Hello i just received my sci phone i9 +++ today and everything works great but i just cant receive text and mms messages please help! im really struggling

R U using microsoft Word or what......?????

Hi,
Welcome to Fixya. The reason why you can't use the internet or receive a picture message is because you need to save the GPRS and MMS settings of T-mobile on your phone. For the settings you need to contact the so that they can provide you the right settings like the APN the HTTP link and other settings. after you have save the settings you will be able to use the internet on your phone and will be able to send and receive MMS.
Thanks

You must make sure if this is supported by the phone- the MMS- and if the frequency is correct to the network youa re in.
Please consult once again with your network T mobile to confirm if this model works.

i cany send text messages but i can receive text meeages

get settings for mms seperately,,

contact customer care to send you text message service center number and to fully activate your mms settings.

If you have a I9 you must go to this site. very helpful every question you have has been asked at this site. Regestration is free.

Most setups are listed directly on this site. I took this qute from someone asking the same question.
I didnt see the thread they were ytalking bout, but they are suggesting stting it up like the Nokia 2610. I would recommend posting this question again on the above site. Below is what I copied from there.

Hi I'm in Sydney and use Optus mms and wap with no problems. If you look in this thread under the topic Easy configure MMS. Follow the instructions to the Nokia site for the 2610 and you should get a text back to set up MMS and the internet. Good luck It worked fine for me.

You will need to configure your i9 for Cingular manually. You can find a manual with the GPRS and MMS settings at http://chinamanuals.com

I have the phone and have had the same problem. I found I have to add the "1" before the area code to all the saved contacts or at least the ones you use most and that should fix it... when the text message is received it has the "1" normally we don't save the number that way...

No, but you will need a working GPRS connection to receive MMS messages. This is the same like you need for internet services. Check if GPRS is available. If you need settings for it, find them here.
