Would have been nice for the tutorial to actually say that. Annoying.

so thats all you have to do is take off the .zip part?

Just an update on my situation (Houston, Texas, 3GS with 3.1 and 5.1): It works now.

It's a little slow, but I've been able to both send and receive.
I don't remember everything I did, but I know I restarted my phone multiple times, reset all network settings, and messed with the stuff under Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data Network (but it's at default again, I'm pretty sure). It wasn't working this morning, but I tried around 1:30 and it's been working ever since.

Any steps you took? I did the .ipcc update and MMS fails, but I got tethering

Edit - I'm jailbroken btw

My 3GS is not jailbroken.
Just using the 5.1 file.

It seems AT&T is performing a rolling deployment of MMS to each region/tower or whatever.
The "flip of the switch" would be the carrier file I would assume.
This would explain a lot if it is in fact the case.

How are you guys enabling family messaging? What does this do to your rate plan costs?

Yes, and name it IPCC.

I have all the options now, just can't send a damn pic still. Sucks.

TheMBC · Sep 10, 2009, 04:11 PM

For those that say it's working: is the MMS Opt Out still in your bill?

yeah i figured it out. tired sending a pic but it doesnt work. its weird cause someone on here said that lake charles, la and new orleans, la worked. im in lafayette, la which is dead in the middle of the two and still doesnt work.

Ferris23 · Sep 10, 2009, 04:14 PM

From what I am reading it's because they have family messaging enabled, which from what I can see would raise my account 10 bucks.

I'll just wait till Sept. 25th

JGruber · Sep 10, 2009, 04:15 PM

I the family messaging plan, and it doesn't work for me at all. Sending to an iPhone or non-iPhone. Based in the IE in Ca.

That is exciting, I'm 'kinda' close to the OC. Maybe it will work for me.

dkh587 · Sep 10, 2009, 04:52 PM

Upstate South Carolina here. Updated to 3.1, and then loaded the carrier file. MMS working! I turned on airplane mode, opened messages, no icon, turned off airplane mode, and went back to messages, BOOM, icon up! I also have a regular texting plan and not the iPhone texting plan..

upnorth067 · Sep 10, 2009, 05:07 PM

Anyone get MMS to work in Atlanta, GA?

Bacong · Sep 10, 2009, 05:16 PM

Not working for me. I rebooted, reset internet settings, nothing. I got the picture icon but they will not send.

bobpedro · Sep 10, 2009, 05:17 PM

Working fine in western kentucky. 3gs 3.0.1 jailbroken, 5.1 ipcc.

Mystikal · Sep 10, 2009, 05:19 PM

Still not working for me in the OC. Ill leave the carrier file on and try it periodically.

5.1 IPCC, OS 3.0, ive rebooted, reset settings then rebooted, and entered the username and pass in settings and rebooted and no luck. Don't have the family text plan. Cant send to myself or receive from others. Interesting...

jav6454 · Sep 10, 2009, 05:21 PM

Everyone try their Tethering capabilities. Whether MMS works or not. I would like to see if there is a trend.

I'd love to if I knew how. Perhaps a quick run-through of the necessary steps.

bobpedro · Sep 10, 2009, 05:26 PM

tethering still working as well. Videos are tiny when sent to an email address via mms tho... really blocky.

Just enable Tethering on your iPhone and hook up to your computer either thru BlueTooth or USB.

If you can connect, you are good, (try loading MR or Gizmodo). If you can't then tethering doesn't work for you yet.
