Comments on: AT&T Announces MMS is Coming to iPhone on September 25th

Brent, I have had the exact same problem. Rebooting has always fixed my problem, but let’s face it we shouldn’t have to do this. By paying approx $100 a month for data / texting / and 450 Iphone any time minutes, I shouldn’t have to do this, and frankly tethering should be included as a part of this monthly charge. After I finish my 2 year contract in June 2010, I will seriously look at other options.

Now that I upgraded to get mms capability, I’m having a lot of difficulty with my iPhone simply not coming on. Most times, I have to reboot, and even then, it doesn’t always come on. Anyone else having this issue? Very frustrating!

I am so excited! This was a case of ‘not appreciating what you have until its taken away’ and then having to wait over two years to get it back! Ridiculous. I had downloaded the carrier update this morning and have been sending MMS all day here in San Diego, CA Happy Sept 25th!

By: lori

lori — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 22:20:22 +0000

“Update carrier settings” Yep, it took 5 seconds…the first 3 pic texts I tried to send hung up atabout 90% and I got an error message to try again….maybe everyone is tryig it out at the same time?? I’m sitting across from a friend with an iphone whom I sent a test text with pic to (it finally, sluggishly, sent….) but it’s 5 minutes later and she STILL has not received the text….hmmmmm….

wow people. chill. we’ve been able to send pictures on the iphone this whole time. through our email to others texting set up. mms will make it easier, and i cant wait for that. some people getting way out of hand with this stuff. if you have such a problem with AT&T or Apple or the iphone.. then DONT have an iphone!!

By: Mike

Mike — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 15:49:43 +0000

I love how everyone is complaining about not having MMS, also for having to pay for it for all this time. I have not seen any extra charges on my bill regarding MMS fees, so I don’t get what your trying to prove. Also, I thought the video was an apology anyway, because they say they have been working in this for quite some time now. And do the person that said that they should have been working on the networks sooner, AT&T has many many smart phones on their network, not just the iPhone. I know hundreds of people that use blackberries and palms. They take over alot of the 3G too. Remember people, these kind of things cost money, and how much people do you think are going to be sending a picture on Sept. 25th? They had to buy whole new equipment just to support 1 phone. I think you guys complaining need to think more into how much they have to spend on us customers, then what you “need”.

JohnnyP — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 15:11:44 +0000

First of all, most of you have had this conversation: Someone shows you some REALLY funny picture on their mobile phone. You make the mistake of openly admiring the picture, and the next thing you know, you're hearing the dreaded phrase AGAIN... "Oh, I'll send you the picture.". Then comes the embarassing discussion about why the most advanced multimedia phone on the planet cannot receive mms text messages. Embarrassing is an understatement.

Someone earlier said "welcome to the 21st century...". I say "Welcome to the 20th century.". MMS is really an antiquated communications technology.

Ultimately, the responsibility for this silliness falls on Apple's shoulders. There is no law that says AT&T had to be THE carrier for the iPhone. Further, there is no law that says there can be only one carrier for the iPhone. Finally, even though it does not affect me as I have a 3gs, how retarded must we be to believe that the old 2g iPhones couldn't participate in the MMS party??? That's crazy! I'd be willing to bet that there are plenty of 2g users out there who'd be more than willing to pay extra for mms texting.

No, Apple is responsible for ALL of this stupid mess. Way to go Apple! Greed above functionality!

I agree lets all send mms on the 25 for the whole day. That would be a way to protest against att.

Hi Att. Thanks for quelling everyone’s burning frustration and wonderment now that Fall has begun and it’s well past your “later in summer” announcement. Interesting video… I especially enjoyed the completely dishonest statement explaining that the reason for the delay is so that you can get your network ready. Really?! Hmm, that’s funny, because you’ve been in bed with Apple for the last 2 years. You knew the new OS had MMS in it and yet you still couldn’t get your act together?. That’s a pretty difficult one to swallow! It’s also funny how every other network provider in the world was able to actuate it except for you, the “best 3g network” in the biz. You guys are so full of malarkey. If only Apple had been able to work out the deal with Verizon… Tell me, how does it feel to be sloppy second?

why can’t the iphone 3g/3gs be just as capable as the g1. yeah, it’s prolly the best smartphone out there, but the g1 let’s you do absolutely anything with it and htc won’t brick your phone. (atleast not that i’ve heard anyways.) i love my iphone 3gs, it’s the best phone i got, but i missed the capabilities the g1 has. if there was a smart phone as beast as the iphone 3gs with the same amount of free reign the g1 has, i would pay just about anything for it.

I am very excited to see this FINALLY coming to the iPhone. AT&T is crap and the iPhone is the only reason why I have them. I can not believe they made us wait for MMS when everyone all over the flipping world is able to use this ability and tethering! Now I hear ATT is going to charge for tethering, I don't know why I am surprised, they charge for everything.

