Hi,

I've just observed a very weird phenomenon on both my iPhone 3G and 3G [S] and would like to check with the rest of the forummers here if this is something that's being faced by just me or it's an across the board issue.

Issue
When 3G is OFF, I am unable to send/receive any MMS.
When 3G is ON, I am able to send/receive MMS.

I've been asked to do a clean restore to my 3G [S] and will do so in a short while.  Hopefully, everything will be back to order then.  Will report back if it works but if anyone else is having this issue, it'll be good if U can report it here so I know I'm not facing this battle alone 

@Tink
Yup. If you turn off the mode of transport, the "passenger" will go nowhere.

@harmeet15,
Er... my 3G is switched on so I should be able to receive MMS.  If stringfellow's right then I shouldn't have anything to worry about but if his theory is right that should be the case for all of us too ! *ish*

I even went down the road of restoring my entire phone but my conclusion is still the same, MMS doesn't work if 3G is OFF.

@boogie78,
Er.. MMS is through data connection so U should be paying for data connection charges

@harmeet15,
It's weird I know but I can only hope string is absolutely right cause I tried the entire night and ended up restoring my 3G [S] thrice [and that can get pretty tedious!].  Since you're on Maxis and didn't do anything to your 3G [S], whatever your settings should be my settings and whatever works on your unit should work on mine!

@baretta,
The Maxis sets do not have APN settings
