Default Unable to send SMS/MMS to AT&T Phone

My girlfriend has a Samsung Captivate and she can send me SMS/MMS but I cannot send her.

I have called AT&T Tech Support and also T-Mobile Tech Support, nobody can give me solid answers or resolutions.

Our workaround is to use that TiKL Touch2Talk Application for messaging, but this is simply annoying!

Anyone? Ideas? Also, anyone wish to PM me a phone number if they use AT&T so I can test with your line?

Thanks a lot guys,

Michael

Try going into Settings/Wireless and Network/Mobile Network Settings and then Access Point Names.

See if there's an APN showing T-MOBILE US then underneath epc.tmobile.com

If there's nothing then click the menu key on the bottom left and select New APN.

Either way make sure it matches these settings.

Name: T-Mobile US
APN: epc.tmobile.com
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
User name: Not set
Password: Not Set
Server: Not set
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.tobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS proxy: Not Set
MMS: port: Not Set
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication type: None
APN type: Internet + MMS


Hope this helps.

I'm referring to sending MMS messages. MMS has always been an issue even on the Vibrant. Oh BTW! removing the dashes is one of the quick fix that you can do to fix the MMS sending issue! if you use the search bar you will see what i'm talking about... soo search around this forum instead of asking and laughing at the someone who is trying to help with your situation. I suggest go find help somewhere else!
