QUESTION: another ? for you, how do I set up mms for a cect a380i? We have service with T-Mobile but we don't have the internet package for this phone.

Answer
Hello Mike,

The settings should be the same as the settings I have provided you above in order for you to receive pictures you will have to have a internet package such as pay per use. You need to setup your phone using all the settings above in order for this to work properly. I hope that I have been of help to you if you have any other questions please do not hesitate to ask.
