[frunkis54]

wow i put 5.1 on my iphone 2 days ago and didn't work. i am on individual text plan. so i though i would just have to wait. the last 2 days i text myself a pic to see if it would work a few times a day. just now it worked. sweet

so anyone that was getting the red! maybe keep trying to txt your pics

ok i think i spoke to soon. i can send the mms to myself and receive it. when i send it to someone else they say they don't get it. i asked them to send a pic and i haven't received it yet.

Right click this: http://adam.midlane.net/iPhone/ATT_US.ipcc then choose SAVE AS then type the name of the file: ATT_US.ipcc

That should help you

I tried that and followed the instructions as provided but once I am within iTunes and shift+click the "Update" tap it shows nothing to "Ok." Only "Open," which once done shows no .ipcc files. Oh well, I can wait til the 25th, just hadn't messed with my phone in the year I have had it and figured I would try it for the heck of it.

Is this still only working for people on unlimted family plans?

To me MMS never was something id really miss, e-mail solves that anyway but i guess it cud be handy in some moments, what i really want to know about is tethering, now thats functional.

Finally MMS!!! San Antonio, TX reporting in!

It's the same 5.0 carrier file that is part of the 3.1 upgrade. We've just modified it telling it to enable MMS messaging and gave it all the MMS settings it needs. I said 5.2 for convenience purposes because we just changed the version number on the file so that people can tell the different between the IPCC's they have on their phone. That way when people say its not working, its very easy for people like me to determine the problem more quickly.

I have finally have MMS!!!

I used the most recent tutorial provided by Adam. Initially It did not work, All of my settings were correct. I began trying about 4-5 days ago, and today it's working!

Some notes:
(1) I am on an individual plan (w/ unlimited text and data)
(2) My account WAS OVERDUE at the time i began trying.
(3) My phone got turned off (acct suspended), i paid the bill, rebooted my iPhone and tried MMS for the hell of it, and it went through!

I have sent over 30 MMS messages with no problems. Maybe my account being overdue had something to do with it because after I followed the steps in the tutorial perfectly, i still had no MMS. I paid my bill at an AT&T retail store, asked the rep about an "opt-out" code possibly being on my account, and they knew nothing about it. Hope this helps!

Just rebooted my phone, MMS is working for me here in South Florida.
I'm on the FamilyTalk Nation plan with iPhone 1500 texts option.

Well I was late on my payment as well. So I paid this morning and thought I'd try to talk to a rep and get the Opt Out taken off my account. The guy was super nice and at first he said "Do you want me to add the opt-out?" and I told him no that I wanted to enable my MMS. He said he didn't know it was out yet, but he saw it on his screen. So he did whatever, told me something was being sent to my phone and to turn it off and back on and it should work. Of course, I was on a my iPhone so I couldn't try it with him on the line.


Tried it...fail

Suggestions? Other than "wait" preferably.....

Man...I have the same plan as you and live in Miami and I rebooted and got nothing yet. Stupid how we have the upgraded 7.2 Mbps network already (in Miami) but don't have MMS. AT&T fails on rolling out stuff fluidly.

Totally agree with you..... At least we have sunny weather...

I followed the instructions exactly and my carrier says 5.2 but I don't have the camera icon on the text app. Any ideas?

A reboot will help...
