Cricket merged with AT&T. Some time ago they also gave their existing customers to either stay CDMA or change to GSM. What does that mean exactly? I don't know, but it isn't relevant for this question.
mms format was: area+number#mms.mycricket.com
Post AT&T merger it became
mms format new: area+number#mms.aiowireless.net
#mms.aiowireless.net worked for months, but just stopped working a few days ago. Cricket support doesn't help.
Here are the settings, have always been and always worked until just recently it stopped.
Settings→More Networks→Mobile Networks→Access Point Names

Any ideas? Anyone that uses Cricket Wireless as their carrier found a solution?
If you don't think this should be here, inform me where I should post this question. Google this question, it's all over the forums. No answers to be found.
If you don't use mms or sms, it comes in handy when working with text or media. It's a way you can send text or media to a mobile device using email. It's very handy especially when you have to type a lot of info, edit, links; just open an mail and send to mobile device. It's very efficient if it works. Seems Cricket is falling off the boat I've grown to be satisfied with, but now becoming dissatisfied.
Cricket Wireless - is no help. If you know what a help desk function is, then you already understand. If you don't, it's people in the industry that just need jobs, they have open tickets and want to close them. They have a sheet of protocols, answers or solutions (e.g. Did you try turning off your mobile device? Did you turn off your device and remove your battery). They aren't trained and they don't have answers. Let't move on.
I called Cricket support yesterday and i was lucky to create a ticket number.
After 24 hours it seems like it is working better but not fixed.
They are working on this.

The answer is the original question.
My question is indeed the answer. All the settings are in my inquiry. I made no changes to my settings. It was the network that must have put something off line and didn't publicly announce it. My settings were not changed, nor "pushed". It's back online now and mms and sms seems to be working again as it did.

I'm a bit of a newbie, so bare with me, please.
So long story short, I've been thinking about being hacked a lot lately, probably due to a (very well made) documentary I watched recently - this might be paranoid, but it is what it is.
I was browsing 9gag today when me opening a new tab redirected me to a reCAPTCHA page to prove I'm not human and it said one of the possible reasons was that my IP was changed. And so my quest for truth began. I ran a batch of the sites I've visited through the McAfee WebAdvisor and it claimed they're all safe. I've been running F-Secure on my computer and it hasn't found any issues so far.
So I did a bit of reading and tried to find how many devices are using my Wi-Fi - I read that the arp -a command gives you the IP's of devices using your Internet and that switching them 1 by 1 will result in the number of IP's decreasing by 1. And this is the problem - the amount of devices was the same regardless of whether my phone's Wi-Fi was turned on or off. Is that good, bad or doesn't even matter? Also, how can I efficiently find if there's an external connection to the network at home/my computer/my phone without using ARP
I'm trying to educate myself a bit more on the topic to avoid such panic thoughts so any tips and any help will be much appreciated. Also, apologies for the long post, but I thought that the whole story would show a more clear picture.
I have questions about programming in BlackBerry Devices OS 5 - 7. Is there a listener that can listen if the device is just connected to internet connection? The task of my app is that if the device is connected, it will send a http request right away.
Looking forward to it.
Best regards,
Hammy
The listener you want is called CoverageStatusListener. Have a look at the API: CoverageStatusListener and CoverageStatusListener OS6.0+. Note the two flavours - you might want to use the extended version in your OS 6 and above apps.
But that said, coverage is only 1/2 the story. You might have good coverage but no access to the specific web site you are targeting. Another common problem is things like WiFi Hotspots - you can be talking quite happily on WiFi, but unless you have signed in to the Hotspot, you are not going to be able to communicate with your web site. So the many links that have already been provided by Signare (in the comments for your question), are useful. Here they are again, plus one more that I think is useful:

Hi guys
I'm working on this project where I'll need to retrieve information from a database through sms/ussd, much like how you would check you credit on you mobile phone.
Would appreciate any help to head me in the right direction.
(Hope I put my question out clearly, if not ask me so I can clarify)
I can help you extensively in solving your problem. As far as I got understood what you want to achieve is, perhaps that when a SMS message comes to your GSM Modem or GSM Phone, your software should be capable enough to interpret that message according to your protocol and should respond accordingly, also when it needs to process database. This is absolutely possible. Let me describe it in brief. Following are the general steps:
You must connect your GSM Phone or Modem through your software with a particular COM port.
After assigning and configuring the port, You issue AT+CNMI=2,2,0,0,0 command to Modem, if it responds to OK, then it indicates that it supports this command, else an error is generated.
Now send an SMS from some other phone, you will see that the SMS directly goes to your software, now you can process it as per your needs.
The whole process is slightly a lengthy description, but it is possible.
I want to develop an interface in my computer that will send sms from a text box to the computer attached phone(which has gsm based SIM) and phone will deliver that sms to a particular number(the number will also be given in text field).
I want to know what are the tools i may use for this purpose.What programming languages will be better for this kind of job?(java/.net/php/UNIX shell script).
Somewhat different in terms of use, but the following question probably can get you started with some of the research:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/238579/free-sms-api
You could download a program called gnokii (I think it works both on Linux and Windows, please check the website). You can connect a very cheap Nokia mobile phone (check the list that are compatible) and send instructions to the cell phone using this program, like sending sms.
I did this some years ago with a very cheap Nokia phone. Of course I had to pay for each SMS sent, but this depends on the plan of your operator.. in my case I bought a SMS packpage for 6 bucks, then I could send 120 SMS (I'm from Brazil, check your location).
I know its probably possible, but is it practical and doable to try and geo-position someone using WiFi to triangulate...
Thinking if I was underground and didn't have access to GPS, could I setup WiFi spots around the place to help locate someone.
Or if I was on a plane or a train (which is constantly moving), could I setup WiFi spots around the place to help locate someone.
Where would I start in doing this? Is there software components/infrastructure? If not would it be possible to do this... i.e. at a router level add location information to the packets about which router the incoming message was coming from and then the server being able to pick up on this...
This is exactly how the Skyhook database (built into many phones) works. It uses cell towers and WiFi points to triangulate the position in the absence of a GPS signal.
Google also does this with their street view vans—they look for open wi-fi networks as they go, and record their positions.
This is already widely available. Google the terms wifi location aware.
This is how laptop "Lo Jack" theft recovery systems work, for example.
