Unlocked (not jailbroken) Iphone 4 on Walmart Family Mobile - tried everything - won't send MMS PLEASE HELP!

I have a former AT&T unlocked but never jailbroken Iphone 4 on ios 6.1.3. Everything works great on T-mobile through Walmart Family Mobile except for sending MMS / picture messages. I have literally spent 3 days trying to figure this out and have tried all the different settings I can find.

Called Walmart Family mobile and they said to ONLY put in this:

APN: epc.tmobile.com

MMSC: mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

Did not solve the problem. Anyone using a former AT&T Unlocked Iphone 4 and care to share their Walmart Family Mobile settings with me?

I have made sure all the settings are on, etc., have rebooted, etc. Nothing.

THANK YOU!!!

iPhone 4, iOS 6.1.3, Unlocked former AT&T iphone 4

MMS is a carrier function. You'll need to work with the carrier.

Unforuntnately I did contact the carrier (both T-mobile and Walmart Family Mobile) and they were no help. Walmart Family Mobile's customer service just gave the two items I listed above and had no clue on anything else.

I also called T-mobile and they were much more helpful than Walmart Family Mobile but still not able to provide the right settings to help me. T-mobile said it was an Apple problem and I would need to contact them, which I do not believe is correct - I simply need the correct APN settings.

I know there are others out there who have had this same problem and been able to fix it, so I am hopeful they see this post.

No problem...

Also there is no guarantee the Original Poster is still around and the quickest way for an issue/question to receive attention is to start your own discusssion.

Cheers.

I have a factory unlocked iPhone 4 that I just setup with straight talk. The apn settings they gave me would not allow picture messages to work. After some internet research I found a site with instructions for straight talk & T-Mobile/ Family Mobile. I deleted my straight talk apn profile before proceeding with the given instructions
