How do I get my sim free Iphone 4 MMS messaging to work with T-mobile

I have a SIM-free iPhone from Apple UK purchased in the UK which while in the states I am using on t-mobile. I am having a problem with Picture messaging.
When a picture message is sent to me, I get an error message: "The media content was not included due to a picture resolution or message size restriction"
I can send photos to other phones but not receive.
apple support USA told me they are not trained on what to do about a Factory unlocked SIM-free apple iphone, as all US phones are tied to AT&T.
If any body has any Ideas or knows a setting I should change it would be appreciated. Thanks

T-Mobile told me they are having this problem with iPhone 4 and until apple gives them some information on this, which they won't as iPhone 4 is not officially supported by T-mobile as it is locked to AT&T in US. They have a work around for jailbroken phones but I do not wish to jailbreak. I was hoping some person cleverer than I may have worked this out and know of a setting

  • HT1515 How do i get my old AirPort Express (7years old) to work with my new Time Capsule?

    How do i get my old AirPort Express (7years old) to work with my new Time Capsule?

    Does anyone at Apple have help for this sort of question - I too have an old printer (HP LaserJet 5MP) that I would like to keep using on my Mac. (Mac OSX 10.6.8).
    I got it working by getting a USB cord that connects to it - but every once in a while it just stops working for weeks. The mac 'sees' it and it sends the data because the printer lights start blinking but then it just doesn't do anything. Is there no one who can tell me (and raterada) how to get some new life into these old printers. I would rather not add this (and a new toner cart) to the landfill just yet. . .

  • How do I get the camera on my Dell Monitor to work with my Mac Mini?

    ow do I get the camera on my Dell Monitor to work with my Mac Mini?

    If the camera registers itself as a standard UVC compliant Cameras (UVC = USB Video Class) then the Mac will recognise and use it with nothing else needed as the Mac has a built-in UVC driver. If it does not act as a UVC type device then you could look at the following third-party drivers.

    I have seen some reports suggesting that at least some Dell monitor models will act as UVC compatible webcams and should 'just work'.

  • How do i get a copy of IDVD and will it work with final cut pro x.

    I have a new powerbook. I've purchased final cut pro x because express is no longer available. My Mac didn't come with iDVD and I can't find a suitable dvd authoring tool. Please... some suggestions for DVD authoring or how to get a copy of iDVD and will it even work with FCPx.

    Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge.  (There are no realistic substitutes for iDVD.)
    408-996-1010
    800-692-7753
    If you are still within your 15 day return period,  nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick.  You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.
    If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11  (includes iDVD) on disk.
    IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

  • How do I get my contract free iPhone unlocked from the first network it was connected to?

    My husband bought me an iPhone 5 from Carphonewarehouse Wharehouse which was contract free. I then signed up for a sim only contract from EE but was miss sold a service which they do not provide so I have now cancelled that contract. When trying to buy another sim from another provider, the phone is locked to the EE network for which they say I have to contact Apple directly to have the phone unlocked? I have been back and forth on this one and it seems now that my wonderful Xmas present is rendered useless....because it seems that it cannot be unlocked! Does anyone have any ideas how I can solve this?
    Apple can you help because I have no idea where to turn to now?

    Apple has a extensive list of every iPhone that was made and each phone has its own number. On each number is a code that locks the phone to the service provider. The only way that Apple can change the code to your phone is if it is authorized by the service provider. So you will have to go back to EE and ask them to unlock your phone, and this will probably have an accompanying fee for unlocking as most providers do.
    The strange thing is that you bought your iPhone unlocked and it managed to become locked during this process. You should have just been able to put a sim card in from one company and then just put another in from a different without any issues.
    When dealing with EE make sure to raise that point if they try to charge you with an unlocking fee.
    Unfortunately Apple is not in a position that can help you, they will probably tell you to call your service provider.

  • How Many Versions of Unlock/Sim-free iPhone 3g?

    I'm getting confused on the various Unlocked versions of iPhone 3G sold throughout the world especially in countries like Hong Kong, NZ, Italy, Singapore etc.
    Some said its Factory Unlocked from Apple but some need to be unlock by the Telco. Some said it need to Sync with iTunes Store for the first time... etc...etc..
    Can someone help to clarify?
    Thanks.

    Certain Wireless carriers will sell them Unlocked.
    The price for an unlocked is pretty high.
    They are usually sold as unlocked already via the Wireless carrier. Not Apple.
    The only one I knew for sure was T-Mobile Germany way back. But never kept up on all the companies and how they sold them so my info is outdated. Sounds like you know more.

  • How do I get my Motorola S10-HD bluetooth headset to work with the iPhone5?

