AT&T iPhone MMS Carrier Update Now Available via iTunes!
The AT&T Carrier Update (v5.5), required to enable MMS on the iPhone is now live and can be installed via iTunes. Just plug in your iPhone and if it doesn't pop up immediately, hit the check for updates button.
Note: You need to be running iPhone 3.1, so if you haven't updated your firmware yet, do that first.
Once loaded, reboot your iPhone and then head on over the Messages app and you should see the new (for the USA!) camera icon on the bottom left.
For more info, see Apple's support article on the matter, and TiPb's iPhone MMS Walkthrough from earlier today!
Then let us know how iPhone MMS on AT&T is working for you!

It's working perfect here in Hawaii
So far working here in Ohio...at least it says they have sent!
So if we have a JailBroken iPhone with OS 3.0.1 we are pretty much left without MMS? This is BS!!! I have been waiting ALL morning
I guess I'm gonna have to give up my jailbreak, gosh darn.
Mine works great. Interesting - the hacked carrier fail (file) was 5.1, now I see ATT 5.5. At any rate, there doesn't seem to be a difference in processing and sending/receiving speed.
It's cool! and finally here! Hopefully nothing will crash.
Still waiting.
Oh great. Someone just mooned me via MMS. I was wondering when some crazy crap like that would happen.
Ah, friends.
ha, about a month ago i called att and had txt's blocked completely from my phone. i guess i will never see the elusive iphone mms
my wifes phone no issue but mine has an error anyone seen this error with update for MMS on iPhone? http://pic.gd/15d840
Updated carrier file but cannot send MMS here in SE Okla. Could be that i'm roaming.
Prince.....I have a jailbroken phone and was able to get the carrier update without getting 3.1...mms works great!
Crazy, How for two years we all wanted mms, and it took less than 30 secounds to get and installed what a joke ATT and Apple! But Im happy to finally have it.
Brian, do u see anything different in the carrier 5.1 than in the 5.5, i have 5.1
Works here in SoCal. Awesome!
After you update carrier file you have to reset your phone, at first my mms wasnt working, then i reset n now im good ...... Central , nj
@bmfan
now why would you go and do a crazy thing like that?
I feel like my phone is complete.
BURN IN HELL VIEWMYMESSAGE.COM!!! DIE A SLOW PAINFUL DEATH!!!
Not yet. I got the hacked file yesterday and today I updated again through itunes. I've not seen anything except when you look under settings>general>network the MMS settings aren't there anymore. BUT the MMS options are still there under settings>messages.
I can't recieve mms
Yea view my message almost cost my phone its life a good few times ... Lol
Apple, You piece of monkey sh!t. Just because I don't wont your crappy new firmware 3.1(the iPhone comas and poor battery life), does that give you the right to keep a carrier update from me. The rest of the world didn't need to upgrade to have this function. They have had it for months now! I will be supporting the DEV TEAM because Apple abviously doesn't care about us the way they do!!! Eff you @ssholes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you don't want to upgrade to 3.1 here is the Apple link to the carrier file 5.5: http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iPhone/CarrierBundles/061-7282.20090925.3Sph5/ATT_US.ipcc
But I can send it
MMS is working good in NYC.
In atl it installed fine but I lost all text and mail sending. Anyone else with this problem?
MMS in Medford or
@veronica the new carrier file can be used while your wifi is on, something that 5.1 didnt allow me to do.
Chris try resetting your phone.
Can or can't I get mms on 3.0.1??? Somebody please?!?
@Johan I keep getting that too!!!
okay maybe im just slow... but after the update i was goign through the settings on my 3gs and in the ipod settings it gave me an option to turn "tv out" on or off... since when can the iphone do tv out?
@BigMeat: You can't get it on 3.0.1 but I posted a link to the 5.5 carrier file from Apple. You will just to follow the walkthroughs available that let us update to the hacked 5.1 file.
Can you have mms for a iPhone 2g?
I sent mms to test it to a friend. I sent a pic with a subject and some text...nothing happened. One with text and the pic...again, nothing. just sent it as a picture with no text and he got it...anyone else having this problem? i haven't tried it with text again cause he busy.
It eliminates the old option that use to be in General > Networks. Now it's just MMS On/Off in General > Messaging. Workings flawlessly in Michigan. I've sent and received to a person on At&t and T-Mobile.
No issues yet
I can't send or get MMS! was able to update it tho!
@epphillps Whats the difference between 5.1 and 5.5, i have 5.1, should i get 5.5??
STOP STOP STOP with the "it works here" posts. Please.
Post if it DOESN'T work.
Tennessee & working just fine
@epphllps: worked great! Thanks. I remain jailbroken with carrier 5.5! Shift-click "Update" to load the file...
@ Christine: I had the 5.1 and updated to the 5.5 on 3.0 and it takes away you ability to edit the APN settings(no longer need to of course) and other than it being the official carrier file, nothing I know of yet.
Guys, if your on 3.0 or 3.0.1. You might wanna hold off on trying to load a downloaded carrier file and load threw shift-restore method!! Apple is signing this also. Just like the ECID. It may not go as planned when you try to load it!! WAIT!!
I can send MMS but I am not receiving any. I had a friend try and send me a picture 3 times and I still haven't gotten it.
@russ, all ipods can do that...don't know if that setting was already there,
I'm in Pensacola, FL... iPhone 3G updated fine, but not working. Turned MMS on and rebooted my phone, but errors out when trying to send any form of MMS... gets the little red "!" icon. Also tried it on both WiFi and 3G. Same result. Hoping AT&T is just bogged down and it will fix itself soon.
