AT&T Announces iPhone MMS Launch Date: September 25

They need to finish 3G in my area on that day too. I'm tired of hearing "september" right now. I'm living in a bigger city next time.

I send emails and photos via email all the time with my 1st gen iPhone over the edge network without a problem. Sure it's slow, but it is works reliably.

So why, exactly, can't MMS happen over the EDGE network? Something tells me AT&T just wants me to upgrade to the latest model of the iPhone and get me to sign a more expensive contract.

This isn't news; we've known this since at least March. Apple decided not to support MMS on the 2G with OS 3.0, not AT&T.

Oh realy.. I did not know that... and AT&T did not tell me that... 3G is not even in my area cause they suck so much..... how about wifi... does it work on wifi? Cause if not.. It will be useless to me... completely... I am gonna raise some hell with AT&T and the end of the month... I can't wait for there contract with apple to end... then they will be force to treat iphone customers better or they will leave...

I don't quite understand why everyone is getting quite so upset about:

a) It being the end of Summer or not.

b) MMS being late

c) Wanting to use MMS so much?

d) Finding something to complain about - get a life. You already have an excellent phone, a provider that's pretty decent in all honesty (And as anyone who works with IT etc will know that nothing always goes to plan, things get delayed and take longer than planned)

If you want to send pictures so desperately use E-Mail!

Anyone else want to have a good moan?

Look mate, you are over in the UK, and mobile phone provides are a lot better there than US crap. You have MMS already, so for you to come and post on this thread is worse than people who are actually complaining about not having a service that most other iPhone service providers already have.

As for IT problems YES I agree they never go to plan, but that is no excuse.
 
Its active for those who have the 3.1 beta 3. I got a picture message randomly today lol, sending and receiving works
 
finally the iphone will almost be on par with features to every other smartphone on the market.
 
Long overdue. It should be great to finally be able to do something that I have been doing for years on much more crap phones. Thanks AT&T and apple.
 
Sorry to burst everyone's bubble, but I'll believe it when I see it. It will be delayed for some reason. AT&T will come up with some excuse for it to be even more late.

It's not supported on the 2G iPhone. However, it should still work on the 3G and 3Gs iPhones even they are on Edge.

Well, I guess you are lucky that you were able to do so many other things on the iPhone that you couldn't do on the crap phones to keep you busy until MMS showed.
 
I hate how when I use my iphone I feel like I need my mom's permission

"Please Apple and AT&T? May I send a picture message to my friend? It won't have any bad things in it! I promise!"

"May I download an app that is rated PG-13, please?"

ugh.. finally
 
i feel for you guys in the states having AT&T as the only official option and having to wait so long for something we take for granted in AU.

I email photos all the time and they look great. MMS is just low quality images. Why does everyone have their panties in a bunch over this ancient functionality that is out of date by 4 years?

I've had lots of cell phones over the years. My first was back in the 1990s (it is darn big).

I've never had a phone that could do MMS. None of mine did, and none of my parents' phones did.

Last month, I got a new phone for my wife. It was her first phone that did MMS. And now, my iPhone will be able to do MMS.

So not everyone feels MMS is old. It's all new to me and my wife. My parents' phones still can't do MMS. Maybe some day.

Sending MMS seems pretty convenient. Snap a picture, send it to a friend's phone. Done.
Email? Snap a picture, open my email, send, and then send a Text to a friend telling them to check their email? Are you kidding?

yeah I misunderstood that... haha.. i just talked to att they told me it will work on edge... with a 3G phone... sweet... :p
 
Eh.....let's have some fun with this. MMS will be available on the 25th? How about everyone send an MMS precisely at 9 AM on the 26th PST. Should be interesting to see the 3G network slow down to 28.8 modem speeds. :D

AT&T lies! They said by end of summer. Summer ends Sept 22. Apple really needs to end their exclusive agreement with these idiots!

That is why you get your friend to buy an iphone too.
Then you can just use the Messi.im app. You can send text, picture and location map for free to another iphone and it uses Push notifications too.
