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

Weird, I have the benm.at hack on OS 3.0 and I just decided to try MMS without upgrading using the IPCC file diddy posted. It worked. Before I'd get a little red exclamation point saying it could not send. So I guess the update isn't totally necessary - though I'm sure YMMV.
 
Jb 3gs

Downloaded the 5.5 carrier files and it works on my jailbroken 3GS with 3.0.1!! Took literally less than 1 minutes for the entire process.
Thanks for posting up the file.

When I was running firmware 3.0, the above sequence (modify iTunes with Terminal command, and then option+click to install an .ipcc file) was EXACTLY what I did to enable tethering. And that "hack" was the ONLY hack I had ever done to my iPhone. And when I installed firmware 3.1 over that hack, I had a LOT of problems with my iPhone. Problems that an AT&T level 2 tech IMMEDIATELY identified by asking flat out if I had installed a carrier settings hack.

I'm not suggesting that nobody do the above. I'm only saying that I will never manually do an update like that again. The hassle of fixing my iPhone (restore as a new iPhone) was just too big!

ummmm you do know 3.1 has issues right? not related to the tether "hack"
 
anyone having issues with receiving larger pictures? My brothers phone cam is 3.2 megapixels and they dont make it through but when he changes to a smaller file they come right through.....I hope AT&T isn't capping these

LOL.
Remote into Home PC with AOL dialup from IPhone using Jaadu . Use VPN from there to access work PC and read email in outlook.

Would take 5 minutes for the button clicks to register.
 
iTunes unknown error

Help!

Mac OS X Sn0w Leopard-entered the command into terminal.

I can SEE the carrier update file and click it.

But it won't install. Unknown iTunes error.

3GS-JB/Unlocked.

Thanks!
 
I'm glad all you loyal AT&T subscribers have finally got MMS options....as for the me and the jailbreak community, we welcome you to bliss.
 
if i tried to get tethering to work before and had the carrier file for it on my phone, is there any way to get rid of the tethering option? it didn't go away when i updated just now and i tried to restore from backup a while back and that didn't work either.

As someone on 3.0 with the benm.at tethering enabled I can say that .. rightclicking this link posted above and selecting "download linked file" .. then subsequently option-clicking in iTunes (9.xx) and selecting the downloaded .ipcc file will result in the carrier settings be upgraded and any jailbreaks/hacks not being affected.. then everyone enjoys a great friday, no?!?

My 3Gs isnt jailbroken, but I wasn't willing to go to 3.1 and lose my tethering just for some MMS. but now i can have my cake and eat it too. kinda.

I can say that after downloading the .ipcc. installing it. rebooting. i have MMS and benm.at still works.

thanks guy/gal who posted this carrier file

When I option-click update, and browse to the ipcc, it is just greyed out and wont let me select it. On mac osx.

Anyone know how to install this ipcc?

So the iphone just got a feature that other phones have had for years?....wow...

Wow, only the 300th person to make the same crack. How original. I think SJ was hoping email would suffice, but the problem is a lot of older, non-smart phones can only send and receive pictures by MMS, so MMS is required for now. As more phones become real web-enabled, it will be less necessary.
 
Just installed on a jailbroken 3.0.1 using the IPCC posted, and MMS isn't working for me. I'm in the Lawrence, MA area.

I have the original iphone and once again cannot use the features of those who wait. This sucks:mad:

Well, what were you waiting for ? There have been 2 more releases of iPhones since you bought yours, and you could have upgraded twice for no cost (selling both the 2G and 3G to cover the cost of the new phones.
You are not being punished because your monthly plan (basic 2G ) is a lot cheaper than the 3G and 3GS plan. If you are that upset about not being able to send MMS you should just upgrade.
