MMS problem sending/ receiving - Celtel Kenya
Jun 11 2008, 1:01 AM EDT
I recently purchased an AT&T tilt and had it unlocked. Everything is working fine:- email, browsing, SMS except MMS. My GSM service provider is Celtel – Kenya and has given the setting below. Kindly assist with the picture messaging settings.

Celtel WAP APN wap.ke.celtel.com
User name wap
Password wap
Proxy IP 172.030.008.050
Port use 9201 if WAP 1.2 or 8080 if WAP 2.0

Note the WAP Port number may be either 8080 or 9201 depending on the WAP version on the handset, if you are not sure check www.gsmarena.com
If it’s WAP 1.2 or earlier then you will receive 9201 from the Celtel Network or should input it manually.
>If WAP 2.0 then 8080 will be sent by the Celtel Network or should be input manually.

Celtel MMS APN mms.ke.celtel.com
User name mms
Password mms
Proxy IP 172.030.008.050
Port 8080

Picture messaging (MMS) server = http://mms.ke.celtel.com/servlets/mms
Picture messaging (MMS) retrieval URL = http://www.ke.celtel.com/mms

The Portal URL = http://portal.ke.celtel.com in case its not stored as a bookmark from the network settings download, which is true for a few handsets

Call the 1800 number they provided with your purchase. they should bee able to help u. You gonna need to call from a different phone coz they will ask u to open n take off the battery.

E-mail me if u can't find the 1800 number. drjey_phd@yahoo.com

Take it easy Mundu wa Nyumba.

It is highly unlikely that Obama would sort this one out. I'm several continets away from the US.
If someone would point me in the right direction, i would be very greatful.

MMS to and from Kenya I know is a nightmare. From England it is still not possible.
Kenya is still in the dark ages.

We finally figured how to get it working. Not the most scientific way though. We configured the HTC for MMS. Then removed the SIM card and used a different phone (not a windows PPC) to sent an MMS. After that we returned the SIM card to the HTC and the MMS started working. We did the same to my colleague’s phone and it is also ok. The only problem is that the picture received on the other end is smaller! Do you find this valuable?

Hey I found out how to fix this. I was having the same problem.
1. go to MMS options
2. click on the Servers tab
3. click on T-mobile MMS
4. where it says "Connect via:" make sure you select T-Mobile Data.

I hope this helps
