is it different that the settings mention above?

For those who still fail to send mms.. dont give up. Actually i also having problem before on sending a mms via SwirlyMMS.

But, after few weeks, just now i am succesfully sending my first mms from my iphone.

This is the trick (is it a trick?), i am maxis user and i never upgrade my simcard to have a 3g function. Fyi, I am using SwirlyMMS 0.3.8.

In SwirlyMMS, on setting..

Wrote this.. :


APN: unet
APN name: maxis
APN password: wap
WAP gateway: 202.75.133.49
MMSC: http://172.16.74.100:10021/mmsc

AND at iphone Setting, still the same :

APN : unet
UserName : Maxis
Passwrd : wap

Just for your info,while i get these setting correct.. the 'M' Symbol beside battery Icon will turn GREEN instead of usual YELLOW/BROWN.

I am not so good at this, but my iphone succesfully sending MMS through this method. Heh.

Happy trying..

should i ON mu edge? to make work this out

u mean MU = My??

off course u need to enable/switch ON EDGE via Bossprefs if use it.

got it works men...
thanks a lot...

wah.. kewl man.. so happy to help other iphone user..

rupanyer the network setting havent setup yet.

but it is strange yet surprising that without the setting previously, i already able to surf the web and downloaded more than 31mb of data...

iphone is sure special type..

hmm.. maybe its is just to enable MMS function.. otherwise for surfing purpose... ur previous setting would be enuf.. i guess.. hehe

my maxis simcard is 3g...
and its gud to have now...can send mms...yeah

but like i said, when i go to the network setting... there is no EDGE setting at all. if no setting, mana ada previous setting...

i see.. then maybe u r definitely true.. iphone is surely special type phone.. haha

P/s : Or maybe just maybe, u are in wifi connection when u surfing..

aduih... mana ada wifi in my car la... lol!

just to share something with you guys.

for maxis users, if your 3g service is active (applicable to most contract users and a very handful hotlink users), opt for unet.

on the other hand, if its inactive, use net instead.

to check on your status, its easy. just ring up the maxis operator.

out-of-the-box hotlink sim cards can only support up to 2.5G (edge) whilst the new (or those who updated their sim card recently) will have the latest 3g sim cards.

on the other hand, these descriptions can be quite useless at times i have to say. i have tried numerous times with different sets of combination for example mexis, x y x y, la la la or leaving them blank, but somehow miraculously i can still surf the net via gprs or edge. bosspref is still the best 3rd app available right now.

of course hsdpa, 3g, edge, gprs and wap are merely indications and doesnt necessarily guarantee the advertised speeds. they depend a lot on the network (of course) and the signal strength. hence your mobile phone might be showing a '3g' icon but you can end up with a speed worse than a gprs connection. this can also be used to explain why digi's edge is far more superior than maxis'.




disclaimer: nokia2003 aka BlackBerryBloke is on the maxis postpaid network and is in no way connected to any of the telecommunication providers.

unfortunately, maxis dun have unlimited edge plan, but by the way, if applying for 3g unlimited, it will use edge also right, maybe can make it unlimited.?

i dun want to use edge since i am a 5 years maxis customer,and all my friends also use maxis,
P/s: i still use maxis eventhough the service suc*s at my village..sob sob, when they will put more tower, i dun know.....

well, even if your phone is non-3g, its best to use 3g setting instead of the WAP setting. i am not sure why, but last time i try set using WAP setting on a non-3g phone, and cannot connect but when use 3g setting.. it can surf the web.

my maxis simcard already 3g, and im happy for it..

doesnt matter, the unlimited plan here simply mean unlimited data usage irrespective of the connection type.

i will quote an example to support my claim. lets say you are currently using a hsdpa phone with the maxis unlimited plan data and you are using 3g/hsdpa just fine around the major city area and suddenly you end up at a kampung area where the fastest speed that they can support is merely gprs.furthermore, there is no difference to the price that you are being charged since most telco providers charge per mb of data anyway.

but for digi yes, even with a hsdpa phone, the highest speed that you can get is edge. that probably explains why digi's unlimited data plan is way cheaper than its close rivals.

agree with the statement above.

i once filed a complain to maxis for unlimited data package (i sengaja wan) bcoz it keeps on using gprs instead of 3g. then the maxis people called me up and clarify the situation above.

if i am not mistaken there 2 type of connection plans, one for hsdpa(1.8mbps) and on is for 3g(384kbps)...

well i just checked the maxis website; there is one type of unlimited data plan regardless of the connection type; rm99 (exclusive tax) per month.


i believe the so-called split connection types that you have mentioned, is only being offered by celcom (not maxis)
