I'm sending from FreeRingers.Net using the SampleRate, Song Length, File Format (MP3/MIDI), and BitRate specified by UT Starcom. And I've tried sending canned and home-made files, and all I hear is crickets chirpng in the background, while my cricKet is silent
 
When you say supports IM, I think of the following links I see on my phone, once you get to the internet browswer, you have the following options

Email/Chat

Email

Gmail
Hotmail
Y!Mail

Chat

C-Long
Treemo
Mocospace
Mobile IRC
Mopilot Chat
Conexion Latina

Once you get into fowarding IM messages, that becomes too complicated (no reason to look into it)

Thats what CHat/IM is to me
 
ok, so I've been on cricket for a month now, I've had problems from the get go, problems porting my nuraber over, that is, if you consider not being able to recieve calls unless you're already on a call a problem. My phone is the UT Starcom CDM 7025. UT Starcom says that the phone is capable of MMS messaging. They say I can recieve pciture messages and sound clips although I can't send my own due to the fact that's there's no camera, one of the reasons I got the phone, can't have a camera at work, need to have my phone at work. So I have an account with FreeRingers.net and they said the UT Starcom, through cricKet, was compatible. But I haven't been able to get it to work. I Think part of this may be due to the same problem that I'm having with my e-mail to text. You're suppost to be able to send an e-mail message to My#@mms.mycricket.com and recieve it as a text/pic message, but it's not working and hasn't been since my porting went through again. now everything works except that. Ant help?
 
yeah there is that too, but cricket has had im support since before they had wap. and the im forwarding from aim is what they're talking about. it is actually pretty well documented on mycricket.com, considering the majority of the service is ran by aol and only a small part is on cricket's systems.
 
This phone is capable of rendering emoticons and playing sounRAB in a text message that are already stored on the phone- eg. :) :( ;( etc. If you look at the user manual (or mycricket.com) there is no reference at all to MMS, EMS, Picture Messaging, E-mail, et al., while there is plenty of reference to Text Messaging. The phone does not support the actual transfer of pictures or sounRAB through any sort of messaging service, although it is capable of playing back MP3 ringtones and displaying images on the screen. This means to put these files onto the phone you will need to do it with a data cable and something like bitpim, or through a clicks application. Additionally I just took a look at one and it appears that the options to add emoticons and sounRAB is not implemented in cricket's firmware(contrary to both the user manual and UTStarcom's web site..)
 
First, EMS is Enhanced Messaging Server and it says on the UT Starcom site that it supports Enhanced Messaging, The manual cricKet gives you with the phone also says that it supports Enhanced Messaging (EMS) "for sending and recieving sound and simple picture messages". On the phone under Settings -> Display -> Wallpaper -> Image -> there's a folder EMS Image

And I would use the data cable, the one for the Audiovox 8900 uses the same port and recognizes the phone (New Device Detected 'UTStarcomC7025') but I have no drivers for it and I've been told that there aren't any drivers made for it. If you can tell me where to get drivers for it then that'll be great, but otherwise It's useless.

The FreeRingers Supports the phone with cricKet service, and other merabers use it just fine. If everything else was working and it was just that I'd accept my losses, but.... :doh:
 
When I was trying to make sure you were sending it to the right e-mail address, I tried it on my phone (which is mms compatible but Jump Mobile is not). Usually I would get a message (sms) that said I have a new mms and to go view it online. This time the message actually came through although there was a button that said download (I don't know what it would have downloaded) but that wouldn't work. In any case it seems that Jump may support mms in the near future which would be great if they made that completly unlimited as well. Sorry if I hijacked your thread but I was going to tell you that if your phone wasn't mms compatible, you should get a sms message that said to view your mms online.
 
It's entirely run by AOL. But they advertise it as a seperate feature (although it's bundled together) "Unlimited Text Messaging, Picture Messaging, and Instant Messaging". Full IM Support means you can initiate a conversation. With Yahoo! Messenger, even on Graphically Challenged phones, you can send a text message to the server and get a list of active buddies
 
The CSRs at my Full Service CricKet Store refuse to exchange the phone because they say that everything is working fine, regardless of who tells me to have it exchanged, UT Starcom or the 800.CRICKET people or the Porting people. And everyone keeps telling me that it "Should" be working fine.
 
No, I haven't. I'm sad to have to report I'm now taking the issue to my lawyers and the BBB. I've sent an E-Mail to cricKet Corporate telling them so and the reasons and got the same "you'll get a reply within 3 days" message I always get so if I, again, don't get a reply within 3 days with some kind of status report I'll file with the BBB, and if that doesn't work I've got 1500 hours of my Lawyers time before I have to pay anything more than my premium, so cricKet can have a nice kick in the rear and maybe they'll get off it and start helping their customers
 
The legal issue comes in when they advertise it as a Feature. If they said "Compatible with AOL IM" that would be different becasue they aren't trying to imply any support for the feature provided by them. It'd be like if there was a new pair of shoes out, and they said they supported socks like there was something they did to the shoes to make them sock-compatible, but any shoe is sock-compatible and that has nothing to do with the shoe. Some shoes may not work well with socks, like sandals or some varieties of women's shoes. And cricKet's IM Support is like a Sandal saying that it's sock compatible, you just have to squeeze the thong thing through the sock
