Hello there, just doing some research for my Akron 4g website. Can't believe the amount of information out there. Wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but cool site. Have a good day.

The trick for me was the soft reboot. Even though iTunes rebooted my phone for me, that didn't do the trick. I had to turn it off manually and then turn it back on.

I GOT MINE TODAY AFTER I REBOOTED! THANKS APPLE......

By: Antonio

Antonio — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 03:43:39 +0000

remember for the ones that can't get the MMS to work still try a soft reset on your iphone....hold down the home screen button and the power button at the same time. until you see the apple appear then wait for the phone to reboot then try and send to someone a pic...should work fine after that...Remember AT&T are just getting this out there so behind so we'll see how this ends up playing out right.....

I spoke to soon. Every time I try to send a picture along with the message it times out and I get a red dot with an exclamation inside of it. If I tap that a message comes up that my MMS message has not been sent and I have the choice to resend or cancel. I've tried about 5 different ones and each has come back with the same response but one went through (somehow -even though every one has timed out) as I got a response from a friend.

Just got it here in Hudson, OH. The Carrier Update shows up when you plug your phone into iTunes. It isn't a regular software update that shows on your main screen. MMS is working after a reboot of my phone.

Antonio — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 19:42:08 +0000

I jus got the message an it says. AT&T Free Msg: Picture and video messaging (MMS) is now available for iPhone. Your existing messaging plan includes unlimited send and receipt of text, picture & video messages. To enable MMS, connect your iPhone to your computer and click "Check for Update" in iTunes, then restart your iPhone.- too bad im at work but i cant wait to get home!!!

If you got the carrier update, just reboot your phone and you're good

By: MrsG

well, they said LATE morning which probably means 11 am PST. or, if they're anything like me, 6pm PST.

does anyone know if taxes houston users are getting mms

By: beamergirl

beamergirl — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 10:54:43 +0000

Same here...north of ATL and still NO MMS. Itunes had an update during routine software update and I got all excited for NOTHING.

I did not receive that system msg from AT&T. The only other system message I got was the one stating that they were finished in ATL updating the towers and that was during the "summer".

one more day iphone users. I think AT&T is doing a good job, if you sit and think about it, the iphone isn't just a cell phone, it's a mini computer. and as most computers they need updates. so lets stop pointing fingers at AT&T, it's apple's fault we didn't have MMS from the start. Verizon would be in the same boat if they carried the iphone.

I got the message on my iphone yesterday but still not working MMS I think there was be a very large MMS spike on friday but other then that, i think the world will be fine and ATT will report on how good the launch went and the world will keep on turning.

My question is what will happen when I download the new carrier file through iTunes. Will it also force me to upgrade to 3.1? I don't really want 3.1. Too many bugs. That, and it'll kill my jailbreak.

Not sure if anyone has posted this yet, but be careful when you get your first bill after they turn MMS on. When Rogers (in Canada) turned MMS on a couple months ago, it was NOT included in my "unlimited" messaging plan, and it was costing me $0.50/message for outgoing AND incoming. I called them and, since all new plans included MMS along with SMS in the unlimited messages, they added it to my account. Just a heads up that the same thing might happen with AT&T...

By: Joe

Joe — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 21:05:35 +0000

I've yet to receive the text message from AT&T. I've got a 3G. Looking forward to the 25th. - Va Beach, VA.

AT&T MMS Update: We know you’ve been eager for this service so we wanted to offer a quick update on the launch plans for MMS on Friday, Sept. 25. Late morning, Pacific Time, on Friday, the new carrier settings update enabling MMS should be live and ready ...to download through iTunes. We’ll provide the steps and all of the details you need right here at that time.

Since MMS goes through data adding MMS for iPhones is just upping the data capacity. Yes

did anyone here who received the text from AT&T, still have MMS working via the carrier file?

By: G-man

G-man — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 17:53:55 +0000

I have heard different reports on how the carrier will get to us, via itunes or airway. and I have been to many forums, to get more info and to make better since of it all. and it doesn't help, when the forums are flooded by those who jailbroke their iphone. I would like to hear real result from real non-JB iphone users. oh btw, no mms here. 3.1/5.0

By: Stan The Man

Stan The Man — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 17:51:27 +0000

I've been an AT&T wireless customer since 2000 and I've have MMS for most of them Until the iPhone 2G. My lowly Razr was able to do everything a cell phone should do well (except Internet was slow). Even voice dialing worked pretty well. Friday will come and go and I still won't be able to text pictures. I guess I could put the sim back in my V3xx and use my 2G like an itouch.

So how do I get the carrier file 5.1? Will I have to get it from iTunes??? Or is there a nother way to get it ????

