xda cannot send pictures or sound in an mms?????

how come?

my mate has a 3650 on o2 payg and he cant surf the web using gprs unless he gets a dataplan, but he can use wap to surf the web

this is the same as the XDA on payg :\

but when it comes to mms the 3650 gets the points

the 3650 can send pictures or sound/video via mms using gprs mms but wouldnt it require dataplanto send this?

this is where the XDA looses as on payg there are no such dataplans avaliable to us unless we go onto contract. the mms on the xda sends text fine but when you add a picture or sound in it says message sending failed right away?!?!?

how come the 3650 can send pics ect... without having a dataplan and the XDA cant?!?!

could someone please give me some kind of idea?

the settings are exactly the same as each other but nothing from the xda :(

This is purely down to your operator. Because they only really want to deal with simple consumer phone devices, the support they give for the XDA is very limited: they don't want to open the can of worms of MMS on the XDA. EzWAP2.5 works but it's not 100% reliable.
Because of this, many operators pretend that they can't switch the 'MMS enabled' flag at their side that allows MMS on your account. They can: you just need to keep pestering them and try and get through to a sympathetic techie. This is probably what's causing the immediate failure.
Once the flag is set on your account, you need the correct settings for your provider - people have listed them for many providers in these fora so just have a search.

thing is though mms, gprs and wap are enabled on my simcard when i used to have a nokia 3510i i got it all done then i got my xda which was a huge upgrade for me and the best phone out i think :)

i spoke to the womanat o2:

hi can i set up an gprs data plan please for my sim ok one min hats your number....

blar blar blar....

your sim is already set up for gprs and mms

i know im on baout where you pay like everymonth for a few mb of gprs data download oh sorry not avaliable for people on payg

oh ok then bye

bye

hang up

that kinda is a bit ghey if you ask me.

orange let payg users do gprs dataplans

but why not o2? :(

The dataplan is irrelevant as you don't get billed for gprs usage when using mms. Even on an O2 contract you can't use mms on the xda either.

On pay and go you have gprs wap - which is what you need to use mms. But O2 aren't supporting mms on xda at all. When I spoke to O2 data guys they told me that they will be releasing another rom later this year that will support mms. The O2 website backs this up as well.

Once we have this then it should work on contract and pay and go.

i think they will leave that once the XDA2 is out all support and rom updates from them will stop for the xda 1 me thinks :| if not then cool cant wait :D
