Will this work for Cricket too? i can get wap to work (Instinct procedure) but MMS is a no go.

[rich hathaway]

no this will not work for cricket,you will have to change some fields.all you need is workshop,if you have it you do not need qpst. the rest is done on the phone,and you are right mms is not possible on this handset.if you cant find anything on this here hit me up and i will post a tutorial for this one for cricket.

[ljay67]

true, it's not possible. I only say use QPST for lesser advanced users or for people who can't afford it. I never work with cricket...however I do have my MMS working

[rich hathaway]

nice, is it incomming only?? if not that is like a miracle,please post it brother so we can try to adapt it to other carriers.did someone else put a reclaim out beside sprint or are you talking about the sprint reclaim?

[leadnerd]

If mms isn't working it's not fully flashed so I don't think this should be classified as fully flashed. Although there might be a way to do mms sort of on sprint phones. I will look into it on the morrow though.

[rich hathaway]

mms will not work with this phone. ever! never! did i say ever??
it is just different guys,sprint uses picture mail cricket and most everyone else uses traditional multimedia= no mms on sprint simple phones,unless there is a verizon or other firmware flashed to it first,it's not possible,save your time.about 10,000 people tryed,and some greats in the flashing world have spent alot of time all with the same outcome,they are not compatible(the 2 platforms).

sad but true. so if your gonna try,look for a verizon,alltell or other firmware and successfully put it on the phone first,then try to get mms working.

[ljay67]

it's only incoming. I can't send mms I get an error

[Nat3]

I kinda figured that the reclaim mms won't work on the cricket network.

[rich hathaway]

nope incomming......maybe.....some of the time... but it will never be sending any mms.and problebly wont recieve hardy ever if ever.you can however use a web based email to send and recieve,like yahoo or gmail.attach them to an email and send them that way.but thats it.

[ljay67]

yeah, e-mail ftw... the facebook and myspace apps work so I really don't care for mms
