It seems a few people are having problems making SwirlyMMS work. I thought I’d do a little post, using my T-Mobile iPhone as an example. Obviously the settings will be slightly different, but I’ll also be giving you the details for other networks too. First off, you’ll be needing to add the source to your installer, otherwise you won’t get very far ! Add www.swirlyspace.com/SwirlySpace.xml and install.
Now you’re going to want to make sure that you’ve got your GPRS/EDGE settings correct. These are in Settings>General>Network. Obviously these will change depending on network, but I’ll link to where you can get the info at the bottom of the post.
Once that’s set you should be able to get at web pages etc with WIFI turned off. Now to fire up SwirlyMMS In here you want to select the ‘Settings’ button. Now you’ve got some more details to enter
MMSC and Proxy are the only ones needed, as you’ve just set the rest up through the iPhone’s settings. Now you should be able to take and send images as MMS messages. network details are below:

Great tip! – This had me up and running in no time at all. Just one point though. I had to input MMS details into the bottom form, while keeping my edge (GPRS) details in my iPhones network settings.
Glad it helped
Awesome, this got me up and running. Thanks Oli
Hi Dan. Glad you’re up an running!
You left out the details for AT&T… Any chance you could provide those?
Added for you !
this didnt work for me on vodafone uk…and couldnt access internet either afterwards…anyone help me???? !!! my internet works if i have ‘internet’ written in the apn box with user ‘user’ and pasword ‘user’….but mms on swirly doesnt!
Hi NK – Sorry this didn’t work for you. Anyone on Vodafone able to lend a hand?
Mine worked to send (in theory), but I didn’t receive it at the other phone. I’m with O2 (UK) simplicity.
Hi thanks works great Tmobile usa
Works for me too thanks
Mi Cell trabajo perfecto Gracias.
Glad everyone’s finding this useful still !
I am on Vodafone and done everything you said, but I’m getting a message saying ‘The network reported: service denied (pe). Does anyone know what this could mean? Is it a vodafone problem?
Its a good write up, but I can seem to recieve anything. Not even a notification. Im using t-mobile usa. I have everything set up correctly since my friend got my mms, but i didn’t get theirs. What do i do?
Thank you for tip, i am on Orange uk and i am recieving pics now!
I am running a T-mobile iPhone in the US, I need help setting it up so that it works on T-mobile’s edge. You said you would link where you could get the Settings>General>Network info at the bottom of the post but I don’t see a link. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
@Phil – Instead of linking I put the details you require at the bottom of the post. The T-Mobile (US) details are the third one down. Hope that helps !
hi im on t-mobile uk but keep getting fetch error! after using your settings – im guessing its to do with not being able to add the source to the installer…….am using cydia any chance you can give me instructions on how to install source….. thanks
@Sarah – Sorry, I don’t follow. Have you get SwirlyMMS installed? If so, I’m not sure how Cydia could be affecting things.
i followed ur steps and i already add the source into the source folder but how to install it?
[...] Try this, it’s the only one that got my mms working, don’t forget to select a phone type that your carrier supports in the SwirlyMMS settings. Sorry I forgot to mention that I use t-Mobile in the UK. Hopefully this might help. A guide for setting up SwirlyMMS | The-iBlog [...]

keep up the good work
@jansi – Glad it helped you out !
[...] from an iPhone? (Have not JB).. If you jailbreak and install SwirlyMMS you should be fine. Info here. __________________ signature and links removed by Admin – and I was only trying to help [...]
Do you need a data plan in order for swirlymms to work? I don’t have a data plan. Do I need one?
@ taurusx5 – I don’t know in the US. It all works differently over here.
keep getting fetch errors both on sending or receiving with settings above for t-mobile, any ideas?!
