AT&T Customer Reports of iPhone MMS Activation Surfacing

Rojo said:
After waiting over two years... I think I can wait under two weeks more. Especially for something I'll hardly use.
I don't know why people mess with their iPhones...

Ummm, yeah. I agree 100%. I'm waiting.
 
If you still get a red exclamation mark after following AK's blog post, do the following:

1. Go to Settings -> General -> Network -> Cellular Data Network

2. Enter these settings under the MMS category:

APN: wap.cingular
Username: wap@cingulargprs.com
Password which is case sensitive: CINGULAR1
MMSC: mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: 66.209.11.32
(keep MMS Max msg size and MMS UA Prof URL how they are)

3. Now reboot your iPhone again.
 
For some reason I am also not seeing the little camera attach icon from within the Message app which comes with the iphone software. Using OS 3.1 and carrier file 5.0. How do I get the camera icon thingy>>?

Sometimes you can't help it when people with other phones send you a MMS. It is nice to be able to view it.

Yeah, it would be nice if AT&T just had a direct link to viewmymessage without the dumb user names and password.

It's not the fact that E-mail is bad and we want MMS, it's that others who aren't fortunate enough to have E-mail capable phones, and the inconvenience of AT&T's system,

This isn't a for-sure solution. at&t has to remove the opt-out on your account. I've done this and I don't have access yet.

I know that, its another way to check though.

I followed AK's blog post and still got the red mark. I then changed those settings and it worked perfect. It's just another thing you can try

If you go online to your AT&T account, there is an option to do this when you modify features.
 
Great news. I guess the 25th was when they would have everyone done.

AT&T made me want a feature that I had YEARS ago.

Thanks AT&T
 
Working in Phoenix, AZ after countless hours of non-working. 3.0.1 and Carrier Update 5.1

I would like to recomend the following steps to those who have not yet tried.

Steps I took:
Updated carrier settings with 5.1 and reboot (using tutorial in this thread)
Take sim, put in other AT&T phone
Log into AT&T account via cingular.com
Change phone from iphone to other AT&T phone
Change text message plan from "iPhone Text Messaging Unlimited" to "Messaging Unlimited"
Sent test message
Put sim Back in iphone
Camera icon present and sent test message to self...now works flawless.

PS. MMS worked when wifi turned off, however, after entering in all the wap settings works now with wifi turned on.

Here is a picture of receiving an MMS.
 
Instructions didn't work for me, nor did inputting the information posted on that site. Oh well.
 
*EDIT*

Upon further inspection, I am stoopid. I answered my own question! Can't wait to get home and give this a shot!

Thankx!

Ok, I give up. I can find the files and do all that good stuff. However, I am having a heck of a time getting the ipcc files. I have the zip file, tried renaming it, but nothing. What am I missing? I have a strong feeling it's something so simple, I'm making it way harder. And yes, i've looked at all the tutorials, but still am scratching my head...

Alos, what is the best ipcc to use? I have 5.0 and 5.1.

Thankx!

Um, no, there's not.

If you are on a family plan with the unlimited messaging plan, it will automatically do it. But I'm not sure about individual plans.

*EDIT* Also, it pops up on the edit rate plan area. And if you go to your local AT&T store, you may be able to get someone cool enough to remove the opt out. The customer service people on the phone will not do it, but certain people in store are nicer.

I'll check there but I highly doubt it exists for me.

Edit: Nope, nothing.
