Telcel WAP/MMS settings

[John]

Libby recently purchased a camera phone, so we've been trying to figure out how to set it up to be able to send her pictures through email, and also to our new In The Roo Mobile Weblog. We finally figured it out, so I thought I'd post some instructions.

To activate your phone for MMS (Multi-media Messaging Service), you need to send the text message "ALTA" (no quotes) to the phone number 789. Then you need to wait about 24 hours for them to activate your service. You will either get a "success" or "failure" type response from the service after you send the message. The word "ALTA" needs to be capitalized!

After your service is activated, you need to make sure that your phone settings are correct for sending MMS messages. Here's some information I found online regarding the setup parameters:

John, I think I may bring mine to you to do. I bought the AT&T Tilt that does everything a computer does and a lot more, but I am only going to use it in WiFI mode and not pay for the data service as I have had that with my Blackberry before....................see ya soon
