Hi there, I searched around and couldnt really find anything that would help me. I Am using an HTC Tytn 2 and my Service Provider is Rogers. I have a data and phone plan with them so i know i get to send MMS messages, as I have already sent them before. All of a sudden I cannot. They sit trying to send and then just sit in my outbox. Any Ideas?

Same problem here
I have the At&t tilt but unlocked it to work with Tmobile...Can't send or recieve mms. Dont have a data plan but have wifi in my home and it still says i can't download. Help please...Thanks
you guys need to read plain and simple...
so instead of just making a remark, could you not possibly point in the right direction. I bet it would be more useful
I have searched the forum and I keep finding sources that say you have to have data plan and use the e-mail function in order to send pictures. Am I missing something or is the TILT capable of sending picture texts? It seems sort of ridiculous for such an expensive phone to not have such a basic capability. Sorry if this is a retarded question but I cant seem to find the answer on the forum.

You don't need a data plan to send MMS. aka Picture text.
but it does access media net to send MMS if im not mistaken, so its not free, at least thats what Cingular reps say...LOL
alright i feel dumb asking this question but the only way i can seem to send a picture is through e-mail. how exactly do you send the picture text? i dont see the option through the texting
^ Messages>Menu>New>Multimedia Message
all hail strike one
i now feel at least 50% stupider than before because that was pretty obvious. thanks a lot strikeone
Keep one thing in mind when using MMS. Pictures & text cannot exceed 600k. It has something to do with AT&T's OTA servers or something.

so i tried to send the picture text and it seemed that i had to connect to the gsm network in order to send it. i have picture text in my plan but no data plan, is there any way i can do this for free without having to get on the network?
It will temporarily connect to Media Net. Don't worry, as soon as it's finished sending/recieving it will disconnect. If you have a picture messaging package, then any picture message less that 600k is free for you, unless it's sent to someone not on AT&T. I've been doing it for years & trust me, I don't get billed for internet usage. I promise!
thanks again vamp!
No problem, bro. That's why we're here.

^ yep, no problem .
Lets put it like this. When you send a picture, you do in fact access the internet. It is called a MMS (Multi Media Message). AT&T says as long as you have a SMS plan that allows MMS to send and receive, you will not get charged. However there is a size limit of 600k. As for my tilt, I keep the internet disabled. I Am too cheap for a data plan right now. I only enable my data when I know a MMS message is coming. If you don't have an internet plan through AT&T you can have what they call pay as you go data. You get charged for the usage by KB (Kilobytes). With the tilt and how it likes to access the internet all the time, this can get pricey. Just a FYI...
I'm having the same problem detailed in the followin post
"Unable to sign in to the MSN service. Please try again later.
(Detail: Sorry, the phone number cannot be read from your SIM card. Please contact your Operator for help.)"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=447101&highlight=messenger
though! I can't use meebo or other software since they don't recognize my installed modded local fonts.
for some great reason the device basic im does!
so I realy need to use it. google talk works great but I have less use for it..
only msn messenger seems to have a problem with my sim (why does it care so much?!?!). on the wifi every thing works great.
isn't there a work around? anywhere? some mod ? please? thanks!
If I'm correctly informed, MSNing from the G1 with Google Talk use SMS to send the text, not the real MSN way. So it's meebo or nothing, it seems. Unless your plan includes unlimited free SMS, it sounds like an expensive way to do messaging...

Thanks but nope.
MSN does not use SMS to send txt if you have a DATA plan like 3G GPRS or EDGE.
I used it frequantly with RC30 with no extra billing. I miss it allot
meebo doesn't work for me (with my modded local fonts) cant read or write..
Just need someone who knows andorid code. with my problem and can check droid sans RC30 patch code and see what they did on it and make an RC33 compatible patch
they wont relaese an RC33 patch.

Sorry, but I'm pretty certain you are wrong!
The standard IM client *does* use SMS messages for IM traffic for all protocols other than Gtalk, *unless* you are connected via WiFi.
I have a US phone with a UK T-Mobile SIM card - I can connect to MSN over WiFi without issue, but when I disconnect from WiFi and try to use a "cellular" data connection, I get the same message about not being able to read the phone number from the SIM card.

First of, if you get the error msg and cant use it, how are you so certin it will use sms to send the message ??
secound, I'm not a T-mobile user. I use the phone in Israel, using a sim-free phone with an ORANGE sim. I used the phone with msn for a month on msn chat so I know my local carrier does not charge me for the messaging.
I'm starting to think this all was a google/t-mobile concpiracy to make people use gtalk on the one hand and pay sms bills to tmobile on the other. when people were angrey to see the bill google decided to block the msn software on rc33 with 3g.
anyway sansandroid said they will release an rc33 patch (hope they can) asap.
so my hopes are with them now..

I can't use it *now*. When I bought the phone, I was in the US using a US T-Mobile SIM and it worked then. This was on RC29, and later RC30.
Google has also confirmed that it doesn't work without a US T-Mobile SIM (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1330#c2)

i can recieve pictures but i cant send them idk y like i send one and it says its waiting or the message is not downloaded or something like that im trying on handcent and its not working my connection is good nothing wrong with it so please help me out thanks in advance
if your confident the settings are correct and you've rebooted your device the chances are the network isn't sure what your handset is and is refusing to accept or deliver the messages.
do you get nay error messages? I'd check with the network your using - I work for UK network and they initially allowed picture messages from the N1 but ti stopped shortly afterwards because the imei isn't on a recognized list and they send them to web portal that i can access, this is pretty standard for most networks when using unaccredited devices - give them a call...

what should my setting be?
