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!

Around 2pm EST, I checked for an update and was able to load 5.5 After the reboot, MMS functionality is present. NE PA.
Tested sending picture and text to Verizon phone. Arrives almost immediately.
Tested receiving picture and text to Verizon phone. Huge delay. (over 10 minutes or more)
Tested sending to picture and text to AT&T non-iPhone. So far not recieved.
Tested sending video to AT&T non-iPhone. Only audio is received.
Download the carrier file from another website, hold alt and click update in iTunes, load carrier file. Won't require upgrade to 3.1 if you're jailbroken. If you have a 3G then 3.1 has already been jailbroken. Just google around people these answers exist and writing something in all caps on a swamped message board will do you no good. Use your brain if you have one.
3Gs. 3.1 Carrier 5.5 in Northeastern PA.
I have 3.0 os (not jailbroken) and did the 5.5 carrier file update and everything works great, MMS out and in to all carriers....
For anyone that wants to remain on 3.0, or 3.01 but still install the carrier update: -Download the ipcc from here: http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iPhone/CarrierBundles/061-7282.20090925.3Sph5/ATT_US.ipcc
-Install it with option/shift update. I'm still on 3.0 (3GS) and it worked fine.
i already send 60 mms pic's lol att
Yep Guys it does work on 3.0 on a 3G S!!
http://brandongoodman.posterous.com/updating-iphone-atandt-carrier-settings-to-ac
Works in south Georgia. Finally after 2 years I can get mms!!!
Can send pics and r recieved but video is sent but no body recieved it. Not on AT&T or other networks. I can recieve video but no one recieved it from me. Have most current update no jailbreak or hack on phone 3gs 32g
Here is how to get it working without using 3.1
http://www.techjawa.com/2009/09/25/guide-get-mms-on-att-iphone-3g3gs-os-3-0-3-01-official/
Brandon Goodman & Jesh are correct...Thank You!! the install of carrier 5.5 while being able to stay JB on 3.0.1 is PRICELESS!! i can keep my iPhone working as it was and not have to lose my JB just to get MMS. S W E E T!!
I have a JB 3G with 3.0. I did the 5.5 update using the update and I'm working and good to go. Tried and succeeded with Verizon and Sprint. Everything works fine. Took a little longer to send, but I'm on Edge in the northwoods of MN.
So I updated to 5.5 from 5.1, and now my music is gone. It says I have 0 songs, but the amount of space they take up on my phone is still there. When I plug my iPhone into iTunes, the songs show up under "music". Any suggestions outside of a full restore? Please email me at Elijahpr@gmail.com if you have a suggestion. Thanks!
I'm jailbroken and have had MMS for over a month now. I'm on an iPhone 3g running 3.0.1 just go to mms.iphoneaero.us and follow his tutorial. All you need is a ATT non-iPhone and to be able to access your ATT account online..... KEEP YOUR JAILBREAK!
Doesn't work in Maine
Video is confirmed sent but other phones do not get it. Sent to 2 tmoble 3 AT&T 1 sprint 1 boost nobody got the videos tried 4 different videos and 1 animation. Nothing
Cannot receive pic message from VZW when on Edge. Came thru on 3G. Checking to see if wifi is blocking it too. Had to turn it off to get my first non-iPhone pic message.
MMS had been working for me just fine since wednesday. 3.0 firmware, jailbroken, carrier file 5.2. As of today, it has stopped working. I've updated to the carrier file 5.5 and it's still not working. AT&T can die
hey i got an iphone 3gs 32gb factory and legally unlocked that i bought in hong kong which i'm using for tmobile. i have the 3.1 firmware on my iphone, once i sync.......would it let me upgrade for the mms or do you think itunes has predetermined that my carrier is not at&t and wouldn't receive the upgrade?........... thanks
Wifi not blocking. Just tested...
Been getting lots of time-outs sending pic MMS's in Detroit area... red explanation marks... if I keep retrying they eventually go through.
Do half of you actually read the posts before you type or ask a question? I just read through every comment and most of your answers are a few posts prior. READ PEOPLE!!!
i have to recant my last statement. my JB 3.0.1 3GS is NOT working. i see the options in Message settings for MMS, but when trying to send pic i get the red exclamation. F**K! i guess i'll just wait. i'm not willing to lose the functionality of my JB iPhone just to send a pic. i'll email the pic or post it on my blog. until then...
