iPhone on prepay - No MMS

I have a iPhone 4 that I have used on att postpaid and net10 with MMS. I recently switched to att prepay and MMS won't work. I reset my network settings and still nada. Any suggestions? Do I need to do the APN trick and enter manually?
Thanks

Hi @cmonman 

 

On our prepaid service, you need to ensure that your IMEI of your phone is the one that matches the account, or a lot of things such as data and MMS messaging won't work. You can update your IMEI by visiting any Company Owned AT&T store and providing a valid photo ID. You should also request to have your SIM card changed at that time as well to force your iPhone to re-download the network settings.

 

If that doesn't work, you may need to manually program in the APN settings into the device. 

 

You can find the steps to get your APN settings on your device by clicking Here

I updated my APN setting last night using another carriers sim and hot swapping the AT&T sim back in. MMS is now working but I expect to periodically have to repeat that procedure as it tends to reset. Ill follow up at an AT&T store when I can. Thanks for the advice.
