but shouldnt i at least be able to send them if they go through or not? im confused...how did apple in the screenshots send them and get those red exclamation marks?
1. The Messages application can have MMS enabled or disabled.
2. The carrier can have MMS enabled or disabled.
In the screenshot, obviously the Messages application had MMS enabled, but the carrier had MMS disabled. By default, 3.0 GM has MMS disabled and the carrier also has it disabled. When AT&T decides to turn on MMS, a carrier update will go out that will enable MMS in the Messages application. Right now, if you have the pre-release version of iTunes 8.2, you can modify your carrier bundle and apply it to your phone, thus enabling MMS in the Messages application, but it will be non-functional until AT&T or your carrier enables MMS.
to enable MMS AT&T will release a carrier update that physically allows you to place pictures and other files into messages. its sort of like 3.0 has this ability but the carrier update has to unlock it. think of it as quick time on a mac. to get some features you have to upgrade to pro. they are always there but pro enables them
Because you didn't read where he says you have to download the Carrier update file. If you download that file you can get it to work.
is there a way to get it? I have heard some people have MMS working. I always was under the impression that you could send MMS in 3.0 but they would just fail as ATT has a block on it right now (as the original photo on apple.com showed)
If you don't know the answer to that question, then you need to wait until AT&T turns it on for us.
