CU720 Reward-unlocked & Unable to picture message on TMobile

I own an LG CU720, recently purchased from AT&T, but now unlocked. I am using the phone with a T-mobile sim card on the T-Mobile network. I can make calls and send text messages without complication. However, I am unable to enable picture messaging or web access through the T-mobile network. It appears that the CU720 is a phone that is simply not supported by T-mobile for picture messaging (MMS) and T-zones access. T-mobile relayed the same incompatibility concerns with me. Any ideas? Picture messaging would a fantastic option here. I am currently left with a very pretty paperweight. If you can figure it out for me, I’ll mail you a check.

You'll need to find a way to get the T-Zones settings put on the phone. The CU720 (Shine) is configured to work on AT&T's MEdia Net.

I have spent two hours on the phone with T-Mobile trying to make it work. I have manually put the T-Zones settings onto my Shine. Still no luck. T-Mobile said that even with the correct Tzones and MMS messaging settings, it may not work because this shine is "unsupported". Is this possible? I mean, the Shine is a very smart phone and I imagine that it is compatible with virtually any settings I desired. Any ideas?

To have the t-zone to work and have MMS, do the following:

Menu->Settings->Connection-> Network Profiles then click "New"

Connection title:
T-Zones
Authentication:
PAP
Username:
* leave blank *
Password:
* leave blank *
APN:
epc.T-Mobile.com

then click save. This will allow the t-zone to work on your browser. Next, to set up your MMS settings, do the following:
Menu->Messaging->Message Settings->Multimedia Message->Message Center->Options->New

Name:
T-Mobile

MMSC URL:
h[]ttp://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
*remove the []
MMSC Proxy:
216.155.174.050

MMSC Port:
8080

Connection Mode:
TCP without Proxy

then save it, and activate that profile. If all goes well, those should be the correct setting for T-Mobile tzone and mms on an unlocked AT&T CU720 Shine as of October 18, 2008

do i still get a reward?? haha

I just bought the same phone and had the same problems. All you have to do is call t-mobile and ask for tech support, they will walk you through it. It takes at least 25mins but well worth it! I love my new phone. GOOD LUCK!
