MMS /Internet Woes

Hi guys, I have an android phone currently running 2.3.4 stock ROM (rooted)

Firstly let me say, I have tried every setting and every combination possible to get this working and I have read all the stickies. The issue is I cannot get Data or MMS to work on Telecom XT network.

Just as a check, I put my 2degrees SIM in the phone, and the android pulled the APN settings down correctly and I could send and receive MMS with no troubles.

When I have my XT sim in the phone, it pulls two APNs (telecomData and telecomMMS) all the settings are correct.

I can send an MMS to myself, it will send ok (a little blue "H" logo shows up in the status bar and I get a message saying data connection to TNZ has been established. The messages arrives in the inbox and when I click download it will either give an error saying message could not be downloaded, or no message at all and just returns the download button.

The same issue for internet, disabling wifi and leaving the 3g data connected I open a browser and get page cannot be displayed.

The same XT sim worked in an old nokia phone for internet and MMS, another 2degrees sim works in the android for internet and MMS.

I am really going crazy here, I deleted all the APNS, and just left the mms, I changed the default APN to have the mms setting, nothing worked. i could always send it but never download it. Have rebooted many times, have factory reset about 3 times.

Would love some ideas.. I am pretty sure its not a settings issue anymore, perhaps a software issue?
 
Ask Telecom for sending a SMS which will set internet and MMS at your phone automatically.

My carrier (T-Mobile) did this successfully on my phone :)

Unfortunately they don't offer that..

Ok so I deleted both the APN's and tried to send myself an MMS, it failed to send. Which I guess in this case is a bad thing, because that tells me the settings I had were correct and there is some other problem.

There is talk of certain radio roms not working for mms, how do I check if this could be my problem? or does the fact I'm using stock rule that out?
 
I can now browse the web over the 3g connection. Not sure exactly what changed I wa sjust playing round with the APN settings, I still can;t download pxt/mms. I have two APN's a default one and the mms one. does the fact the 3g data works mean the issue is a settings one and not an issue with the radio firmware?