    My excellent Motorola S10-HD bluetooth headset worked fine with my 4S but I can't get it to even be recognized by my new iPhone5...does anyone have a solution to this problem?

    Try resetting the sd10-hd .  That solved my problem. I was able to pair with my iPhone 5.
    Follow this link to instruction to reset the s10-hd, https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/ 59350/p/1422,2690,7709
    Essentially hold down the + and 0 (power button) until the LED turns blue. Then power off the headset and power on.  Put the iPhone in discoverable mode and they should now sync.

  • How Can I get my JayBird Freedom Bluetooth Earbud Headset to Work with my MacBook Pro-Retina

    I have a 1st gen iPad and a relatively new MacBook Pro 15 Retina.  As well, I also have a Jaybird Freedom Bluetooth Earbud Headset (Mic/Stereo Speakers).  Finally, I have a Droid X (I'll explain in a minute why I mention this).
    My BT Earbuds can pair with my iPad and my Droid X just fine.  As a matter of fact, it can bind with my iPad for audio, and my Droid X for phone audio at the same time.  However, even when the Droid X and the iPad BT is disabled (on both), my MacBook Pro will not work with the Bluetooth earbuds.  I am able to pair them (it shows as a Jaybird Freed Headset, and shows that it can be used as an audio output/input device), but when I try to use the earbuds for audio, it almost hangs up for a few moments, then finally fails and reports that "there was an errr connecting to your audio device.." with the "stop using headset" as my only option.
    My MacBook Pro Gen 2 with Snow Leopard used to be able to pair with this headset.  I'm not sure if it is the OS or the newew generation laptop.  I have seen a few other threads on this, but no fixes that work for me.

    Just posted a problem I'm having connecting my Jaybird Freedom and iPhone5 (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4716045). The Jaybirds connected fine with an iPhone4s and another (forgotten) device so I don't think the problem lies with the Jaybird. I'd be interested if you hear differently.

  • Locking sim-free iPhone with the first sim

    I'm going to get a sim-free iPhone, but I've been told that iphone would be locked to the first sim that is inserted. The problem is that I regularly commute between London and Berlin, and need to change my sim once a week or 10-day. I have a T-mobile contract in the UK, and O2 contract in Germany.

    As noted by Ingo2711 above, if purchased as officially unlocked, it will remain unlocked. The Apple store is the only place to do this. Be certain it is "Unlocked" as opposed to just "Sim free"

  • Does sim-free iPhone 6 support the 4G of cmcc?

    CMCC, China Mobile Communications Corporation is using LTE-TDD as 4G, which most of iPhones does not support. I've heard that the sim-free iPhone 6 might be fit with the 4G of CMCC, is that true? And some of my friends told me that iPhones start with A1586 can support the 4G of CMCC. Does sim-free iPhone 6 has iPhones start with A1586? Thanks!

  • Sim free iPhone 6 - How does it work

    Can someone help me understand how the sim free iPhone 6 works with all carriers?  I understand how the sim card works between GSM carriers like ATT and T-mobile, but for Sprint and Version the sim is used for the LTE data network not voice.  It servers a different purpose on a CDMA carrier vs GSM.
    So, if you purchase the unlocked iPhone 6 can you switch back and forth between Sprint and T-Mobile?  What is the process for the swap?   i.e., how does the CDMA part of the phone get programed to work on the Sprint network?.

    According to Apple you can use the unlocked phone on Sprint and Verizon.  Here is a portion from the Apply page about the unlocked iPhone
    About the Unlocked iPhone
    The unlocked iPhone includes all the features of iPhone but without a wireless contract commitment or a carrier installment plan. You can activate and use the unlocked iPhone on the supported wireless network of your choice, such as AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, or Sprint in the United States.
    I was also told by a Sprint rep that they will activate the unlocked iPhone 6, iPad Air 2, and the new iPad Mini purchased directly from Apple, but they would not activate a device purchased from another carrier and then unlocked. 

  • Hi, I have a contract with Orange on my iPhone 4s and I have bought a sim free iPhone 5, how do I transfer the sim accross?

    Hi, I have a contract with Orange on my iPhone 4s and I have bought a sim free iPhone 5, how do I transfer the sim accross?
    Will I need to ask Orange to provide me with a free nano sim and then ask them to transfer the number to that new sim?
    Thanks!

    If you buy the phone unlocked / SIM free from Apple it will not come with a SIM.
    You will need to contact Orange (how is up to you), to get a nano-SIM and then get them to transfer your phone account and number from the old SIM to the new.
    With O2, you can do this in an O2 Store, over the telephone, over the internet or via text message. Perhaps it is the same with Orange. No matter what though, you'll have to contact Orange to get a nano SIM so ask them the process at the same time.
