Many people found it’s hard to believe that Apple does not make MMS available for iPhone 2G, it is because that iphone is a non-proxied device, in other word that there is no need for iPhone to have WAP translation to view web content and therefore does not traverse the WAP gateway, but there is hack available to enable MMS for iPhone 2G, but it only works for jailbroken iPhones.

NOTE: You must have a Jailbroken iPhone in order to use this feature…

Open Cydia


Inside Cydia, find/search for ActiveMMS2G

Now hit Install ActiveMMS2G, now click Confirm to make the installation process run.
Wait for the installation process finishes. Now Reboot Device in order to restart your iPhone.
It’s recommended to consult your carrier to make a setting for your MMS. For example if you are T-Mobile US user, visit this page to find the setting. Before continuing to enable MMS make sure you’ve fill its value.
Hit Network to get back and hit Home button to go back to home screen
Power off your iPhone and turn it on again
Launch Messages application after it’s booted up and a Camera icon will appear. Now, you can tap on the icon, select the photo to embed in the message and send it out.

Apple has released iPhone OS 3.1 which includes a number of new features; however, its important to remember NOT to update your firmware. If you update now you will likely lose your unlock and maybe even your jailbreak (iPhone 3GS). We will provide instructions once a safe upgrade path is available.

REMEMBER do not use the normal iTunes update process to update your iPhone and do not update to 3.1 OS at this time if you want to keep your iPhone Unlocked…

You must say “NO” to your iTunes update. You can still have your iPhone 2G, 3G and 3GS Jailbroken and Unlocked if you have not updated to the latest 3.1 OS… If you want to keep your iPhone UNLOCKED to be used on other carriers, I would suggest staying away from 3.1 OS for a while. 3GS Owners/Users Unlock your iPhones while you’re running 3.0 or 3.0.1 OS and keep this OS as long as you can… The new 3.1 OS updates the baseband permanently, meaning you will not be able to ever unlock it again…

The new iPhone 3.1 firmware adds the following new features…

Genius Recommendations for Apps
