In Las Vegas, had MMS over the weekend. Now has failed multiple times. Also unable to send ANY text messages through the iPhone using 3G network. I've turned off 3G network under settings and I can send text messages once again. Turn 3G back on and one message goes through, the rest fail. Sounds to me like there's not enough bandwidth on the ATT 3G network in Las Vegas

Im in ATL, GA and still I'm not seeing the MMS icon to add a picture. I just got off the phone with Apple and they told me to go under Settings -> Messaging and turn on the MMS but it doesn't give me the option to do that. So they switched me to AT&T and they said that it may not be available until later this afternoon so hopefully their right. Do you think it might be because I have 3.0 Software and not the 3.1 Software? Can somebody please help me out. FML!

iPhone OS 3.1, (updated 9/9/09), MMS was functional OFFICIALLY, no jailbreak/unlock, since 9/9. Using AT&T 5.0 IPCC with MMS/Tethering. Standard settings provided with IPCC, no changes required. Depends on account provisioning though. If you have family messaging, which includes MMS, MMS works as the account, and all lines, have access to the MMSC. Just takes the software on the iPhone to do the rest.

hey did anyone else get this text? I got it today. AT&T Free Msg: Picture & video messaging (MMS) will be available for iPhone on 9/25. While we prepare your account for MMS capability, the current "view my message" experience will be turned off but your ability to send and receive text messages will not be affected.

I have applied the carrier file floating around to my 3.1 3g pwned and my 3.0 3g JB with redsnow. I would like to report both phones are able to send and receive MMS and visual voice mail works great. The only issue I have is the carrier file does not contain a username / password. In short you can only send mms on edge and 3g no WIFI.

By: David

David — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 03:10:40 +0000

icebike, exactly. The current carrier file supplied by Apple/AT&T does not provide for enabled MMS on the phone itself. The only way to even have the camera icon enabled, regardless of whether one can actually send or receive an MMS, is to apply the carrier file update. Simply put, no iPhone running the 'latest' software obtained through iTunes is going to be able to MMS right now -- not until AT&T offers the carrier file update later this month.

By: Joey N

Joey N — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 02:23:16 +0000

I installed the AT&T 5.1 carrier file per the instructions in Luke's post that points you to:

http://www.appleiphoneschool.com/2009/09/12/how-to-enable-mms-picture-messaging-on-your-iphone/

After installing the new carrier file and rebooting the phone, I have the MMS function enabled...HOWEVER, the status bar stops just short of complete...wait a bit longer...RED EXCLAMATION POINT!

I'm in Detroit. I guess I'll see if I can send tomorrow!

I am in Cleveland, OH. I am on an iphone 3g (jailbroken 3.0) and I updated to ATT carrier 5.0 file per the appleiphoneschool.com directions. I was able to send MMS to a verizon wireless user, but when they sent me a pic I didn't get it. So I guess it's halfway deployed in Cleveland OH. It was pretty cool when I got it working.

So, David you are saying that, as far as you know, every report of getting MMS working is due to using a non-official carrier file?

The press seems to think there are a LOT of people getting MMS, but very few of the articles mention the 5.1 trick.

By: David

David — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 22:09:21 +0000

Icebike, I'm certain no one who's using MMS on AT&T is using the pre-packaged carrier file. The entire purpose of the 5.1 carrier file is to enable those features on the phone; the carrier file bundled with the latest official update has MMS and Tethering set to off.

I doubt MMS availability has anything to do with location, but instead is simply based on whatever random method AT&T is using to go through and activate it on each account.

By: icebike

icebike — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 22:03:14 +0000

ATT insists they have not turned on MMS:

http://blogs.usatoday.com/technologylive/2009/09/att-no-early-mms-for-iphones.html

So I have to ask:

Does Anyone here have MMS on AT&T who:

1) is not jailbroken

2) Has not installed an unauthorized/third party carrier file?

3) is using a US/ATT iPhone?

4) has not in any way tinkered around with the phone?

Show of hands please?

Carrier files can belivered OTA or via iTunes, but the current one is 5.0, so if you did some gray-market upgrade to 5.1 (Like David and COOLJoe), you don't count...

@EAPR

I believe what others are expressing regarding the upgrade to 3.1 is the sacrifice of features that are currently enabled on their phones. If the phone is jailbroken with MMS and tethering, not to mention other ideal functions which are currently not offered through Apple; all of that would be relinquished after the upgrade until there is a safe way to side load those features back on.

3.1 does not offer enough changes to warrant that temporary loss for some people. I don't think it has anything to do with the time and effort to upgrade.

Hope that helps.

whats strange for me is in my network settings i have i have MMS but my vvm is gone. The only thing i have done was the hack to get tethering a few months before 3.1 came out. My tethering is still there but the vvm info is gone there isn't even an area for me do add acds.voicemail very strange, i guess ill use the 5.1 carrier file.
