Carrier settings for M1 and Starhub were updated by Apple with the impending launch of the phone through these Telcos – MMS and Tethering will work without much hassle! (7 Dec)
Update with ipcc files for M1 and Starhub (17 Aug)
Thanks to musashi at HWZ, here are some updates to the configuration that will make it easier for you to do MMS and Tethering when you are on M1 and Starhub.
Here are the instructions quoted from musashi’s post:
- Delete all profile(s) that you have installed from previous mobileconfigs. You can find them at the bottom of the Settings/General. Skip this step if you have none installed.
- Goto Settings/General/Network/Cellular Data Network and click Reset Settings. You may want to copy the mms settings down first.
- Restart the iPhone
- Connect iPhone and backup your iPhone. After backup, disconnect your iPhone.
- Follow the instructions here on how to enable carrier bundle support. For Mac Users. For Windows Users.
- After enabling carrier bundle support, proceed to download the custom ipcc file from the list below
- Connect your iPhone and start iTunes.
- Option+Check for Update (Mac) or Shift+Check for Update (Win) and select the ipcc file to update.
- This will take a very short while. After updating, You will see that shwapint as the APN for cellular data and shmms as the APN for MMS plus MMS settings. No need to change anything.
- Restart your iPhone and try it out.
Note:
- Do not change the APNs after updating. You will have to redo all the steps again.
- Remember to quit iTunes completely before applying the carrier bundle support.
- Credits to the following guys at HWZ: alanwwm for the Group MMS and SMS fix. newbish for supplying M1 settings and ghasse4 for version 1.1
Try it out and let me know how it goes.
For many out there who got their hands on iPhones while on StarHub or M1, if you have not download OS 3.0, why wait?
For those who had done so, if you are trying to figure how to MMS, there’s a few more steps to take to have that configured.
To start, go to Settings -> Network -> Cellular Date Network
For Starhub users, key in the following settings:
- APN: shmms
- MMSC: mms.starhubgee.com.sg:8002
- MMS PROXY: 10.12.1.80
For M1 users (can anyone verify?), key in the following settings:
for M1 Prepaid
- APN: miworldmcard
- USERNAME: 65
- PASSWORD: user123
- MMSC: http://mmsgw:8002/
- MMS PROXY: 172.16.14.10:8080
For M1 Postpaid
- APN: miworld
- USERNAME: 65
- PASSWORD: user123
- MMSC: http://mmsgw:8002/
- MMS PROXY: 172.16.14.10:8080
Leave the rest of the fields blank. Reboot your iPhone (press and hold HOME and SLEEP/WAKE button at the top for ten or more seconds until the Apple logo appears), than enter your mobile number when requested.

Hi,
thanks for the setting. I am on M1 Sim card, using the iphone3GS.
I can send out MMS but I realise that I am unable to receive MMS! I didn’t realise this until my friends told me that they had MMS-ed me but I didn’t get any notification!
I keyed in my phone number, did the M1 postpaid setting… i even tried to MMS myself using the M1 website but I still cannot get any MMS.
Can anyone help?

Leaving those two fields blank worked for me, but I am currently overseas on roaming.
After upgrading my software to 3.1.2., I am unable to set up the ipcc configuration while following the above instructions. The ipcc file is still grayed out, and thus am unable to select it. I am not sure if I have unzipped it correctly, but after extracting the zip file, the file name states, ‘mobileone_sg.bundle’. Even when i tried to change the extension to ipcc, it still does not work. I am using a mac by the way. Can anyone help or advise?
for Starhub users using Iphone 3GS on 3.1.2 these are the settings that work to send and receive MMS.
Note, you cannot send overseas for some unknown reason.
go to settings, go to general, go to network, go to cellular data network
cellular data
APN shwapint
username star
password hub
MMS
APN shmms
MMSC mms.starhubgee.com.sg:8002
MMS Proxy 10.12.1.80
thats all you need to send and receive.
If someone would be kind enough to enlighten everyone why starhub iphone 3gs 3.1.2 cannot send mms overseas please or what is the procedure to correct it.
I have an unlocked cell phone and a Verizon Blackberry Tour (work phone). I”m in Singapore for business and my blackberry is using M1 for cellular and data. I have a global data plan.
1) I pulled the sim card from the blackberry, and placed in my unlocked iphone.
2) I did the ipcc update for m1
3) I succesfully get cellular voice and sms.
4) But I can’t seem to get Data up. Anyone have any suggestions? I tried first using the ipcc settings after restart. I then also tried the miworld/65/user123 settings. But I keep getting “could not activate Cellular data network” when i do a data application
well, I think I figured it out. I noticed that my Blackberry would only support a data connection on M1. If it connected to starhub, then I would lose data.
So when I put the sim in my iPhone I assumed I needed to use M1. Apparently not.
I set the carrier to starhub, with nothing populated for APN or MMS. And boom, I got data.
Thanks for the tip on the MMS setting. It works! I called M1 up numerous times and they kept tell me to leave out the username and password for the MMS setting. Arrgghh!!!
Cheers!
I’m M1 unlimited mobile broadband subscriber. Juz wonder if i insert the M1 mbb sim card in to iphone to surf net will incurred extra usage charges or juz simply pay the monthly subscription?
I’m very worried abt the thousand dollars billing scam.
Very much appreciate for all kind advice.
works like magic =) thanks!

Hi, im using starhub but i could not configure my mms. after going to the settings>network i couldnt find Cellular Date Network. Yes, im having the same problem as AirBrush & Help.
It was working fine before but I itch-finger let iTunes check for carrier updates, thinking Starhub is now officially allowed…
i had that problem, too. but it’s supposed without a hitch. anyone calling starhub?
To AirBrush, Help, Settings Gone & edvarcl,
I used to have the same problem (missing Cellular Data Network) but now it resolved. Just make sure that you do the Step 5 as indicated in the post :-
“5. Follow the instructions here on how to enable carrier bundle support. For Mac Users. For Windows Users. ”
After that, follow the Step 6 to 10. If later iTunes prompts you that whether you want to update the cellular software, just click Cancel.
This should recover the missing Cellular Data Network. It works for my iPhone 3GS version 3.1.2. Cheers!
i am using M1 mbb sim card and insert into iphone, how am i able to start surfing and get connected to web, any configuration needed or step that i can get connected to web.
