So i called att And they really did try to help... the guy tried to provision my account for mms. I am on the normal text plan (not iphone) and have my sim in a palm centro. The guy said it was conflicting with my iphone data plan and that he couldnt get it provisioned. I know other people have had success so what exactly do I say?
Got a tip for us?

Yeah, but if you use that person's .ipcc file, he already configured it. You can test visual voice mail to see if it works by calling yourself and leave a message or have someone call you and leave a voice mail.
Which settings did you use? I'm on a family plan, but I simply cannot get the thing going. Which ipcc file? whose instructions?
The moment I removed MMS, VM & tethering came back. I give up! Since MMS will be free in a few months, I'll just wait. Tethering is not free so I am happy to have that, until the jailbreak come out.
I just hope AT&T MMS won't kill my tethering.

Guys this is the ipcc you want to use, it has everything enabled. Some ipcc's only have MMS and VVM but no tethering. This one has all.

Still not working for me. Should I leave the settings AS IS, or enter in username/password/blah blah from first post?
Download it using Firefox
The file should end with ".ipcc" when you download it.
Safari automatically converts it to something else.
I used this method posted on the front page of macrumors and it worked like a charm. I have a family plan and used my son's w580i smart card chip. Didn't have to do steps 7-11

Quick update: MMS & Tethering working
My steps:
1. Updated my carrier file to AT&T 5.0
2. Rebooted my phone (allowed me to get MMS options in 3.0 firmware)
3. Followed steps 5&6 from here
4. Followed these steps
5. Be advised that once I switched my SIM to the other AT&T phone it took ~10 min for the website to update and give me new messaging options for my plan besides the iPhone one.
6. After switching my messaging plan to the non-iPhone plan I waited another 10 min for the changes to kick in.
7. MMS
hope this helps people out there!

been waiting for like 15 mins.... waiting to select a new plan
Wow tethering is a lifesaver. My DSL connection is down right now so I'm using my iPhone's 5 full bars of 3G power at the moment
Since the steps always seem to require a non-Apple AT&T phone, will an AT&T GoPhone work?

Mine worked great last night after doing these steps...but now, I'm back to the red exclamations when I send (haven't tried receiving). This happen to anyone else?

Did you make a call or send a txt msg using the other AT&T phone (non-iPhone)? I actually forced the new phone on the myWireless website by clicking the "Not my phone/device?" link.
The important key IMO is getting the following to show up on your AT&T account under "Manage Features"
I don't see why a GoPhone would not work. Basically all you want to do is get the option (shown above) to show up under your account on the AT&T website.
Just to be clear, you DO NOT[b/] want to change your data or phone package. All you need to switch is your messaging package to a NON-iPhone one.
