As you would know that Apple doesn’t released MMS feature for iPhone 2G. But jailbreak community can still enjoy it. You still have a chance to enable MMS on iPhone 2G OS 3.1.2 using Native MMS iPhone 2G from Cydia.
You need to jailbreak iPhone first in order to get Cydia and then install Native MMS iPhone 2G. Use the custom firmware or the iPhone guide to jailbreak your iPhone:
- Download iPhone OS 3.1.2 Custom Firmware (IPSW Files) for iPhone 3GS, 3G, 2G
- How to Jailbreak iPhone 3GS, 3G OS 3.1.2 with PwnageTool 3.1.4 (Mac)
Enable MMS on iPhone 2G OS 3.1.2
Use this guide at your own risk. You may also end up restoring your iPhone.
Assuming that you have jailbroken your iPhone and have got Cydia on your SpringBoard.
Open the Cydia, and install iFoneGuide repository. In order to do this go to Search Tab and search for iFoneGuide. Tap on it and Install it.
Once you have install the repository, now search for Native MMS iPhone 2G and install it.
Once the installation is done, go to:
Settings > General > Network
and and input required parameters for your carrier.
That’s it, enjoy MMS on iPhone 2G 3.1.2. This should also be working on OS 3.1 but we have not tested it.
have fun! and also checkout how to enable tether on iPhone 3.1.2. and don’t forget to follow us on twitter.
I have add the repo, installed the Native MMS for iPhone 2G, rebooted the phone and nothing happens. I do not see the parameters to fill in in the network settings neither I can see the camera button in Messages App.
Any idea?

I followed the guide and every thing was right. and rebooted my iphone bt nothing happened.
u should see this guide iphoneheat.
2 people are also complaining the same problem.
i have the same problem. i followed the guide and there is nothing.
What is the problem???
Something is missing! Help please!
I think you need to do following steps to activate you mms:
Add this Repo: http://www.sinfuliphonerepo.com
Install “Enable MMS for 2G & 3.1.2”
After instalation, your Iphone will reboot.
Still not working for me! Enable MMS for 2G & 3.1.2 did not install right, and my phone locked up.
my 2g iphone locked up…I followed every step too!
I did get mine to install. MMS looked just like on other phones, but the APN? was not filled in. I tried and tried to get it to work, sent e-mail to the folks at Sinfulliphone but not luck. After unlocking my batt life was shit less then 2 hours using it. Batt would go down in standby. I then relocked it till I hear from someone.
Same here. doesn’t work
I have a iphone 2g 3.1.2. The MMS settings I input arent’ saving.
DAMN! I’m starting to hate apple, this is bullshit!
If you type the same APN setting on MMS as on cellular data, it will save. Just a constatation, did help me receive MMS but not send.
Just try to reset the setting , and work.
Can send MMS.
Setting > General > Cellular Data Netwrok
Tap on Reset Setting
The MMS save, but cellular data become default
Does anyone know the settings to use for AT&T?
I’m pretty sure att knows when you are using the 2g iphone. As soon as it is recognized, MMS is immediately blocked. I know this because when i swapped the sim from my nokia, I was able to get 1 MMS message to go through. However, after that nothing worked again.
got it to work..but i cannot receive..any ideas????
Followed the instructed and installed everything. Camera icon and MMS setting showed OK. However, the MMS APN will NOT save unless it matchs to the internet APN. I’m currently using T-mobil; the internet APN is: internet2.voicestream.com
MMS setting I have:
MMS apn: wap.voicestream.com
MMSC: 216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
if i set the the apn to wap.voicestream.com, MMS works fine, but then internet will not work since it needs to be set to internet2.voicestream.com. If APN are set to different value, the MMS APN will simply disappear.
Any fix yet?
MMS apn: internet2.voicestream.com
MMSC: 216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
Set APN and MMS APN to internet2.voicestream.com
has anyone tried this on 3.1.3 yet? I had to upgrade to it so i could get wifi to finally work again. everything works fine on 3.1.3 except native mms?
MMS Native for 2G is not working. BS.
TRY MMS Enable for 2G 3.1.2 seems ok.
Good luck.
MMS apn: internet2.voicestream.com
MMSC: 216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
Set APN and MMS APN to internet2.voicestream.com
i get teh camera icon in the left corner and i have both APNs set to internet2.voicestream.com, but my pictures won’t send.
any solution?
Worked like a charm first time around. I put in the MMS APN as the same as the APN to internet2 and both my data and now MMS works fine for receiving and sending. I’ve been going crazy about this. Thanks so much. 2G Iphone on 3.1.2 Tmobile with Tzones data
hi synapses – what are your settings? im still trying to get mine to work. TIA!
I have a 2G 3.1.2 and nothing I’ve tried works. Synapses would you mind sharing all the settings you have for both the data and mms? For me, internet2 works for the 9.99 plan and I have full internet, but can’t send or receive messages. Thanks.
I installed it exactly per instructions and it loaded fine. Cannot send pic though, as it hangs up about 95% through the sending bar at top. What gives??
Hello,
i don’t get a camera icon on my native sms app. Could someone please tell me what could be wrong. i followed exactly the instruction but no sign of the icon. Plus, i also can’t save the APN, password and …
i’ll really appreciate any suggestion.
synapses, what are your exact settings? I am using the following settings:
APN: internet2.voicestream.com (for Cell and MMS)
MMSC: mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/ms/wapenc
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.050:8080
MMS Max Message Size: 1048576
MMS UA Prof URL: http://www.apple.com/mms/uaprof.rdf
At first I used as MMSC: 216.155.174.84/servlets/mms, but I was not able to send or receive photos. I changed it to mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/ms/wapenc and I was able to send, but still cannot receive.
Any help or suggestion is appreciated.
Cool
Sorry, I meant:
mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
