Mobily prepaid/postpaid iPhone 3G data & MMS settings
We are always happy to help iPhone owners, unlike Mobily who doesn’t seem to know how to handle the iPhone 3G. Here are the iPhone 3G data & MMS settings for a prepaid Mobily number:
Access Point Name (APN): web2
MMS settings:
APN: mms2
Username: blank
Password: blank
MMSC : http://10.3.3.133:9090/was
MMS Proxy: 010.003.002.133:8080
As for postpaid Mobily numbers, the settings are:
Access Point Name (APN): web1
MMS settings:
APN: mms1
Username: blank
Password: blank
MMSC : http://10.3.3.133:9090/was
MMS Proxy: 010.003.002.133:8080
To edit these settings on your iPhone: go to Settings, General, Network, Cellular Data Network. Enter the settings mentioned earlier. Exit the menu and you should be done.
Special thanks to Mikko who posted the settings here. Image from Bandar Raffah’s site.

Ok so here is the issue.
I can’t send any SMS or MMS, it keeps telling me failed. I followed the instructions to the letter, but no luck.
Any ideas?

Well, I called them and they asked me to go to the store and have the phone fixed there. When i did, the agents in the store refused to help me because My iPhone is AT&T bought and not Mobily.
However, i did fix the issue in a weird way, i can only send a text message to people who already sent me atleast one text. weird but thats how i go it to work.
Also, to this date i am unable to send MMS.
BTW mobily costumer support is by far the worst i have ever seen in my life.

i tried using *N# before the actual sms text and it works on Mobily as well !
it sends u a reply with the delivery report!
now question…does this cost?
im on postpaid so i cant say…someone on prepaid pls try…
send a sms like this for example:
*N# whats up

Mobily relies on customers to fix their problems. thanks for posting the tip about *N#
and yes it costs money per report, I am not sure how much.
Call them again, ask them again how to enable report
don’t tell them the solution

hi mr. Khaled..aa
greetings to you man, i have iphone 3g-jailbroken and updated to firmware 3.1.2 under the carrier of mobily prepaid bundle..do you have any ideas regarding my problem,, i set my cellular data network to prepaid settings as instruction above and tried to restart even reboot my device, then now, when i tried to browse again at safari this message pop-up “Could not activate cellular data network- PDP authentication failure”…is there another settings again that i need to reconfigured? because to tell you honestly its a waste of time going to mobily tech-support people– half of them doesn’t know anything and just tell you useless information..
more power to you man!!hope you could find time at my problem..

Wait a minute.. above you said: “Access Point Name (APN): web2″ and then “APN: mms2″. How it would have two different APN? Hope I didn’t bother anyone..

the first one is for 3G data, the second is for MMS.

Well, I thought that the APN for 3G is:
“wap1″ (for postpaid) or “wap2″ (for prepaid).
Anyway thank you for your quick responce. You should operate the so-called customer service 1100

Hello Khaled. Im on mobily prepaid and I cant send MMS using the settings stated above – always message sending failed; i even tried restarting my iPhone but the same results.Could the number I am sending the MMS to matter? Im sending it to an international number. What do you think is the problem? Please advise.

most likely it is a problem with the number, call mobily 1100 and ask them.
Also isn’t better to just email?

I bought a hspa+ usb modem hoping it will connect to the mobily 21mbps network, but it is also connecting to the hsdpa network which is only 7.2 mpbs, is there another apn for this connection to work? regards.

I don’t think there’s any other APN, It depends on the network ..
If you don’t have an HSPA+ network in your range you won’t have the legendary 21mbps speed

Greetings Khaled,
So as I understand it the prepaid mobily simcard enables internet tethering, right? Is there a settings adjustment needed to be done at the Network>Cellular Data iPhone settings?
Much appreciated

Thanks very much guys. The Mobily shop told me to call 1100 which didn’t work. The settings got rejected or something. It seems like none of the options when you call the helpline include talking to an actual human. Some of them don’t even work. Thank goodness for sites like this.
