Answer
If you don't already have a voice and PDA plan on your account or your account is prepaid, you will not be able to use these features.

AT&T:
Main Menu
* Entertainment
* Services
* Data Account
* GPRS
- Find one free account (like Account 8, etc)
* Edit
- Change 'Account Name' and put the value 'ATT MMS'
- In 'apn' field put the value APN (which is wap.cingular)
- Fill the fields username and password with the ones on the table USER and PASSWORD (you don't actually need a user name and password for AT&T, you can leave these blank)
-Click 'Done' and say Yes to Save.

* Main Menu
* PIM
* Messages
* MMS
* Message Settings
* Server Profile
- Find one free account (like Profile 8, etc)
* Edit Profile
- Rename Profile and put the value 'ATT MMS'
- In Homepage field put the value HOMEPAGE (which is http://mmsc.cingular.com)
- In 'Data Account' select GPRS and then the account created before (the MMS one).
- Select 'Connection Type', choose HTTP and click OK
- Fill in the fields Proxy Address with PROXY and Proxy Port with PORT. Then click OK (066.209.011.061 is the proxy and 9201 is the port number)
- Fill the fields username and password with the ones on the table USER and PASSWORD (don't need a user name and password)
* Go back and Activate Profile
