Have you seen this error before “The media content was not included due to a picture resolution or message size restriction.”
T-Mobile has apparently changed their MMS settings and now some iPhones are unable to get MMS with out a simple hack found in Cydia. To fix this problem, all you need to do is install the package “TMobile US Postpaid Flexpaid Legacy” Then reboot your iPhone. Now your MMS is working again.
My friend was having this problem. Now I can be a Hero and fix it for her. >:) Thanks man.
I have found out that if u download the black berry plane from cydia u will be able to send and receive pics.
Where do I get “TMobile US Postpaid Flexpaid Legacy”
It’s in cydia search for legacy. It’s the first one.
i tryed going to cydia to download legacy but something else is popping up.exacly how do i get the right legacy so i can be able recieve pic messages.it say picture size is to large
Hello to All,
I was legally purchased my iPhone 3GS in Europe from Tmobile and this one is a Legally Unlocked by Appel for all carriers.
Now I’m living in the USA and i’m using US T-mobile and everything works just fine except 3G and receiving MMS.
I can send MMS to anyone to any carrier even to myself, but when anyone send me a MMS i does not receive it but i get error message :
“The media content was not included due to a picture resolution or message size restriction”
Is there someone who may help me and advise me what i can do to fix this issue with incoming MMS?
I like to add my iPhone 3GS is not JAILBRAKED, HACKED, i does not have CYDIA, etc…. It’s Legally Unlocked by Apple.

Hi Tammy,
Unfortunately, I do not know if anything what I learned will help, because so far nothing helped me, and I still have the same problem and I can not received MMS (just the error msg).
For past few weeks, a months, I spent hours and hours talking on the phone with my USA
T-Mobile carrier here in the U.S. and with
T-Mobile in Europe where I bought my iPhone, with Apple’s iPhone support here in the U.S. and so far nobody could help me.
People from T-Mobile and AT & T business advise me to unlock my phone as jallbraik
but I do not know how to do it and I do not want to lose any data, and future updates, etc. …
If know something about this please let me know or anyone who may help with it
See below, and there are two emails from
T-Mobile tech support for iPhone Consumers. here in USA.
It may help you or others but it does not help me and I still hope…..lol
If you will find anything what may help me please let me know and I would be grateful
PLEASE SEE BELOW for 2 emails:

Finally Thank you so much, Legacy finally fixed it.
i have iphone 3g on ios4 and i downloadded legacy and now my celular data network is missing
Dude YOU rock. Thanks for the RIGHT info. I am running a 3G 8gig firmware 3.1.2, jailbroken and unlocked with Blackra1n. It works flawless now no problems at all. It’s nice to have a fully functional iPhone again. Once again, THANKS ALOT!!!!!
I have a factory unlcoked iPhone 4 which I purchased from Canada for use in the U.S. with T-Mobile. I am able to send MMS fine, but am unable to receive MMS. Is the only way this can be fixed is if I run the jailbreak to get Cydia and install the Legacy fix? I am trying to avoid jailbreaking the phone… does anyone know if there is a fix besides Legacy?
Can someone post the settings that work please? TMOBILE POST PAID is no longer available via cydia
