How to setup STC (Aljawal) Mms on iPhone 3.0 OS

re Today I found a new thing about the iphone services and I wanted to share it with you. As you know that the way of sending the messages whether SMS or MMS in iPhone are from a single location the (messages) and the the iPhone its self determines whether the message is to be sent as SMS text or as MMS (if there is an image in the message). But it is very hard to know how to configure our mms setup to make it able to send and receive mms . Well I JUST found out about that and here is the way :

Go to Setting ---- general-----NETWORK----- CELLULAR DATA NETWORK ;look below "mms" and put your service provider SETTING , here are the one for the STC ( Saudi Telecom) FOR other service providers you might find the setup infos at this link.

STC SETTINGS:
There are several setting , all are working but if you had any problem may because the connection is temporary not available so try another time within 2 minutes. I f after 2 minutes it did not work change the setting to the next one

setting 1
  • in APN put mms.net.sa
  • leave user name and password field as blank ,(do not put anything )
  • in MMSC write mms.net.sa:8002
  • MMS Proxy write 10.1.1.1:8080
setting 2

  • APN mms.net.sa
  • MMSCmms.net.sa:8080
  • PROXY 10.1.1.1:8080
setting 3
  • APN mms.net.sa
  • MMSC mms.net.sa:8002
  • proxy 10.1.1.1:8080
  • user : pps
  • password : pps
setting 4

  • APN mms.net.sa
  • MMSC mms.net.sa:8002
  • proxy mms.net.sa:8080
  • user : wag
  • password :1234


Then reboot your iPhone by holding the power button until the red arrow appears then ,slide it to power off,.

AFTER that ,turn on your iPhone and go to Setups>>>messages>>>Show subject Field , make it ON

Now Go to messages, it will ask you to put your mobile number , do that . Subsequently , When writing a new message you will find that now the message box has split into two halves .
The first half, is the Subject ....The second half is the message. Now if you want to send a text message .... Just type what you want in the second half mainly .... you can Leave the first half empty. When sending an mms you can write in the first half for example ; message,in the second half write your full message and click on the camera logo to add an existing image or to take a new one then add it.
That's and enjoy the service.
PLEASE comment below to tell me if it worked with you as it worked with mine .

Hi

Although I got the icon in my messages to take photo or choose existing one, I am unable to send messages..it doesn't go on and when I send any pic, I get an exclamation mark... I am not receiving any messages too!

Could you help?

Thank you SOOOO MUCH Acid for your feed back , you know i did a mistake in my post up and you made me realize what i did wrong. You see in MMSC WE SHOULD PUT only mms.net.sa not mms.net.sa:8002
try it out and tell me if that fixed the problem , thanks again

Acid said...

Its working now! Thanks!!!
Even you did that error but I also made one! I entered the APN in CELLULAR DATA field right above the MMS instead of APN in MMS... :)

Once again thanks! You can always stay in touch through my website and forum: http://www.islamic-life.com and http://www.islamic-life.com/forums

We may have something in common to share ;)
