I have AT&T with a Microcell installed. Works fine for voice and SMS messages, but I cannot send or receive MMS messages on the iPhone. The other 4 phones have no problem sending or receiveing MMS messages over the Microcell. When I send an MMS, it always gets an error, and if someone sends me an MMS, I receive it right after I go out of range of the Microcell. Does anyone else have this problem, and/or is Apple working on a solution?
iPhone 4, iOS 4.3.2
I have an AT&T Microcell and am having no difficulties. It is not a problem for most people so I would be very surprised if Apple is working on a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.
Basics from the iPhone User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device. Have you attempted these?
As noted by the previous poster, I don't believe this is a widespread issue. I have AT&T and a Microcell and we have 4 iPhones here in the family and none are experiencing the issues that you describe. If you have tried what the other poster suggested and it still does not function correctly, I suggest you try resetting the Microcell by disconnecting the power and reconnecting it. If that doesn't work, contact AT&T and have them check your account to ensure everything is provisioned correctly.
Yes, I have tried all of the above - resetting/restoring both the iPhone and the Microcell. Before posting, I did a google search on the problem, and based on the resutls, it does appear to be a widespread issue. One of my neighbors also has a Microcell (our neighborhood is a dead zone) and the same problem exists (works for every phone except iPhone). I have contacted AT&T, and they've sent a technician out to test the lines and check my setup, and they've swapped my Microcell twice. I've never had an issue with the other phones (Nokia, Samsung, Sony), but it's never worked with the iPhone.
I have the same problem. I can send MMS but will not receive until I leave the house and connect to the ATT network in town. I have an iPhone but my husband has an android. We are on Centurylink and have no actual ATT service for 8 miles.
No MMS w/AT&T Microcell
