Pixer MMS for Palm OS provides a standard's compliant MMS solution for Palm OS PDAs. Pixer MMS allows full send and receive of MMS messages on Palm Tungsten W, along with MMS send on other Palm OS 3.5+ PDAs.

Pixer MMS has been tested and is known to work using the Palm Tungsten W on the following networks:

Vodafone UK
Orange UK
T-Mobile UK
SingTel Singapore

We also support the free NowMMS service.

We regret that we are unable to offer support in getting Pixer MMS to work on other networks and devices.

Getting Started
In order to send MMS with Pixer MMS you need to have an MMS account with your operator, or a free MMS account with NowMMS.

There are two stages to setting up Pixer - adding your operator's MMS details and configuring access to your operator's APN on your PDA. 

To configure GPRS access, please refer to the instructions provided at Palm's web site. Note that the NowMMS service will work with any data connection, so you will not need this step.

Next Download and install Pixer MMS to your PDA. When you run Pixer MMS, select Advanced Settings from the menu on the main screen. On this form you need to enter the WAP gateway IP address and the MMS URL. Check the 'presets' list at the top right corner of the screen to see if your operator is on the list - if so, then select it and the settings will be filled for you. If not you will need to find them and enter them yourself - try asking your operator! The final step is to select the Service that you will use to connect to the MMS Service - this is usually the MMS APN for your operator. When you press OK you are configured, and are ready to send MMS messages.

Note: With a 2 piece solution you need to ensure the Palm connects via the correct GPRS APN on the phone. For Vodafone the APN is wap.vodafone.co.uk
There should be a Data connection setting on the phone for MMS. Use its ID in the dial string for the network service on the Palm:- e.g *99***ID# - On the Palm ensure that the username and password for the MMS Network service is set.

Please refer to the Pixer MMS User Guide for further help and advice.

Please note that Electric Pocket cannot currently offer any help or end user support in getting Pixer configured for your operator or your PDA. We would, however, be interested in hearing about Pixer's performance on your operator's network. We offer a free Yahoo! Group for users to share experiences and provide community support.

Pixer MMS is offered as a free 10 day trial. We recommend that you take advantage of the trial period to ensure that Pixer MMS works with your operator and PDA.
