Well I just followed the instructions on the front page (Krillr) and it seems to work fine! I'm on an iPhone 3G running 3.1. I am on a family plan with unlimited texting if that makes a difference. I didn't have to go into General Settings and change anything. It just worked, I'm in central New Jersey.

The downloaded carrier setting file says 5.1 on the iPhone (funny how when I did a "Show Package Contents" and viewed the IPCC plist it said version 5.0).

I sent a photo to my girlfriend on Verizon and she received it just fine. She replied with a photo and I saw it fine also. I sent it to my brother who didn't have MMS turned on and he didn't receive anything. Sending the MMS just took a few seconds longer then a regular SMS message, but it seems to work.

Yay! :) :D

Yes, the family texting plan makes a huge difference. It doesn't have the opt-out code enabled like the iPhone texting plan did and still does.
 
MMS Now!

I have had working MMS since early last week and I am still on 3.0.1. I followed THIS guide to get it to work and it did. You should give it a try and comment how it works. The file needed and the guide are on that page.

That guide is kind of the same, but used for Jailbroken iPhones.
 
and yeah having it done by billing period would make sense to me too because mine started working friday night, which was the 11th, that is the end of my billing period

my billing period ended on the 8th and I am still without MMS...even after following the guide listed in this forum verbatim. I'm in CO...
 
Is it just me, or does no one really use MMS to begin with?

It's either text messages or email.

All this hoopla over missing MMS is a tempest in a teapot. People seem to want it not because they're actually going to use it, but because they can then claim their device is feature complete, or finally has a feature that other devices have had for years, etc. In other words, the motivations of the complainers seems fishy.


I bet when MMS finally does come out there will more people using it than you think. When you get an e-mail with a picture does the picture just show up on the screen like a MMS. Nope you have to go into your mail app select your e-mail account your using and then on the message and then have to download the picture from your e-mail server.

Everybody thinks email is the way to go when sending pictures, if your sending a bunch at once then yes but if you want yo send 1 quick picture then MMS is the way to go

Southern CA is a go

Works for me here in SoCal. Sweet. And I've used it more in the past two days than I used it on any other phone with MMS capabilities in the past.

The photo quality seems pretty nice; perhaps sending these "email-sized" pictures was part of the reason MMS was delayed with the iPhone. It's the only phone, smart or not, that I've ever used or been around that sends pictures the way it does. I've had friends on other carriers/devices comment on the size and clarity of the pictures I've taken and sent with my iPhone.

I still have lots of friends and family who don't have smart phones, and they've been sending MMS to me, but recently [almost past year or so] I've not received anything, not even that silly link and code bs. It's nice to finally be in touch with the rest of the non smart phone world. LOL. :D

Here is a picture of receiving an MMS.

I just want to know when I can get some purple dank! :D I'm running low :mad:
 
Are you kidding? Not all phones have email. My colleagues and friends have verizon, and sending pics via email takes away from that on so many levels. Convenience. Figuring out friends pix email address. Etc.
 
MMS works for me on a stock 3.1 3GS in Florida. Nice. Although now I have MMS, but no more tethering hack :(. (For now:D) I'd probably use MMS more, so I made the choice to update to 3.1 and see if it worked. Sho' nuff does.
 
That guide is kind of the same, but used for Jailbroken iPhones.

The guide doesnt have to be used on a Jailbroken iPhone. It says it does but it worked on my brothers phone that was not jailbroken. The only think is that you probably have to be on a family text plan or a non iPhone texting plan
 
Process worked for me - now I wonder what will happen on the 25th when AT&T enables it?
 
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.

Yes this worked!!! I can finally send MMS now haha I just sent like 3
 
Charges?!?!

For those of you with who have gotten this working, have any of you followed your bill to see if there are any charges? I'm curious what AT&T will do when they discover this? What happens when they try to activate your profile only to find out you already did it yourself?

MMS is FREE with a messaging plan...according to AT&T...I got unlimited message plan anyways lol
