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.

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

- USERNAME: 65
- PASSWORD: user123
- MMSC: http://mmsgw:8002/

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.
