Do the setting & send MMS on iPhone
-----------------------------------------------
I happen to have an iPhone and it has been months i'm using it [it is necessary i mentioned that]. I don't wanna be rude or anything like that but the TV show name 'Fahimagu' on local TV is spitting out wrong information on certain things like GPRS/EDGE and MMS in iPhone [with all due respect]. Well, i'm not going to givva detailed report on what they have blabbered about but certainly a step by step on setting up a third party app called SwirlyMMS for iPhone.

SwirlyMMS is developed by Mats Berggrund and Tommy Sevensson on the late December 2007. I'm currently running version 0.2.2 of this app, which was the update on the January 17, 2008. Until today this app is running smooth as silk and yet it is only possible to send MMS as receiving is not developed so far.

Anyways here's some information you will need to do the settings to be able to send MMS using your iPhone. Following details is based on my experience in this matter. Aand this is only when your carrier is Dhiraagu as i'm using that [duhhhh!]

Here you go!!

1. Install the SwirlyMMS using the Installer. [You need to have Community Sources added to your installer sources]
2. Run the SwirlyMMS and tap the Settings on the right-bottom corner. See the image below;

3. On the Settings page you will have to enter the following as in order;

MMSC and Proxy Server Settings
MMSC: mmsc.dhimobile.com.mv
Proxy: 172.24.97.4:8080 [i had a tough time to figure out this, thanks to 123] :P

MMS-specific APN Settings
APN: internet.dhimobile
Username: [leave this blank]
Password: [leave this blank too]

Image size: You have a 5 options but best recommended is 
Medium.

4. When you are done entering as above tap on Save located on your Left-top corner.

5. Now you are good to go to try sending your first MMS. Tap New MMS on right-top corner. Now you will see the page to enter a
TitleTo and File as in the below image.
6. Just give any title you want and tap the blue '
+' to select the contact you want to send this MMS to and then finally the image [sound slips and so on are not yet possible to send] you want to send then tap the blue send button.

7. You can let me know if it works by posting a comment on this. :)
8. Make a Donation to the developers by going to 
Info located on the left-bottom corner when you open the application. [You can always skip this option though.. ;-)]

When you want to delete your sent MMS history, go to Settings like you did before and scroll down to see the enormous 
RED button - tap on it. :)

That's it for the SwirlyMMS. But one thing, 
GPRS/EDGE works perfectly from day one i started using iPhone, that was in September 2007. O_o
