I did warn you!
Edit: I put the article in quotes, so a few seconds of life are saved.
No matter how you spin it.... no matter how much of a fanboi you're...
after more than 2 years, we still don't have MMS on this "revolutionary" phone.... and that's just PATHETIC...
Let me say it again... PATHETIC! I have no excuses or reasoning for this anymore....I can't sit here and blindly defend Apple or ATT... not anymore
revolutionary my a$$, there I said it.

You can't blame Apple. MMS works really well on the iPhone, just not in the USA.
NO!!! I blame APPLE .... I blame STEVE JOBZ .... He said "oh it's old tech, we use email now " ..... If he wanted, he would have pushed harder, and force ATT... He didn't care about MMS, so we didn't get it...
The only reason we're getting it (or will get it one day) is because of customer demands... JOBZ is still against it...
Just because 'the dude himself' doesn't use it, thinks nobody else does either...
lol? wut?
My iPhone MMSes it up no problem. Guess "jobz" (are you for real?) "pushed" my carrier in just the right way
I just had opportunity to call ATT customer service, about a mundane account question. The young lady I spoke with was ***very*** nice, extremely professional, and quite pleasant to talk to. Handled my problem without hesitation. All in all, a fantastic CSR experience.
After the actual purpose of my call had been completed, I half-joshingly asked if she could remove the MMS block on my iPhone. She hesitated for more than a second -- I got the distinct impression I had just committed an act akin to breaking wind during a prayer meeting. She then said, No, that can't be done right now, but it's Almost Here, and should arrive Next Month sometime. That's fine, I said, thanked her again, and hung up.
Do you realize what this means?
MMS will be here when it gets here, and September is still "late summer". All the hacks, all the mind-numbing speculation, all the rumors, all of it -- sums up to a cup of warm spit. Waste of time.
Matter of fact, this little anecdote is worthless as well. It's all speculation and blather.
MMS will get here when it gets here, and not before. If you feel you cannot live without it, or at least yammering on about it at every opportunity... then please:
(I've been waiting for an opportunity to use this image. This will suffice...)

I've been waiting for someone to post that pic. Thanks, I'll add it to my collection for future use.
I think he just needed to rant. He's all better now. At least he didn't make a new thread for that.

Pathetic ... Just pathetic ... did I say PATHETIC ?
I wouldn't bet on "late summer" .... it could easily turn into "late-never"

That's exactly why we didn't get MMS on iphone in 07... See I was one of the first to get an iphone.... and since I have been here all this time dealing with this crap...its getting a bit annoying...
You must be a new switcher, I'll see you in about 2 years there kiddo...
^^^^^^
sorry, the rant continues.
What girl?
But HOW pathetic?

so are you saying that all the world wide carriers opted not to include MMS in their service for the iphone?
Seems odd to me that every carrier would opt not to include MMS in the iphone plan.
I've had it officially working on my iPhone since the first day of the 3.0 upgrade back in June (O2, UK).
MMS is not new in Europe, we've had it for years on nearly all mobile phones and it is part of the normal monthly allowance.
"What's that, Apple? We'll be able to charge people the same amount as for a plan with picture and video messaging over our data networks without actually letting them do this? Sure, we'll take it!"
Yes, I believe that EVERY carrier would opt not to include MMS in the iPhone plan.
Hi Mike What cell service you with I want to send you something

Hey dd you get that picture? Really, damn it was funny. Wonder why you didn't get it? Oh you're not longer with Sprint?
Yeah I want to add another 120 email address.
And beleive it or not some people get charged for such a message.
Sorry (add name) I didn't realize you get charged 50 cents for every email.
Oh you didn't get it, are you a new ATT customer or an Old Cingular customer? Is that number an old cingular number? Are you sure?
I know my friends carry this information around with them all the time.
My wife laughs at the iphone commercials, Hey MMS is there an app for that!!!!! Oh look hon I got a picture message, do you have the app for that?
FWIW, I have the 3.1 beta on my old 3G and although it had the little camera next to the text input field of the SMS app, I tried it several times and it wouldn't send. Until today. I haven't even turned the 3G on in several days and today I did to test an app and figured I'd try an MMS message just to give AT&T heartburn so I took a pic and sent it to my 3GS. Lo and behold, it sent without the red "!" next to the picture. Several seconds later the viewmymessage text appeared on the 3GS.
Go figure.
So now perhaps it is in place and just awaiting the 3.1 release.

+100000 This is exactly what I think every damn time someone throws up that stupid listing of cell addresses and how we can JUST email them. Jeeeez! And I really can wait for MMS, but don't tell me we can just do this. We should be able to do what everyone in the friggin' planet can do (and we have the God phone). It's ridiculous.
Oh, and you deserve a POTD.
MMS on my iphone has been working since June... I made a thread back then and everyone said I was lying.

No idea why it only works for me and no one else.
