MMS problem (from JB)

[Roger1111]

Hey guys I got my iPhone 5 yesterday. Restored from a backup of a jailbroken iPhone 4 and mms is not working. I can't send or receive pictures . I believe I did have a custom one or something from my 3G (carried it over from all my iPhones). Data works fine but the mms don't. I tried installing the custom apn via one website but it did not work. It disabled my data. I know I can setup as new phone but that's not an option for me.

Help please?

Why is restoring as new not an option? You can save the important things like pics and contacts. Not sure what your other options are. Have you tried to reset network settings?

I need the 3 years of texts for personal reasons. If it comes down to it, I'd rather keep them than have mms. Surely there's a fix for this? Not sure what the problem could be.... I tried all the AT&T ones here "unlockit"but nothing....

Yes I tried that. Even cycled airplane mode on also

I hate to say it but you might be SOL. I'd start looking into apps that save your texts...if there are any.

Reset Network settings. The only thing you'll lose is wifi login credentials i.e when you go round to your mates house and you usuall log straight onto his/her wifi you'll have to input the details again.


When you reset network settings, your phone will delete all existing settings and download the new ones.

I restored from a 4S that had been jailbroken although I upgraded to iOS 6 first & have no problems.

Thanks guys. I'll try to reset the network settings later today. I think I remember the problem now. A long time ago I had to download something apn settings related to send mms. This was before att allowed it or something. I'm assuming those settings have carried over from the 3G to the 4 and now to the 5.

Simply resetting network settings should clear this problem, another option would be to get the carrier settings for your phone in form of an .ippc file.
