Get SwirlyMMS to work permenantly!
Posted on January 22nd, 2009
Recently I went ahead and bought the SwirlyMMS app. It’s the best, and I think the only MMS app for the iPhone. It also works great. Now many people who use a jailbroken iPhone, also have the SwirlyMMS app.
Many people have experienced problems with sending, and receiving MMS on their iPhone before. This is because AT&T blocks MMS off of those sending, and recieving from the iPhone device. They do “sweeps” everynight to check if you are using MMS on iPhone.
I’m not exactly sure, why they don’t allow MMS on iPhone. BUT Anyways, I’ve had this problem before, and I’m not even on the iPhone plan… On the web there are many ways to fix this… that simply don’t work!
Usually on SwirlyMMS the error you get back is : “unexpected http response” – Many people post that calling AT&T and hoping for the best is all you can do, once it is blocked. NOT TRUE!
Remember, when you use the internet on any phone, AT&T will figure out what device your using. So the solution is simple. I’m not a phone expert, or a sim card expert. But I think some things are saved to the SIM Card. Thats where I found this idea for the solution.
All you have to do is take your SIM card out of your iPhone, and put it into another AT&T phone. Then on the other phone, just load a few pages on MediaNET, and maybe send a MMS or something. That way some of that phones information is saved to your SIM card (?i think…)
Anyways, put your SIM card back into your iPhone, and you will be able to send, and receive MMS. That’s all! You will never run into the http response error again.

This worked for me, for about a day:(
Now whenever I try to access medianet from a regular phone, it always says error or something along the lines of that:( I give up;(
Can’t wait for the 3.0 update!
Yeah, this has happened to me, AT&T pisses me off, I get the barred error now. Yeah, I definitely can’t wait for version 3.0, but I don’t feel like everyone should be getting excited about new features that should have been basic default functions on the iPhone, it’s all total bullshit. I may be in bootcamp when they finally release 3.0, and by the time I get out, they may be on 4.0 LOL… Anyways, I’ve found a great alternative for sending and receiving MMS. Well it works for me, my gf is on t-mobile, so we just MMS via email, I can send pics to her phone via hernumber@tmobile.com, and she send MMS to my directly to my email, I know it’s shitty, but it works for now. I also have a good app called “Multi Photo” that allows me to send multiple pictures in an email.
So yeah, just waiting for 3.0 now…
