AT&T's iPhone Finally Getting MMS via iPhone OS 3.1?

2009-08-03T15:31:51Z

A little over a month ago, the next update to the iPhone firmware - OS 3.1 beta - was released to developers. With the updated firmware, there are a number of bug fixes and a few new features, including voice control over Bluetooth, copy and paste for phone numbers, vibration feedback when re-arranging screen icons, and more. However, the most notable change in the latest OS update is the re-inclusion of MMS. For unknown reasons, this feature was removed from the fifth beta and the public release of the OS, but now it's back and enabled by default. Although the functionality isn't working over the AT&T network yet, there are reports that the next iPhone update will indeed enable MMS. The only question is when?

]]> MMS Switched on in New Firmware

There are several reasons to believe why the upcoming iPhone OS 3.1 update will include MMS. Most importantly is the fact that the update firmware actually includes the functionality switched on by default. There are changes AT&T will have to make in order for it to work, of course, but now all that's left is for AT&T to "flip the switch," so to speak.

Although Apple hasn't officially confirmed a release date for the OS 3.1 update, it's expected to arrive sometime in September. That timing nicely coincides with AT&T's public statement that MMS will arrive "later this summer." (September is still summer, right?) An anonymous commenter on iPhone-watching blog FSM said that a rep told him the release date is September 6th and, at the latest, September 8th, but obviously, you can't put any weight behind those statements (you can only hope!).

When we spoke to an AT&T rep ourselves, we were told to wait until the "end of August or beginning of September" - which isn't really new information, unfortunately. However, the rep also said that Apple "has the update already" and that AT&T is "just waiting for Apple to release it." This statement could easily be construed to mean that when Apple releases the updated firmware that is OS 3.1, AT&T will be ready to turn on MMS functionality. Another reason why this seems plausible is because the rep said you'll be alerted to the update via a text message - the same procedure they've used in the past to alert you to new iPhone firmware releases.

All Signs Point to MMS in OS 3.1

Then there is the fact that multiple blogs are reporting news from anonymous AT&T tipsters saying that MMS will be enabled via the next iPhone OS update. In fact, according to iPhone Hacks, there have been a couple of instances where developers reported that they already had MMS working, although somewhat sporadically. Take that with a grain of salt, though.

Finally, there are reports that the latest OS 3.1 beta is disabling the hacks that made tethering and MMS possible via unsupported methods on AT&T iPhones. Some of the hacks even allowed you to enable these functions without going through the process of "jailbreaking" the phone - a special type of hack which enables you to install third-party applications hosted outside of the iTunes App Store. Of course, disabling hacks like this via an update seems par for the course for Apple, but considering all these rumors, it could be another item that points to the possibility of OS 3.1 delivering MMS to AT&T customers. After all, what better way to make sure AT&T customers have to start paying for its use with their text messaging bundle?

Of course, without official statements from either company, there's no way to be 100% certain that the iPhone OS 3.1 will be the vehicle delivering MMS, but considering all of the above factors, it does seem likely.

That's bullocks. I'd I'm not on AT&T, but after reading this, there is no way I'd ever sign on with them. Hope everyone reads this and takes note!

Many people are saying that the update runs fine, but they don't get the MMS button right after they update. To enable it, you'll have to reboot

Oh man, I've been trying to tell people this for a long time but all I got is stupid comments like stop spamming and trying to sell your $h!t. Guys, I already knew this would happen because AT&T has always screwed there customers over, I mean you might as well walk in to the AT&T store bent over and with your pants at your ankles. I have an HTC Touch Diamond with Windows mobile 6 that makes my i Phone look like dog meat. Don't get me wrong the i Phone is pretty but its so dam expensive and limited that its not even a joke. But if you must have MMS and tethering stop B.S ing your self and get these apps from the guys over at MMS.ifind2.com.

I'm dying for iphone to be made available for verizon, if it does, ATT is going down the drain.

only thing is, I got a "tip" from a mac genius at the apple store that told me he didn't think they'd allow you to use your same ATT iphone 3gs on another network, you'd probably end up having to buy a brand new phone specifically for that network

3g/gs only ???? is BS. i have both edge and 3gs and am pissed that only one is supported. was the delay to exclude first gen iPhone customers in the hopes we'd buy/upgrade??? loks like it's time to unlock and move on.

yeah i have an iphone and i love it....it does suck w/o MMS but i knew that going in to it....and was told that it would be added eventually....but i KNEW it was not going to be avaiable when i got the phone.....so stop bitchin and complaining....u knew when u get the phone it didn't have mms....if it was so important to you at the time, then why did you get it???

that's a you problem....

and as far as att overpricing shit....yeah its expensive but the prices with verizon are NO different...cause i don't like att....but i'm not switching to another carrier for the exact same price....

The iPhone has been out for how long now? And they're just now getting the tweaks out of their MMS? Maybe Apple hasn't come as far as they'd like to think.

