AT&T is probably preparing for the onslaught of pointless MMS messages that will be sent when we all get super excited about it and send like 10 MMS messages to all our friends saying "OMG I FINALLY GOT IT CAN YOU SEE THE PICTURE! SEND ME A PIC TOO OMG!!!" The 11 million iPhones in the USA probably take up more bandwidth in terms of data (not phone calls) than all the other phones that AT&T has combined. So even if AT&T severely downgrades the quality of MMS pics, they're still going to be overloaded for the first week or so.

yep. ain't it great. i swear sometimes half the planet has nothin' to say, and pretty soon can prove it not only in text but with pictures as well.

I don't exclude myself from the category of people who occasionally clutter the airwaves and cyberspace with pointless remarks... but, thank god I have not given out my iPhone number to many people, and they are not the same people that constantly forward me hoax mails, joke mails, chain mails... I gave them a throwaway email address a long time ago and realized I should never cop to even owning a cell phone if they ask me for the number.
 
Ah, the irony... just last week some guy posted saying he doesn't understand how people in Canada can put up with Rogers.

I feel bad for you guys with AT&T, hopefully they get their act together.

Sadly, I did the same and am still bombarded with chain emails from my family. No matter how many times I say "Ma! Quit sending me forwards! I'm just gonna delete em!", I still get them with the standard "I know it's a forward but you just HAVE to see this!!!".

I have arguably one of the most advanced phones on the planet and I have to struggle to view a damn picture from the masses and their dumb phones.

The look on peoples faces after they ask if I got the picture they sent and I respond "the iPhone doesn't do picture messaging" is usually priceless.

lol, at least now you can say, AT&T doesn't do picture messaging on the iPhone... surely it will ease the sting a bit.

when i told my cuz he insisted it did and tried to prove it to mehis look was priceless when he couldnt do it
 
I can make this simple for you all.

If you HATE all of these MMS threads.....then stop reading them.
Oh no, you can't do that. You'd rather read them all and then whine about them. lol


Secondly, I never get any notification about any mms message. Not even a "viewmymessage.com" sms.

So you see, AT&T is even more F'd up that not only will then not give me MMS, they won't even notify me of when I do get one received. Thats why I say AT&T blows goats.
 
Hey just moved from Verizon bought a new 3GS 32GB White iPhone with AT&T, I would rather have a good service with a great phone with one less feature then go back to decent service with crappy phones with all the services that work here and there.

I will deal with No MMS as long as I have my iPhone 32B White phone with AT&T phone and txt msgs service that works.

Can't they just send you an email? Emails are free you know.

That does work fine with smart phones, I guess the problem is many people still have phones with a camera and MMS plan, but no data/email capability. In that case they can't just zip off an email of a pic they snapped on their phone to their friends with iPhones.

yeah right, I'd be embarrassed to send an mms to someone telling them that my iphone is just now supporting mms. they'd probably laugh at me and say "lol my moms brick cellphone from the 90s can send mms".

Ditto....never heard of viewmymessage until this thread. People tell me they've sent a message, but I get no indication on my phone.
