Native MMS for iPhone 2G running iPhone OS 3.1.2

Posted on 7th of December 2009 by aharen

Hey guys, it’s been a while since I posted anything. Well it’s been very hectic at my work since Christmas and New Year is just around the corner. Hopefully I will be posting more frequently from now on. So here goes.

I’ve been asked by many of you about MMS on iPhone 2G. Me myself aint a that big fan of MMS, but i did a little googling and some testing on my iPhone and it seems its not that hard to do. Before we start, I only tested this on my iPhone 2G running iPhone OS 3.1.2 and it works perfectly. It may or may not work on other OS versions, so please let me know and try at your own risk. And this works only if your iPhone is jailbroken and the app or modification used in the little tutorial is not my work and i do not claim it, it is the work of http://www.ifoneguide.nl/ I am only writing this little tutorial :)

Now that that’s out of the way, lets get start. First you will have to add the repository to Cydia if you dont have it added. So first open up Cydia. and goto Manage.

Now select Sources and search for iFoneguide repository. If you cannot find it you will have to add it. To add, tap Edit and then tap Add, which should pop a little box where you type http://cydia.ifoneguide.nl and tap Add Source, which will add the new source for you. Once the source has been added it should look similar to the screenshot below.

Now select Search and search for Native MMS and it will show you Native MMS iPhone 2G tap that and install it. Once the installation completes restart your iPhone.

After the reboot goto Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data Network and you should have MMS setting when you scroll down just like the screenshot below.

Thats it. Now you just make the MMS settings for your mobile operator and you got MMS working on your iPhone.

Hope this helped you guys and do let me know of any questions or queries that you may have in the comments.

Happy Holidays to all :)
