MMS settings for iMATE on Vodacom

[dwsteyn]

Can anyone tell me how to configure my iMATE PDA2K to receive (and send)MMS. I have two MMS messages in my inbox, I can click on download but no luck - only get this icon "MMS Receiving". Any althouhg I bought the phone from Vodacom it is not on their list of supported phones... PS. My GPRS is already working for my pushmail service.

You need to get the i-mate to automatically connect to the MMS APN to retrieve the incoming MMS.

I got my i-mate working as follows. It's older than yours but the same concepts should apply:

1) Create a connection under Setting->Connections->Advanced-Select Networks.

Under 'Programs that connect to the internet', create a new setting called MMS. Under that create a new connection called mms.gprs with the APN set to mms.vodacom.net

Don't set the MMS connection as the default otherwise your browsing won't work. Leave the default on internet.gprs.

2) Go to the MMS app and then to Options->Servers

Create a new server called MMS with gateway 196.6.128.6 and home page http://mmsc.vodacom4me.co.za.

3) Go to Options->Preferences

Under Connect via: Select MMS
Under Connect to Server: Select MMS

This should get you up and running. The two MMS's already received probably are lost as the MMSC will think it did deliver it to you, so send and receive new MMS's to test.

If you still battle, PM me a contact number and I'll give you a shout.
