Samuel mine was simple for the mms. I purchased swirleymms from cydia when i hacked my iphone 3g so all i did was got to the settings in swirleymms and input the info you supplied in an earlier post and hit save and walllaaa it works every time for mms ! Thank you for the good info !! Oh by the way Im on os 4.1 baseband 6.15.00.

Supreme preferences is no longer. Gone in 09 according to my research. Easy fix is to purchase swirleymms from cydia store and input the settings from samuels earlier post and it works.

Re: Will Apple Iphone unlocked work with Tracfone/StraightTalk
Heres how I do mms. If I want to send a mms I go to the swirlymms icon and enter the app to send the mms. If I want to send text only I go to the messages icon and send the text. I also have tlert. If someone texts me then it pops up on the lock screen and I can reply from there after unlocking the phone. I am relatively new to the iphone fad and am still learning all this stuff. Im just letting you know what is working for me and so far its not too much aggrevation to mms pics and stuff. Cydia has several apps that will probably do a better job if you are a megammstexter but I havent tried them so Im not sure. !! Also I just found out if someone sends me a mms it alerts me with a sound and then I have to go to swirlymms to get the mms.

wayback when there was a flaw on iPhone and iPad using simple webpage, running Cydia. But Apple had this addressed immediately.

Re: Will Apple Iphone unlocked work with Tracfone/StraightTalk
The thing to do is get the phone and etc with the sim... and try it with the iPhone... it could also be locked to that phone during packaging...?!?!?!?! I don't know.... I did have a buddy make a whole new carrier bundle for the iphone.... and it handles MMS, TXT, Voice, Data and Tethering... Its on a different forum....
iPhone 3G with Straight Talk..APN info??
I think if you take the ZIP file he mentions... unzip it to where its a true .IPCC file... and email it to yourself and use wifi on your iPhone. When you click on the .IPCC file attachment it should install all your settings... Not much time to experiment this morning... will update later today...

Re: Will Apple Iphone unlocked work with Tracfone/StraightTalk
I have a First generation jailbroken Iphone. 8gb. and a Samsung SGH-T401G. I originally used the iphone with T-Mobile until my parents decided it would be a good idea to switch to straight talk. I have managed to get the SIM card out of the samsung and put it in the iphone and also installed that mobileconfig app you posted before, It says no service though, i have tried resetting and retrying and I have had no luck whatsoever. Will this not work on my phone because its a 1st gen? or am i missing something here?

Re: Will Apple Iphone unlocked work with Tracfone/StraightTalk
I think i already know the answer to this questions... but I'll ask anyway...
when you turn your Samsung on... does it display a TRACFONE splash screen or anything??? If so, as far as I know you can't use that sim card... those sims get locked to the phones that are branded.... I don't know all the details but this is what I am finding out...

Re: Will Apple Iphone unlocked work with Tracfone/StraightTalk
oh, yeah it does, if i buy a different straight talk phone, such as the blackberry one, will work ? like the Samsung R355C, or it seems like everyones talking about the nokia E71, is that the one I have to buy to be able to use my sim in my iphone? just want to clarify and make sure.

Re: Will Apple Iphone unlocked work with Tracfone/StraightTalk
Do you have the $30 plan or the $45 plan that can be the difference why.. just like in the nokia e71 you need the $45 unlimited plan in order to work...i was reading some other thread and someone said they also tried it with a sim not of the nokia e71 and in the ipod settings they were able to see there number but had no service im guessing they had the $30 plan u should give it a shot..