Dont any of you have business sense. There are specific reasons things happen. Besides no company is perfect and who cares that you can't get MMS look at all the other things you can do. And guess what people Verizon, who I have charges the exact same price as AT&T does. Get over it. My wife has the iPhone, it is nice I like playing with when my contract is up I will get one. It is not that much to deal with no MMS.

Sure, complain all you want. They all stink after a while. I wish the iPhone had MMS too but it'll come. If MMS is that important to you why do you have an iPhone? I've got a new Bberry Storm unlocked for Verizon I'll sell you. It does MMS.

yeah MMS was very much lacking in the iPhone. Its better late than never on apple's part to introduce the already popular feature in their revolutionary touchscreen device. iPhone was once compared to a brick. But I would rather compare it with my cigar Habanos. This cuban cigar is certainly better than the iPhone and the brick.

I was a little skeptical to try Tethering, but you are right Jim. It worked. Thanks. I did purchase the MMS SEND and I managed to send a picture to my co-workers here at work. Fabulous. The B Positive link is clever. I love it, it's a free app. Joel Osteen came up on it. I love the guy! The above link does work in case anyone wants to try.

Yep, I Tethering for free from my iphone. And the link is the one I got from here. I'll just copy and paste it here before they remove it. It WORKS WORKS WORKS!!! http://MMS.ifind2.com
and so does the MMS. I got two free apps from there also. Thanks for the link dude!

Ha ha ha :) You guys make me laugh, honestly the reality is that some people have actually already been able to use MMS on the i Phone with the Sept. 25th deadline coming up but get this, they are only activating one number at a time! Can you believe that; are they retarded? there are like 5 million freakin i Phone users in the world! And the kicker is that AT&T has admitted that there will be bugs and glitches since there network wasn’t built to handle MMS. I tell you what, I downloaded Send MMS and View MMS from ifind2.com months ago and my life has been much easier. I even downloaded tethering recently so now I can use my phone as a modem as well. Do your self a favor and at least try it out. http://MMS.ifind2.com

Andy is absolutely correct; I downloaded MMS from ifind2.com last night and it totally rocks! Good thing I found this app because I was like going to like drop my i Phone and get a HTC Touch Pro with Windows and give the finger to Apple.

Bobby, dude give MMS from ifind2 a chance; I downloaded it a while back ago and loved it so much that I shared it with everyone by blogging and posting the heck out of it. It sends to everybody, not just AT&T.

The mms is definitely coming. I updated my carrier settings on 3.0 to enable mms it was enabled but would always error out.As of yesterday I can now send them and receive them but only to other ATT users.

Att is one of the worst companies in the US, a real shame. They used to have monopoly on long distance in the 80's and treated people like real crap, that vision has not changed they just try a little harder now cause they have to.

Oh ifind2 now offers tethering so you can use your i Phone as a modem to surf the net for free!!!!! you don't have to wait for AT&T, who knows when they will figure out how to enable it they can't even get MMS worked out.

I don't get you guys; your answer is simple, MMS.ifind2.com download the latest version of Send MMS. I've had it for a few months now and I can send and receive Pictures with no problem. AT&T and Apple are retarded, don't waste your time waiting on them.

i wouldnt say its AT&Ts fault. AT&T had MMS before the iPhone was even released. I say its Apple always trying to hold off on things to hype it up. I got an iPhone and im ready to drop it. Apple FTL.

Just got off the phone with Att cust service and asked bout the MMS and the ignorant piece of shit on the other line would only say I dunno sir I dunno sir, you'll get a phone call sir.... I asked about getting some kind of compensation for lack of service she said absolutley not, but I fired back and said that so if i feel like Att isnt treating me right i can leave the company but still pay a termination fee? she said yes, i said try it, im done going back to verizon as of this afternoon....

Don't be fooled this is actually the only MMS app that actually sends MMS message from your i Phone, for free! to any other phone! No other app out there can do what this app does. AT&t nor Apple can offer you this. no B.S.! check out the video on Metacafe. http://www.metacafe.com/watch/3224992/send_mms/

2009-09-02T04:25:48Z

AT&T was Cingular if you might remember the worst service in the US. But then they merved and became AT&T and the were "RAISING THE BAR". I guess the bar they were talking about was not MMS or even more important SERVICE & RECEPTION! I remember reading back in June all the hype about the iPhone upgrade MMS to be included. WHAT A BUNCH OF CRAP. Then we give you the 3GS that has a compass. Whooooo. I think the days are numbered fr AT&T and iPhone if they keep playing games with us. Do you know how much money thay have made off us suckers over the last 2-3 years?

So it's September 1st... still no sign of MMS? I have the iPhone on ATT and I've been waiting forever. The stupid apps in the app store for mms are crap, I just want the real deal. So it's September, Apple and ATT! Let's come out with that update....

There's a way to send pictures to non iPhone users.. Figure out what service provider they have and send it as an email. They will receive it on their mobile handset. xxxxxxxxxx@tmomail.net for tmobile. xxxxxxxxxx@vzwpix.com for verizon. xxxxxxxxxx@att.mms.net for AT&T. So frustrating.. I switched to AT&T from verizon for this???

