Apple released the latest OS 3.0 for the iphone2G, 3G and the new iphone 3GS which includes MMS. Unfortunately MMS was not activated for the iPhone2G… until now. ActivateMMS2G is a little activation app that allows MMS on your iPhone2G with firmware 3.0. You have to however have a jailbroken iPhone (another reason why jailbreaking your iPhone is the best thing you could do). The patch will NOT automatically find vodacom or MTN’s MMS settings but we will find out the correct settings and be sure to let you know.

Step One

Press to launch Cydia from your SpringBoard

Step Two
Press to select the Sections tab at the bottom of the screen

Step Three
Press to select Messaging from the list of Categories

Step Four
Press to select ActivateMMS2G from the list of Packages

Step Five
Press the Install button at the top right of the screen

Step Six
Press the Confirm button at the top right to begin installation.

Step Seven
Once installation has completed successfully press the large Reboot Device button.

Step Eight
You iPhone will now be automatically restarted. Once the reboot has completed tap to open the messages application from the Springboard.

Notice you now have MMS capabilities. Please be aware that your cellular provider may charge an additional fee for using MMS. Please contact them before send an MMS to verify charges.
