Like the subject says, I miss it. Ever since I switched to Cingular, I haven't been able to use it.

Is there ANY way to change the MMS server on a GSM phone?

On a free and open phone there will simply be some sort of MMSC settings that you can change.
That's how a lot of the european gsm phones are.

Thanks for the reply, Humpa. I can't seem to find anything in the phone, though.

I'll have to keep poking around.

flapjack,

I've just been looking through the BB Pearl user guide and can't see anywhere you can change the mmsc settings either - which surprises me. Here in the UK you can change just about any gsm phone's settings. I did however find this which is a site selling unlocked Pearl's. Once the site is up, click on Support and part of it says:

"Internet Setting FIDO
Profile name: FidoWAP
blah
blah
blah
and then follows onto this:
To get MMS working (what I haven't included are the blanks and all boxes should be unchecked unless specified)
Setup-->Data Network
Profile Name: Fido MMS
APN: mms.fido.ca
Username: fido
Password: fido
Timeout: 15 minutes
Primary Gateway IP: 205.151.11.13
Port: 8080
Baud Rate: Auto
Line type: Modem
Timeout: off
Then click SAVE.
THEN
Messages-->Service Setup-->Multimedia Message
Default profile: FidoMMS
(all other settings are to your preference)
Tap the box beside Default Profile and ensure that FidoMMS is the default profile.
Settings for MMS profile goes
Profile name: FidoMMS
MMSC: http://mms.fido.ca
Max Sending Size: (your preference)
Network Profile: Fido MMS"

Does that help you at all?

@Phree

Thanks for the reply. I don't have any settings like that in my phone, unfortunately. I do have an MMS field under Options, but nothing that I can edit.

Oh well.... it would've been nice. Maybe someone else knows how to do this.
