How to Set Up the Motorola Z8 for Use on the AT&T Network in the USA

I purchased the Motorola Z8 in Hong Kong, and it took me several days to get MMS and WAP to work together. The addresses and proxies will work for any imported phone, but the method of entering the information will be different.

Start off in the Control Panel and select "Internet settings." Then select "Internet accounts." You should be presented with a list of Internet accounts that were built in to your phone. Next select Options->New Account->Data.

Enter the following information on the screen:

Account Name: ATT
Address: wap.cingular
(check Username and password required, caps must be on for this part)
User name: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password: CINGULAR1

Next select Options->Save

Now set ATT as your preferred account by selecting options->preferred account. ATT will than by in italics.

Now you must create another account
Following the same steps above:

Account Name: ATT MMS
Address: wap.cingular
(check Username and password required, caps must be on for this part)
User name: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password: CINGULAR1

Next select Options->Proxy and check the box "Use proxy server"
Proxy server address: 066.209.011.032
Proxy server port: 8080

Now select Option->Save to save the proxy addresses, and then Option->Save to save ATT MMS account.

Go back to the control panel, and select MSG SETTINGS, and then MMS account and enter the following settings:

Preset account: Other
Service centre address: http://mmsc.cingular.com
Internet account: ATT MMS
Auto download: On
Download size: Smaller than
Smaller than: 100KB

Options->Save

You can now send and receive MMS with the Z8, or any other import phone. The trick is in creating 2 accounts, because MMS requires the proxy while the WAP does not. If you are using the data connection to surf the web, and get an MMS you will get a msg on the phone asking if you want to interrupt the date transmission and switch to the MMS account.
