[Q] Turn off data and keep MMS?

---

How can I do that?

You mean on your plan? or on your phone?

On my phone. Right now, I have a gophone sim in it, and I don't want it connecting to the internet as it keeps using up money everytime it does.

I think APNdroid has that option. The only problem is it won't always cut off data unless you go toggle airplane mode or reboot.

You need data to receive pictures.

Question is irrelevant.

Well then bassahaulic, how can I make it to where data turns on ONLY for MMS?

I would like an answer for this as well. I don't want my data on all the time - it drains my battery. However, if someone sends me an MMS text while my data is off, I don't even get a notification. I don't even get the text once I turn data back on. I don't find that acceptable either.

Is there a workaround so that your data doesn't have to be on 100% of the time just on the possibility of receiving a MMS text?

Also - the same applies to when I'm on WIFI. I tested it out by having my wife send me one. On WIFI the phone screen turned on when the MMS text was sent (and I assume when I would've received it), but no notification. On 3G - I received the MMS Text.

I am currently using Handsent as well

Thanks for the suggestion. I gave it a try and did what you suggested (ran it with data off and then rebooted) but once I turned data back on, it wouldn't go back off using the toggle . Man, that would've been awesome if it had worked.

Any other suggestions?

I found that "APN OnOff" by Curvefish works perfectly for what I was looking for - can turn data off and still get MMS texts. Now to actually download the picture I need to turn data back on, but at least I know it's there, and that makes all the difference.

Only draw back to it is that you have to go into flight mode for the switched settings to take affect. I'm okay with that little nuisance though. Much better than rebooting the phone.

Thanks for the suggestions. This is a great forum.
