I had the same problem, MMS was working and then one day it just stopped. Nothing I tried seemed to fix it. I read somewhere (pdaphonehome, I think) that a hard reset would fix the problem. So I tried a hard reset, re-installed the program, and it's working great again.

I made a new connection with the opendns dns servers and it is working great now

Here's the fix I used and it worked:

Change

http://mms.sprintpcs.com/servlets/mms

to

http://63.215.195.152/servlets/mms

That worked Gadgetguy. Thanks. Who's server is that?

[Gadgetguy]

I'm not sure who's server it is, but this is suposed to be the same as using the DNS server.

OK so there is no way to get mms back on the phone? I tried the DNS settings and it didnt work. Is there anyone who is trying to get it back to the way it worked before?? Please let me know my mms worked until i got my mogul swapped out for a new one yesterday and now the new phone wont send the pics.

Create a new connection, and use the dns settings given, it should work then....

The two settings above are identical. Basically what you are doing by typing in the numbers, is bypassing the need for DNS to function. DNS is what a system uses to translate the friendly URL (aka - mms.sprintpcs.com) into the real URL (which in this case is 63.215.195.152)

Open up command prompt on your PC and type in "ping mms.sprintpcs.com" without the quotes and you will see the above number displayed.
