[Q] Unlocked Lumia 800 and APN/MMS Settings

Hi all,

So I bought a factory unlocked Nokia Lumia 800 to use while travelling, and ideally I'd like to have it signed in to my US Live ID so that I can have my music with me while I travel (which is all Zune pass) and my paid apps and contacts etc., and have my AT&T microSIM in it before I get to Costa Rica, then switch to a Kolbi/ICE microSIM while I am in Costa Rica.

The issue is I can't seem to find any way to configure the settings for internet and MMS. Before signing into my Live account, I can see Network Settings app in marketplace, but then it goes away. I read online that if you hit ##634# it gives you a Diagnostic menu with options for MMS and APN settings, but when I do this the app has no settings option.

If I make a UK Live ID, I can download network settings, which detects and configures both AT&T and Kolbi/ICE, but I no longer have my music or paid apps.

How can I get this to work? If I use my US Live ID and AT&T microSIM and just add the Kolbi/ICE APN when I am in Costa Rica, will this work, except with no MMS?

Is there another way for me to install the Network Settings app with my US Live ID?

Is there any way to have my Live ID on the device, with the ability to use both AT&T and Kolbi/ICE web access? Or do I have to just use fake Live ID and network settings app and deal with not having my music and whatnot?

Help!

Apparently Nokia pulled the Network Setup app from the market due to Interop Security Bug, I've read they are updating it and it will return at some point

It works for indian market, not for others. I found that my MMS just works without app. It is strange because before restore it wouldn't work without having Network Setup installed and selected my provider from list. Now i can't get app but it just works, i don't know how :)

Did you have to do anything else for it to work (interop-unlock and all that) or did you just get it SIM unlocked with the PIN code and it just worked? I have an unlocked T-Mobile 710 that I'm using with Straight Talk AT&T SIM card, and I had to install the Tango ROM because I can't get MMS to work without the Network Setup app (which comes with Tango as an installed app).

My phone is simfree but TIM Italia branded. It seems that now somehow detect my provider settings without app. My phone isn't interop unlocked unfortunately. I think that major problem is US providers and i had a problem because i have an US Live ID