By: Rob

Rob — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 17:20:11 +0000

My computer is fried so I can't get the latest update from iTunes so I guess I'll have to wait until I get a new computer or try and get mine fixed.

I haven't got the text from ATT here in Southern California. I agree with the others that have said this, but I highly doubt they will have MMS working for everyone on Friday. I think that they are going to roll it out in phases so they don't "overload" their network. If this turns out to be true and I don't have MMS on Friday, I am going to call and complain since that's false advertising. Heck, maybe I can get a credit or something since I'm still within my 30 days cancellation period!

By: Dryland

Dryland — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 17:01:36 +0000

MMS working here in Atlanta. The other day my "email to text" number sequence changed. So I loaded the 5.1 carrier file and MMS worked. JB'n 3.0.1 3GS.

i was told by them it will be an over the air update. i wonder if they can even have enough bandwidth for that let alone the first people sending annoying amounts of mms. guess we will see

By: Al

Al — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 16:50:01 +0000

@Matty - some have installed the carrier file early which give you access to the photo button in the Messages app. It doesn't necessarily mean you have the ability to send though.

By: Al

Al — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 16:48:23 +0000

@poorpimp - I have the updated carrier file and I have no MMS in Indy.

By: Matty

Matty — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 16:22:21 +0000

I assume I don't have MMS working since the camera picture is not next to the text imput.

I mean without the hack.... Officially would be a better term.

By: SomeGuy

SomeGuy — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 16:04:46 +0000

@ Spiff

What do you mean "legitimately"? For those of us who have had it just pop up...or "hacked" it....is it stealing in anyway? My message plan on ATT is unlimited audio, video, and text(non iphone plan)....Im technically paying for what im using. I dont think anyone could MMS without changing their actually plan to allow it. Is it wrong because we activated it before we had daddy Apple and mama ATT tell us we could. I think we're just as legitimate as those who allow ATT to call all the shots.

I even feel the same for tethering. Im still 3.01 and i have no plans to update just yet. I tether WELL within the 5gb and I feel no convinction that i stealing or bucking the system. Sure ATT says we're hurting towers by tethering(whatever), but thats their fault the slow, ungrateful, non upgrading, microcell-selling-when-they-need-to-update-towers bums. ATT is full of it. Why they got the iPhone exclusive....ill never know

Does anyone know if Indiana users are getting early mms usage?

By: Spiff

To those who have mms LEGITIMATELY

How did you get 5.1, was it through iTunes or over the air!?

Did you get any kind of notification!?

I so don't care. I only get 200 texts/mo with my plan. I get unlimited data so I just e-mail everything. I e-mail photos to people's text address. I'll probably play with it but I doubt it'll be my standard.

By: Breezy

Breezy — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 15:11:10 +0000

Yesterday I talked to an AT&T rep. She told me that if you phone was hacked for mms come Friday they will be able to determine that,and your warranty will automaticaly expire.

I've had MMs ever since 3.1 was released. My friend and I installed the 5.1 carrier file and we both have had it ever since.

I like it much more than emailing pictures.

Working MMS here in Miami. On FW 3.0, 3G iPhone. For the people that have installed the carrier file 5.0 & above & MMS DOESNT work, you need to check your online bill & make sure it says something like "opt out". Then you are good to go.

By: OmariJames

OmariJames — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 12:56:29 +0000

Is the AT&T network really that weak ? You guys make it seem like AT&T never had mms. I'm sure not every single iPhone user is going to constantly be sending mms at the same time. However I'm sure mms share apart of the data network so I suppose it MIGHT take a hit but not as big as you guys make it seem.

It seems that AT&T has made some improvements over the months to their 3G so I'm less worried about the network crashing.

By: Ivan Williams

Ivan Williams — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 12:52:43 +0000

Some others in Atlanta have it working, but, I'm here, too, and it's not 'on', yet, on my iPhone.

Once we iPhone lovers get MMS, what will we be waiting for next?

Fact: You will get a notification when you sync with iTunes. Kind of like the firmware updates but it's extremely fast.

I believe (but not 100% certain) it will just be a Carrier Update via iTunes, which only takes a second unlike Firmware Updates.

By: Bre bre

Bre bre — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 12:35:37 +0000

Yeah I was wondering the same thing will we have to use iTunes or will that update just come to our phone? Could sumone answer that…

How are these people getting MMS? I checked iTunes last night and no update. I tried a reboot right now and no MMS.

Will we be installing 3.1.1 on Friday? Does anyone know?

By: BG

I have had mine working since 3.1 was released, I installed the 5.1 carrier and the modified MMS profile and it has been working ever since.