It is about time AT&T and I think someone should SUE YOU for making us wait! Everything better work PERFECTLY or I am going to be very disappointed.

Why is it that AT&T requires us to download a software update, where as the rest of the world had MMS right from the iPhone 3.0 OS firmware update months ago. Is AT&T going to give us something special that the rest of the world doesn’t have?

I think it’s odd that MMS was already accessible in Germany on the iPhone 3G and 3Gs. So coming back to the states and finding my little camera option on my text messaging gone kinda bummed me out. PS the iphone is owned by the cell phone companies in Europe so getting my 3G 16GB for 3 euros and then my 32GB 3Gs for 40 Euros was awesome. Ah well I am glad to hear that my MMS application will be back at the end of the month

I also would like to add. To the people that are crying about having to upgrade to the 3g/3gs. Are you kidding me ??? Stop being so cheap why would you not upgrade? The first iphone was great,but lacks in all areas.

You people kill me. I love the people that bitch about at&t. If you dont like it go to sprint or verizon. What alot of you dont realize is if the iphone was on verizon the network would be brought down just as bad if not worse then at&t. And also NO WIFI. Another problem i have is people think the iphone was behind all these others phones that have been doing MMS for years now. They real problem is that other phones are behind by not having EMAIL on there phones . The people the lack this are the poeple that are behind.

Here's a thought, back away from the keyboard, take a deep breath and count to ten slowly. You should start to feel your rage and hatred slowly disappear. Finish by going to your happy place. Then, lesson learned, it's better to think and act with reason and rational than with stupidity.

Everyone calling bullshit needs to go read up on cellular data traffic vs. the way SMS and MMS work. And anyone who thinks tethering won’t use more data needs… well, you need to do a bit of rethinking as well. I guarantee that you would use more data tethered to a multitasking-capable laptop with multiple browser windows, IM, Twitter, a torrent client, email, Facebook, etc. open than you would on an iPhone.

Sorry ATT, I'm calling bullshiiite on this. Sending an MMS message might only take a few seconds on 3G or a minute or two on Edge. Now. What uses more bandwidth on the wireless spectrum: Safari, InternetRadiobox, or mms messaging? So how come Safari was able to be used from day one, but not mms? It goes over the very same wireless spectrum, does it not?

And how can tethering use more bandwitdth? The available bandwidth is the same, be it on a laptop or a cell phone. And since the bandwidth is being used by the iPhone and not the laptop, then the bandwidth usage would be the same, would it not? Just the online time via tethering would be greater, right? It is still using the same bandwidth.

So. ATT, please come up with new excuses. Please?

What’s the difference between sending an MMS and sending a picture in an email that took so long to come out. Tethering is completely different since it will use a lot more bandwidth, but why was this amazing device not able to support something that has been around for several years now on day one? I’m not trying to come across as a jerk or anything I really don’t understand. I also don’t understand why messaging isn’t just built into the data plan though other than the business side of it.

By: Seriously

All of you complainers are ungrateful ********. AT&T explained why it took so long. If they had released MMS any earlier there would have been problems and, God forbid, you all would be whining and moaning even more than you are now. Be happy that us iPhone users now have a set date. Be happy we’re getting it at all. Heck, if I were AT&T I wouldn’t think any of you naysayers were worthy of MMS.

By: Snotz

Snotz — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 05:12:55 +0000

AT&T’s contract doesn’t state that they’ll restrict your services if your device is capable and you’re paying for the service. My wife and I have a family unlimited texting plan (includes MMS) and my iPhone has the MMS capability already. The only reason MMS doesn’t work is because AT&T blocks it when it detects an iPhone on the account. I see this as a breach of contract on AT&T’s part as it says nowhere that they will impose an artificial restriction on the device. When my wife and I first bought iPhone 3G we knew there was no MMS because the opine was not capable. As soon as 3.0 came out and the capability was there it should have been available.

By: Tis

Tis — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 04:48:09 +0000

For those who are wanting to sue AT&T, was there something in your contract that stated you would recieve all the devices services and did it come out of AT&Ts pr department. It won’t hold up, don’t waste your money.

absolute bull. I live in Iowa City and the ATT network here is absolutely worthless. Their employees lie out of their teeth. They’ve been telling customers for the past 3 years that 3G is coming in a couple of months. They have no idea how to service any of their phones and are clueless about their plans. My phone is constantly in SOS mode. CONSTANTLY. I’ve had three different phones with ATT and multiple SIM cards but SOS is always an issue. If you’re in the Iowa City area and are thinking about switching to ATT…DON’T DO IT. You won’t be able to use your service half the time.

Update on tethering... From Dallas MN techblog from ATT

UPDATE II: Here's AT&T's official comment today on tethering for the iPhone:

We expect to offer tethering in the future. By its nature, this function could exponentially increase traffic on the network, and we need to ensure that some of our current upgrades are in place before we can deliver the expanded functionality with the excellent performance that customers expect.