@Johan, figures it out, I had to uninstall the custom carrier logo, if you have that installed get rid of it, it worked for me
LOL the ATT facebook site is getting flooded with people complaining about the 3.1 upgrade because they won't be able to tether or jailbreak. Someone needs to post that carrier file link on that page!
Got it...works...congratulations AT&T...now where's the tethering which is what I'd really rather have!
Updated to carrier to 5.5 but won't send pic messages only SMS
I'm gonna miss google voice but when I get home I'm updating to 3.1
It's working awesome!!! Already sent a lot of them already!
@Kevin Getting the same thing! If yours changes let me know how to fix it!
Is anyone else having problems receiving MMS? The person trying to send me the MMS is on Verizon if that makes a difference.
It's working good. Love it!
@Brian just reset and mail works but text seem to send but sill can't receive. Is this common?
@epphllps: where can I find the walkthrough for the hacked file. I downloaded the file & tried SHIFT & UPDATE but that doesnt work.
@jay. I can't anymore since I run the 3.1 on top of the old jailbreak. I probably have to do a full restore. My battery percentage is showing as well. Hmmm
@EricP:
It does make a difference. It can sometimes take as much as 12 hours for inter-carrier SMS/MMS. So test with another ATT user first.
In CT. Isntalled the file 5.5. When people sen dme MMS I get the viewmymessages.com thing and it i try to end i get a red !. WHat is going on?
So lets get the facts straighten out here... If you have 3.0 / 3.0.1 you can't get MMS regardless if you update the carrier file? Someone please confirm this.. I believe the cost benefit for MMS / Jailbreak is not worth it.
Why is that people think the iphone is behind by not doing MMS? When it's other phones that can do MMS. But are wwwaaaayyyyyy behind cause they cant do email!!!!! The first MMS was sent out in 2002. The first email in the mid 1960's!!!! Somebody please explain.
MMS iPhone live here in Jersey, but sending a pic is damn slow.
really dont use this, but still glad its finally here
working here in Lee's Summit, MO
working great here in boston
@icebike hmmm the ones I sent to my friend on Verizon were received in about 5 minutes. I can't test sending to any friends with iPhones since I don't know anyone who had a chance to update yet.
i'm lovingggggggggg it
I can't wait to get home today to get my mms .
Tried the 5.5 carrier file on a jailbroken 3.0 3GS. Same thing as before.. red exclamation.. grrr.
I have it and it works. (NYC) What do we #@@#@# about next? No tethering??
Anyone getting this to work while still running their 3gs at 3.0?
I have 3.1 on my iPhone, I just rebotted and still have 5.1. Am I spossed to reload something off of iTunes? Help please, anyone, I'm crying hear, I want to join in the fun.
Works here in the Lawrence,KS/Kansas City Area yeah
@NEA Arkansas Boy download the carrier update from iTunes then reboot iphone.
3.1 can be hacked FYI Just be smart and get a mac !
I'm not jailbroken anymore but I am running benm's tethering hack.. any chance this could be screwing with the update? anyone else that my be using this hack confirm this?
Works iPhone to iPhone but cannot receive pic messages from VZW users. WTF?!?!?
I got MMS on Jailbreak 3.0.1 working fine.
Now, I'll never use it.
I'm in San Diego and my pics did get delivered just fine after I updated the carrier file. By the way my iPhone is not jailbroken. I'm using the latest iTunes and 3.1. Thanks iPhone Blog. You are far more informative than AT&T. I was waiting on the text from AT&T giving me the green light. It hasn't came yet and who knows how long I would've waited. Thanks for the info Rene Ritchie! Very much appreciated!
Great. Now what about tethering?....
also if someone has updated and you still can't text pics audio videos etc.. turn ur phone off and restart it.. worked for me
Here's how to install the update WITHOUT installing 3.1 (for you naughty jailbreakers) http://brandongoodman.posterous.com/updating-iphone-atandt-carrier-settings-to-ac
Thanks a bunch freiteez!
Not working here in CO.

Quick question.. has anyone here recieved a MMS from a non iphone user as of yet?
@daje, is your friend with AT&T?
@Omar, nope. I've had several try to send me a pic message from other carriers and they aren't coming thru. SUCKS!
i can't send a pic msg to my cousin who has att but not an iphone and i can't receive them from her either yet. my friend just sent me a pic msg from her verizon phone and i got it.
@Pholey22.. thank for the reply.. this totally SUCKS!!! its like 1 way fun
QUICK QUESTION, IM ON AT&T PREPAID GOPHONE WIT IPHONE 3G ON 3.0.1 WILL THIS WORK FOR ME ?
@Omar, I know what gives?!? Maybe they are having overload problems....as we expected. Sometime next week I'll have 15 pic messages finally come thru.
I got pics from verizon phones, AT&T phones, and tmobile mines works
@Pholey22, lol your prob right.
@Bre bre, yur lucky!! Not able to receive pic message from anyone who doesn't have an iPhone. Tried two different VZW phones and notta.
OK so does anyone else have the option for tethering under the network setting
a big Thank yo. For the people that have provided links for people trying to upgrade their mms without losin. 3.0/3.01 jailbreak!
I'm on 3.0 and there is no way I'm upgrading to 3.1 and give up everything I have for something that should of came on the original 2g phone back in 2007.
I will try this and update the forum when I get home from work.
Long live JAILBREAK!!!
A big thank you****
I have sent and received picture messages. BUT, I had my g/f send me a mms from her verizon phone and it still hasnt come thru (about 1 hour later) so I am not quiet sure why that pic message is slow but the other ones are coming thru? Any suggestions?
@Brandon Goodman thanks for the link! I got to the shift updates part in iTunes but can't get it to let me browse for the new profile. Just keeps telling me currect v. of itunes is up to date & then tries to get me to update to 3.1. Any help on this?
