Go to the my.t-mobile.com website and log in

up at the top-right of the screen (next to support) type in 'Device Configuration' in the 'Ask T-Mobile' box

under 'What is... blah blah blah... configurator?' click on the link to use it

select the make and model and get the settings for the t-zones service and the MMS service (follow the simple on-screen instructions) and all done

There are SMS and MMS settings that must be entered into a GSM cell phone that are dependent to the GSM carrier. AT&T's settings are pre-programmed into an AT&T branded phone, and T-Mobile's settings are preset in a T-mobile phone. These settings are not removed or changed when you unlocked the phone. What is changed is the ability to use the phone on any GSM network in the world, with a proper SIM. So your solution is to call T-Mobile customer care to help you setup the Message Center information. You could also try this web site, but I am unable to verify if the information works.

LG shine, with tmobile as my carrier . dont know mms settings

MMS seettings stands for multimedia message settings.

It is used to send digital pictures tones etc from one person to another in the form of messages through these settings..

All you need to activate it is call the tmobile customer care services and place a request to get it activated ..

Activation will be free but once you send pictures or tones you will be charged..

So please do call t mobile and get the mms services activated if you need them..
