AT&T Activates MMS Functionality for U.S. iPhone Users

[MacRumors]

As previously scheduled, AT&T has activated MMS for iPhone 3G and 3GS users in the United States, bringing to an end months of speculation and waiting since software support for the feature was introduced in iPhone OS 3.0 in mid-June.

Apple has posted a support article outlining the process for activating MMS, which involves updating a carrier settings file on users' iPhones via iTunes. Users are prompted to connect their iPhone to iTunes and click the "Check for Update" button. Users should update to iPhone OS 3.1 if they have not already done so, and then click the "Update Settings" button on the pop-up window notifying them that a new carrier settings file is available.

After installation of the new carrier settings file, users must restart their devices. Apple recommends that users verify that the functionality is active by creating a new text message. A camera icon should be available.

FINALLY!!! Now we can bitch about something else it doesn't have!

 

[ahaley1986]

had to restart it first but works now!!!

 

[oliverruhm]

Welll....

I live in Europe, and I'm using MMS on my iPhone 3G for ages now. I think it is over-hyped and buggy.

 

[Tonezorz]

Any method for us 3.0 Jailbroken users?

 

[Daremo]

Nice! After 2 years, finally.

 

[Daiden]

Yes! Although I'm sure the novelty will wear out in a few days, I'm glad MMS is here.

 

[thegoldenmackid]

what will iphone.aggie and Unspoken Demise talk about now...

More importantly, how am I going to make a phone call with this network that is clearly not capable...

 

[kenzbud]

About time!

 

[rhett7660]

I got MMS now, where's tethering?

 

[JRomero]

This marks the end of an era of "When are we getting MMS?!?!?!" threads on this forum.

 

[alent1234]

why the restart? i thought using a UNIX OS meant that you never have to restart?

 

[skythefly13]

Network crashing in 3....2....1....

 

[gmanist1000]

Mine isn't sending.

 

[dwman]

FINALLY!!! Now we can bitch about something else it doesn't have!

Thanks. I got a good laugh from this. Sadly, it's true.

 

[ryanmcv]

Just got it. Works great!

 

[EgbertAttrick]

Woohoo. Let's take down this fraggin' network!

 

[KindredMAC]

Still don't understand why my First Gen iPhone won't be able to do it. My 3 year old Sony W810i could MMS 3 YEARS AGO!!!!

 

[nickXedge]

Available 5 minutes before I have to leave for work for the next 9 hours!! Freakin' sweet!!!

who would want to upgrade to 3.1 when it makes your phone turn off unexpectedly.
