The SMS/MMS feature is provided and managed by your carrier. Have you given T-Mobile a call to determine the issue?
One other thing to consider and that is whether you can make and receive phone calls with the T-Mobile network. If you cannot, then ensure that you have an active T-Mobile service on your iPhone. Did you insert the T-Mobile specific SIM card in your iPhone?

The complete reset seems to be working. Apparently moving from one carrier to another takes more than just a network reset - there are some configurations that need to be removed.
In any event - no problems experienced in the last couple of days since the reset.
That is good news. Just want you to note that when I have changed carriers, then I never had to do anything different. My iPhones have also automatically reconfigured for network settings upon change of carriers. But, that is under my specific settings and it does not apply to every single person. In the end, you have this thing resolved and therefore I am glad for you. Enjoy the holidays!

Thanks for the suggestions. I worked with T-Mobile today but they were not able to determine what the cause of the problem was. I did a complete phone reset and hope that will resolve the problem.
Let me know how it goes after the reset of your iPhone. Thanks.
