How to Activate GPRS and MMS of Nokia Phones Powered by Sun Cellular
Here is the fourth tutorial on how to activate GPRS and MMS of Nokia Phones and enable WAP settings. After setting up the configurations properly, your Nokia cell phones will be able to connect to the internet, browse webpages and download emails. In this article, Sun-powered cell phones (Nokia and other phones with similar navigation and configuration settings) can use the following procedure in activating GPRS and MMS. The first three tutorials were titled “How to Setup WAP by Activating GPRS and MMS of Globe Cell Phones“, “How to Setup WAP by Enabling GPRS and MMS of Smart Cell Phones“, and “How to Configure Nokia N99i V9+i, Nokia N95 8Gb Clone and Other China Cell Phones to Connect to the Internet“. Please read these articles for your guidance in enabling configuration settings for other networks and other phone brands.
Automatic Activation of GPRS/MMS/WAP

Rufmon,
yeah, other users of Nokia 6101 experience the same problem. the problem must be with the phone and not with the procedure in activating GPRS and MMS of Nokia phones powered by Sun Cell.

Hi,
Thanks for your comment. Before carrying out the tutorial, make sure you have enough cell phone load. Try the automatic method to activate GPRS and MMS of your Nokia phone then if it won’t work, try the manual settings. I hope this helps.

Why is this so?
When I followed the instructions for activating the MMS Settings…
1st: Go to Menu -> Messages -> MMS -> Message Setting -> Server Profile, it was correct.
2nd: Select Sun MMS, Select Edit Profile, it was still correct.
3rd: Rename Profile: “Sun MMS”, it was correct
4th: Homepage: “’http://www.mmscenter.suncellular.com.ph”, it was correct.
5th: Data Account: “Sun MMS”, correct.
6th: Connection Type: “HTTP”, correct.
But when I started 2 go to the next step, I could not find the Proxy Address and Proxy Port, instead, I found Username and password what should I put in these fields?

Hello, I would like to ask if you could make a tutorial on how to configure 3g on my iPhone using sun cellular? I just recently unlocked my iphone 3g using Ultrasn0w and it worked, so now I am using Sun Cellular and I noticed that the APN in the cellular data is blank. Not only the APN, but also everything else. So I cant send MMS and cannot use my 3g on my iPhone. Please make a tutorial on that or just email me what to put there. Thanks a bunch!
