appreciate this information.

under settings for MMS i show the following options:

Profile Name:
Homepage:
Data Account: GSM data or GPRS
Connection type: WAP- IP address or HTTP-proxy address/port
User Name:
Password:

Not sure how to set it up, i tried a few tings but still wont send MMS, I can receive pictures from my wife ..she has Tmobile as well but on a different phone

Yeah, obviously you're missing all the settings.

Go HERE:

Choose Nokia 2610.

Select the service you want, in this case MMS. Enter the security code and your phone number.
The next page will give you a PIN, and you will be sent a request to install settings. it'll ask you for the PIN, then walk you through where to save the various settings... essentially just choose any old slot when it asks you.

Hey thanks that worked!

Just for information, if you switch between 2 sims, you have to manually switch between GPRS settings for MMS and web browsing.

Gotcha, thanks

i'm having a similar problem, i can get text msgs, get online, but can't download mms
