Downloading MMS without medianet.

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: Dman007

I got a Samsung i620, but I don't have a data plan or medianet. Just reg service with unlimited texts. But how do I get MMS's is it even possible? I know Verizon used to have this thing where you could get it from there website. Does AT&T have the same feature?

MMS's should be included under unlimited texts. There might be a size limit on the pics (it was 300kb) but they may have lifted that restriction, I'm not sure.

You have to have data connectivity either to receive the MMS directly to the phone or to retrieve it from a website with your phone. The data may be pay per use. If it is pay per use, you will use data to retrieve the message from a website but use no data to receive the MMS directly to your phone. If you have no data connectivity at all, a text message will be sent to your phone pointing you to a website reachable with a computer.

You wouldn't happen to have that link off the top of you head would you?
I don't recieve any link, it attempts to download on my phone then I get an error message.
"Unable to download"
Then no other link or messages come through.

The link is created on the fly. This usually occurs if one is using a phone without MMS or data capability, for example the Motorola C139. Do you have data turned off on your line? Did you configure the MMS and Internet settings? It is not automatice unless you have an AT&T branded phone.

I get no such link, after attempting to DL. Error "1 of 1 message(s) couldn't not be downloaded" then it just goes back to the home screen.
I have a Samsung i620, on the AT&T network. I checked over the MMS options non of which seemed to help.

SInce your phone is MMS-capable, you would not receive the text message. You have to find the Connections settings in the menu and enter the information for MEdia Net and MMS. All Windows Mobile phones have similar menus. Look on page 154 of your manual for the places to enter the settings.
The settings are device independent. There just are different places to enter the settings on different phones. These are settings from a Motorola V600. Enter the appropriate information in the fields available for your phone. There might not be a place for all the settings.
