AT&T: SWIRLYMMS WORKS ON IPHONE ---FINALLY---

[jah81592]

Mine won't work still. I called ATT yesterday and mentioned I have an additional phone which I send MMS with and they mentioned that I will be charge outrageous charges for my data plan if the setting are for another phone. Apple and ATT have a raquet going. This is retarded. I am extremely dissatisfied with the iPhone and ATT. I don't like someone telling me I cant send MMS's when I pay the price for a text plan. Can I get a refund? IThis app won't work and I have purchased a product I cannot use. Otherwise if Swirly can get this to work I will be satisfied. If anyone can assist that would be fine as well.

Damn, you guys still cant get it to work huh? Fucking sucks. That guy gQ fucking hooked my shit up Nov 13 and it's still going strong. I've re-jail broke it two times and upgraded to 2.2. Works every fucking time. Why don't you guys holler at him. Don't waste your fucking time talking to ATT because they wont help you. Holler at me with questions.

to get it working it took me 5 solid days of calling at&t. At&t are THE problem. you have to keep calling tech support til you get someone that understands the enabling on your account in the snopes system --- mms:yes wap push:yes --- will not hurt their system in any way. you also have to change the messaging plan to a regular one (this is the easiest part). after trying to convince several techs that i needed to switch phones or needed exchange email i finally decided to tell the truth and he 3rd person (tech) i talked to done the whole thing in about 30 seconds! i had to shut off my phone and turn it back on but it works like a charm now. hope this helps!

I was just told by an ATT tech they "won't" enable WAP push. Considering I've got the max plan for 3 iphones for minutes and sms, I'm surprised they don't care to enable such a simple feature. Especially considering their solusion of the flash interpritation of mms messages completely sucks.

Anyone have the name/contact info of an Exec at ATT? I'm going to continue this to a final resolution, one way or another.

This was working perfect for me but I went to the 3G two days ago and it all stopped. Two days on the phone and nothing with AT&T. I tried this and it worked PERFECT...the lady even said it was funny how I said exactly what I wanted in their "terms" here is a audio clip of the recap of what she did...i recorded our conversation...well the last part of it...


First off, call 888.892.9760. These are tier level reps who know what they're doing. Second off, make sure you have the rep enable WAP push (There are 2 places in Snooper for them to make the change.) Next, have the rep change your iphone texting plan to a normal non-iphone text plan. (costs the same). Lastly, have them resend your ota's (over-the-air activation) and reset your vlr's (clears the registry). Power cycle your phone and you should be good to go.

Here is my new rate plan with after she updated me.

Just wanted to confirm that I followed the above instructions today and SwirlyMMS began working immediately after my phone reboot. The Technician said she knew exactly what I was talking about and could handle it quickly. She knew why I was asking for the changes without me discussing it. I'd guess they've had a few calls requesting these modifications and seemed happy to help out.

My settings after reboot:
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
Proxy: wireless.cingular.com:80
APN: none
Username: none
Password: none
Image size: Medium
UserAgent: iPhone

Hi,

I tried this with AT&T and everything was going great until they tried to change the WAP push (one of the two snooper settings). The system didn't let them change this setting and it the end they said they couldn't change it because the iPhone is a safari based system? Should I push them to override this somehow? or do you know of another work around.

Do I need to get off an iphone plan all together and just get internet and messaging seperately? I noticed in the session with AT&T you recorded it seemed you had done that.

Thanks!
