MMS Settings (T Mobile Sim)

[Golfdundee]

I would appreciate any help / advice on how to get my MMS messages working on my new San Francisco phone.

I have an unlocked San Francisco with a T Mobile Sim. I have managed to set the APN for the 3G internet connection to work but cannot get the MMS to work????

I have tried the T mobile web site for settings but the description of fields to fill in do not match those on my new phone???

Ive been trying for hours now so would be grateful for some help.

Do I need two APN'S?? You can only highlight one at a time on the APN page??

Many Thanks

You need 2 APN's yep. For example I have a giffgaff APN and a giffgaff MMS APN. The giffgaff APN has the spot next to it.