MMS's clogged up here in New Orleans, LA
I can send pics but if any sends me a pic it says One or more of the message components have been deleted by MMS Adaptation. Either the message was too large or the components were unsuitable for your terminal. anyone getting this error message?
@EAPR To fix the music not showing up problem, add, delete, or rename a song in itunes and then resync.
Just upgraded, not getting any mms's. my hacked carrier file worked just fine this morning and now the real one wont work great
MMS working in S.Cali awesome!!!!!!
i cant update my carrier settings..ikeep getting an error!!! someone help!
Sent pics to Sprint,verizon and tmobile. took less then 10 seconds to send. I am jailbroken on 3.0.1 with carrier 5.5
Got the update in NC on my prepaid. I get the red exclamation mark to resend everytime and I don't recieve MMS sent to me!!! Anyone else?
in eastern PA btw
i got the red exclamation with the first pic i tried to send. I retried to send it two minutes later and it worked
This may sound strange but the 5.5 carrier file update has fixed my battery life issues, I have had the update installed now for several hours on a full charged battery and my battery is still on 99% after sending MMS messages and browsing the web, before the update I could literally watch my battery drain, now that's better news than the MMS to me...
Working here in Delaware with no issues
Not working in Detroit, I can send them but the other party don't get it and when they send one to me I don't get it, I really can't beleive the network is down allready!!! BS
I just got an MMS that a friend sent 9:30 last night.
got it, installed, rebooted, but it isn't working. I goes to send, then hangs up at about 80% for a long while, then I get the red exclamatin points. Full 3G signal. In SoCal.
I had 5.1 for a couple weeks now, worked great When I added one more than 1 person to a text it turned into a GROUP MMS, kind of like a chatroom between more than 3 or more people...Names showed up in smaller letters and you were able to send texts between a bunch of people in the same box. Now that i updated to 5.5, the option is gone
Same thing as Jeremy above......just hangs around 80-90% then rejects couple minutes later
Got the carrier 5.5 files. I was getting the red exclamation each time I tried to send. The sending bar would nearly complete then the mms would fail. Now it's working. Looks like there are some issues.
cant update carrier settings as well pls help!!!
i'm getting the same thing as Jeremy and Pete. i have tried to send a message to ppl on att, verizon, and sprint and they all did the same thing...
Oklahoma City, 3:35 pm Central time. Downloaded the update, rebooted phone, tried to send picture, failed with red exclamation point. Many retries, still failure.
@mark082 @Jeremy @ Pete same here in CT
Reset your network settings then try again.
I downloaded and updated and restarted my phone but I still can't send pic messages. There is an error every time. I can receive them but they won't send. HELP!!
Works perfectly for me!!! About time!... Pictures, videos, voice memos, and contacts have been sent and recieved all morning since I got the update, and it has worked flawlessly. The first time I used it messages came through kinda slow. Since then they have been very fast.
The 1st time mine hung up at 80% too, but I did tried a 2nd time and it went through, The only dif is that I did not have any txt, I did have a subject.
Keep getting timeouts (red explanation marks) sending pics... I hate AT&T. They either need to fix their sh.it or put a hault to new customers. It is obvious they are overloaded and cannot handle any more customers. I want a refund. This should be illegal.
There is a workaround for this if you are on 3.0.1 You can install the 5.5 Updated Carrier file manually. Working fine here with Itunes 9.
Gettin nothing in Dover, Delaware yet... Raged! LOL
Same as 139, 141, & 146. I sent a couple right when I got it at noon and it worked fine.
Minneapolis, MN.
Servers crashing down???
I havent even been able to update... says its the current version still >_<
Im annoyed now. I want that GROUP messaging back
Red errors here in Ohio!!! Grrrrrr
So got home, updated, waited a while to try. Just tried and it still says sending...Well now says it failed. Indiana here
Works for verizon and AT&T , takes forever no us cell though
It's 5pm on the East Coast and 4 in Central, plus it's a Friday. People are getting off work, going home, updating and sending MMS. There's a good chance the server is going down or running really slow. From now till about 8pm EST will be the busy time. If you haven't updated yet I would wait. I haven't b/c of this thiing called work and they tend to frown when you miss time. So I'll be waiting till later tonight.
