Android Alliance

Good evening Note 7 Alliance members,

I finally decided to purchase a Prepaid T-Mobile SIM card for my VZW Note 7. I can make and receive calls as well as send and receive texts just fine. I really haven't paid much attention to whether that's because I'm mostly on WiFi or not. A few things that I have realized is that I cannot send or receive MMS texts. I tried switching it from WiFi to Data, which is what I used to do when I was on VZW, but it still does not work. What am I doing wrong and is anyone else having this problem with the switch from VZW to T-Mobile? FYI- I have a 1st generation Note 7 with the white battery (still at 100%) and the 1st version of The Shield is still going strong. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like you don't have the correct APN settings on your phone. try this:

Unpack the downloaded zip-file, look for T-Mobile MMS in the unpacked.

Then go to settings - connections - apn in your phone settings.
Look for T-Mobile MMS there and edit according to the content in the unpacked xml file.
If there is no apn for T-Mobile MMS add one and make the settings as above.

Thanks but all of that is a totally foreign language to me.

Not sure if you figured this out but I found the below and changed one thing without doing the APN XML file.
APN & data settings

From any home screen, pull down screen and tap Settings icon.
Tap Mobile networks > Access Point Names.
If available, tap the T-Mobile US APN (the bullet point fills with green). If not available, tap Menu > New APN.
And update the following settings for the Data APN:

Tap the desired APN profile you want to use. The bullet point fills with green next to the APN profile