By: Anthony

Anthony — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 02:34:39 +0000

I think that att should be taught a lesson to not fuck with iphone users….as soon as you get the update that enables the mms on our phones,start sending mms to everyone and everywhere send em often and send them constantly. If all of us do it i am sure we can cause a blackout of the new and improved network. if your reading this att, really shouldnt have messed with the iphone community!@!

But, why did they send this now? It would have helped so much more to explain that stuff like at least a month ago.

Well finally! not having MMS has just killed me. Some people are trying to stand up for AT&T saying its only a few days after summer. But it’s just the fact they not only does AT&T hold US iPhone users back from two big upgrades in MMS & Tethering (which is frustrating enough since especially MMS is not some new premium feature, in their very own network they supply that feature!) But they put a very loose deadline to roll it out “Late summer” Now, they will miss their own deadline that they advertised. Even if its a few days, that’s completely unacceptable! I don’t know, maybe since becoming a iPhone user, I’ve become spoiled and self-centered. But I think not only did they fail to stay on top of things, but also failed to at least keep us informed on the status of these features. But hey, maybe I’m just very nieve and have no idea what I’m talking about. However, AT&T has to be aware that they look stupid for not having these out with everyone else in the world. So they should be very clear why they can’t release it. Let us be informed about the unique situation they are in because of this and so I can at least be understanding.

Another thing is… What was it about these features that all the other international carriers could handle… But the once phone monopoly: AT&T, couldn’t handle?

It's been three years of not having MMS with the iPhone. I'm sure waiting a little longer will be worth it. I'm looking to it so that I can send my location, contacts and pictures through text.

I hope iPhone doesn't go to a sucky network like Verizon. I still doubt that it will ever go to other networks but if it does, again, I hope it's not a sucky network.

I wonder if AT&T realizes that by delaying the release for 3 days they have opened themselves and Apple up to huge amounts of legally sound lawsuits. How stupid, unless they turn it on sooner. They screwd up the first time, now they can’t even keep there “late summer” promise. Damn! When the iPhone becomes available on another network, I’m jumping ship. Not because of poor signal or dropped calls, but because of bad customer sevice. They lied! Plan and simple. They don’t value me as a customer. They just don’t care. Unless that changes, I’m gone!

My goodness. Just send a frickin’ e-mail with a picture or sound file attached. That’s like what, 1990s techology? Heck, maybe even 1980s. Still works pretty well. Is MMS really going to make your life better? One would think it is the ultimate game-changing event judged by these posts and so many others I have read. Yikes.

I bet this software update will block/disable the benm.at hack for tethering

ATT can’t win for losing. It sucks yes that MMS has taken so long. Whatever the reason is. But nevertheless this is partially Apples fault. They wanted society to move on to the latest an greatest technology which really was they wanted to figure out a way to implement it was more like it. People read between the lines.

I hate how people are complaining so much!! AT&T just Doesnt want any MORE bad reputations from network crashing. AT&T just wants a good user experience. The iPhone is a data HOG! and so many iPhones doesn't help the bandwith problem. So stop complaining if AT&T is a few days late!!!

I don't see people screaming at apple for coming out with rumoured or needed updates or product a few days later than expected or delayed a few months. Jeez...

I wonder if it will be earlier – Maybe they are under promising and planning to over deliver… which is a great customer service booster. Apple sort of did the same thing with Snow Leopard operating system… Just a thought…

Also after thinking about it – I would much rather get it and it be right verses – get it and it barely work (Verizon did that with the Blackberry Storm – let’s just say it was terrible no better yet a horrible experience – and helped me decide to come to iPhone)

Also, I hope they can flip a switch to improve the network capacity as I’ve not seen anything improve since they announced the 3GS in June. Maybe they have a huge amount of hidden capacity that they holding on to for MMS and on the 25th they’ll flip the switch and everything will be a cell phone 3G Utopia! Actual 3G speeds when I have 5 bars rather than spinning and nothing being transferred, forcing me to go to Edge to check email.

Maybe 3.1.1 will be released on the 25? Or maybe just a carrier upgrade via iTunes.

We will all have to download the update from iTunes. Remember how the activation experience was for a lot of people back in June and the year before? Probably not the “best possible experience” that AT&T keeps seeking.

Every generation of iPhone should have this feature. I will not be enticed to buy a new iPhone because of software updates.

For me to buy a new phone it must be another leap forward in technology.

http://www.att.com/gen/press-room?pid=1574 anyone else think its funny that although they are giving the original iphone no mms love on purpose because people have hacked it an proven it can mms the same as a 3g or 3gs iphone and the freakin original razor could mms and we know the iphone isnt even in the same class as the razor they still chose to have a lady using one in their post about iphone mms? and btw at&t maybe verizon can handle the iphone maybe they will do just as bad but the one good thing is competition breeds a better product and ur product is service and so far ur product is lacking no mms supposrt how come every other carrier could get there mms up and running before u?