Message send failure every time but it worked earlier today
EVERYONE LISTEN UP IF U HAVE A JAILBROKEN PHONE RUNNING 3.0 OR 3.0.1 AND DO NOT WANT TO UPDATE ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ADD THE SINFUL IPHONE REPO IN CYDIA AND INSTALL MMS AND TETHERING SETTINGS AND BAM! UR DONE MMS ON 3.0. THANK ME LATER
AT&T sucks... This still don't work... Months of waiting and it sill don't work... Blackberry bold 2 here I come..
Phoenix area here. MMS worked a few times around noon. Now all MMS sent are failing. I believe their servers are overloaded. For some reason.... I'm not surprised.
I have a little bit of water damage, so I cannot turn off my iphone (power button absolutely does not do anything). I guess I will have to restore to get it to power cycle. Oh well...
Can only send and receive from other iphones in Missouri. If they are out of network or a different phone no go jo!
i had to restore, then bam got the "hey, mms is coming" text and updated and it works
If you iphone is jailbroken or unlocked you will get a network error, I wiped my phone then it updated no problem still cannot send in Boise,ID
Still isn't working in Cleveland Ohio. Updated carrier file, still getting red exclamation point saying message send failure. hmm. i hate at&t.
Had done all updates, still wasn't able to send or receive MMS, even though my parents' phones were able to. Kept getting the red exclamation. After an hour on the phone with AT&T, they found out that, for some reason, the system was recognizing my phone as a 2G still. They corrected the issue on their end...all is working great now! Just figured I'd give this info in case anyone else had done the updates and still couldn't send/receive....and had previously upgraded from the original 2G iPhone. =)

been an hour and i stil cant update my carrier setting!!!! anyone jave an answer for this?
Note to jailbreakers!
Disable any changes to your carrier name (AT&T Carrier Logo or MIM). This will cause an error.
Running iPhone 3GS w/ 3.0 and carrier file 5.5 just fine. =) Was getting errors from iTunes trying to install the carrier file manually when I had the carrier logo installed.
do you have to send a message in 3g or can you send one in edge?
i have a jailbroken 3.1 shouldnt that work perfectly..cant update carrier settings...same as mike and ryan
Can I just download carrier file 5.5 and update the way I did 5.1 yesterday with my 3.0.1 Jailbreak? If not, why should I upgrade? MMS works just fine for me here in LI,NY.
Downloaded the update, restarted and all I get is the apple logo in the middle of the screen...tried to restart again...can't turn it off?? Help!
I just loaded file and restarted phone. Tested and working in Mississippi!
I can send pics no problem here in Philly suburbs (to ATT and Verizon). Able to receive from ATT, but not from Verizon yet...
Yawn...I sent a photo via text. Back to work now.
If some of you that still can't send you might want to call AT&T. I called and they still had me under my iPhone 2G and not my 3Gs.
I am having the same problem, The txt pic run thru about 80% then hangs up. Tried to send my first pic. It took over a hour
nelson i got the apple logo too for a while but u have to let it sit there. it just takes a while booting up after u restarted it for the first time. after that it restarts fast again.
thanks Iaurent...how long? been a good 15 minutes!
Ah, 5.5 allows Wifi? Guess I'll be updating just the carrier file tonight!
yay i have mms now!! im in abita springs, louisiana!!
Still not working for me!
Just get red! and failure to send notice, is this just the busy server.
Loaded it on my 3GS from iTunes just now, shut off the iPhone and turned it back on. Daughter sent a picture from her regular phone and it came through and I sent one just fine to her and a few others on other carriers with no problems.
Works great here in Clearwater, FL(Tampa Bay). Can send/receive photos in texts and to those on other carriers. Took a photo within the Message app and worked just fine
Kept on getting the little exclamation point as well for a while. i just shut it down and rebooted and now it seems to work "ok".
has anyone had the apple logo for up to a half hour after restarting?? Nothing is happening??
I'm getting the message send failure. This blows!
I updated everything and rebooted and I'm still getting the red exclamation point! Help!!
I can receive with any setting but can only send without 3G or WiFi turned on. DFW with iPhone 3G(no hacks, 3.1, 5.5)
No luck in st. Louis.
MMS works great, still missing tethering... shakes fist
Mine is working now guys. Both ways!
Getting red exclamation..... FAILURE TO SEND!!!!! ANYONE????
@Pholey22 no my friend is not with AT&T one is with t-mobile and the other is with us cellular and i got both results both times they both said test came and then when i sent the pic by itself they said they got it