I have had MMS working on both my iPhone and my wifes since 3.0 beta. Not hard to do at all, and once it was done AT&T did nothing to stop my MMS, unlike what other blogs have said.

Comment from AT&T on 2009-08-27

2009-08-27T21:01:00Z

I work for AT&T and there is no set reason why MMS took so long. Many rumors have circulated from "we are waiting for Apple" to legal issues that people think are affecting it for whatever reason. The drop date is supposed to be September 8th for the new software update and YES, summer is technically during that time. Any reps who give you a definite drop date for the software or tell you anything at all is lying because they haven't given us any info in regards to MMS. They've told us the same thing as you've heard "we are still waiting".

I've tried may MMS apps including swirly but they are all so difficult to use and don't help much but I've been hearing a lot about this ifind2MMS, has anybody tried it yet? I've been to the web page for it and it comes in two apps a viewer and a sender which looks like it sends for free I'm not sure; if anyone here has tried it please let me know. Thanks.

As the UK commented pointed out, we've had MMS in Australia since the 3.0 days, works fine. it must be a carrier file setting, as I am using a build from the US obtained at WWDC.

2009-08-25T23:01:54Z

Oh, I forgot to say that they also have an app that allows you to send MMS picture text messages for free once we signed up. This is the only one we found that actually WORKS with AT&T. It sends to all cell phones, but I was especially happy that it sends to AT&T iphones also.

MMS VIEW for the iPhone
A Good friend of mine showed me an app for the iphone that can finally open the AT&T provided hyperlinks with the ID and Password they send which I could never read or copy. This MMS VIEW app opens them quickly and effortlessly without having to type anything.
It can be found at http://MMS.ifind2.com
I absolutely love it.

Thanks guys, I went ahead and purchased the http://MMS.ifind2.com MMS VIEW and also the MMS SEND.

Yes, it does work. I was upset myself that my beautiful iphone could not view or send MMS messages.

This is THE DEAL! I also found out that they are already working on Flash... can't wait.

2009-08-24T22:56:12Z

OK, I purchased 7 different apps now and NONE of them could show me MMS messages and NONE of them sent. So after trying them all I figured what the heck I'll try one more since someone listed it as a working one. Ladies and Gentlemen THE ONE THAT WORKS!!! I can now open the AT&T MMS messages. http://MMS.ifind2.com

I bought the MMS VIEW and since it worked beautifully, I now have the one that allows me to SEND mms also. It's free after the initial fee. I'm very VERY impressed.

Sam is right; I just downloaded it my self and not olny does it work with AT&T but it works with all carriers, my homeboy has a Cricket phone and we can send and receive pics, this is cool man! About time someone came up with something that works since AT&T can't seem to do it, Apple should hire the guy who came up with this. I believe the link is http://MMS.ifind2 or something, Google it.

2009-08-24T21:13:41Z

Now with version 3.2 MMS Sender you don't just receive or view MMS messages like other cheesy MMS apps, get the new MMS Sender along with the viewer and send and receive! No other MMS app for the i phone can do that.

It's not really worth it since I tend to use email for most things, but at least I know that the feature will work when AT&T decides to enable it "officially". So it's really not hard coded into the software - it's just a few settings that were not enabled in the configuration of AT&T iPhones.

AT&T sucks big time! They are always delaying everything for no particular reason. They don't care about the consumer, just how much money they can take from them.

Here's my best guess.

AT&T will release MMS to the public just BEFORE iPhones become available from Verizon. That way they can lock new people down for 2 years. As existing account holders, you're already locked down. And for those nearing the 2 years, your decision of going or stay has already been made, so there's no steering you.

Yes, MMS will be released with Iphone Firmware 3.1

The true problem before was that MMS on 3.0 was that people would get random pictures. It was screwing up.

So its fixed now and just wait for the new firmware. (first week of sept)

If you ask me personally, AT&T is a joke, they rob there best customers blind especially hear in the states. But if you want real working MMS; visit the guys over at http://MMS.ifind2.com. To me they are the most advanced and easiest to use. There have even been rumors that they are working on you being able to receive MMS as well. check them out.

I agree!!! AT&T needs to get their things straighten out with Apple and release MMS...The iphone is such a highly developed phone and can do so many neat features. But how come they can't figure out MMS?

if you are part of the iphone Developer program you can download 3.1 with mms enabled with the new carrier file built in but you will need to switch your sim into any other att phone and send a few mms text you will have to do this a few times to update your att account then put your sim back in your iphone and now you can send mms make sure when you log into your account the iphone doesnt show and i swear this works

I love my iPhone, but as much as I do, I will drop it like a hot rock if MMS isn't up on the next release. I'm sick of waiting for this simple feature to be available on one of their most advanced phones. If they decide to charge iPhone users for MMS, when I already pay for unlimited texting and internet. I'll drop at&t and go to Verizon. I already pay them too much and I'm not going to pay for a service I get free elsewhere.

Finally a Real solution to AT&T's no MMS multi media messages for the iPhone $1.99

You simply bring up the link on your iphone, attach it to your home screen as an icon and place it next to your TEXT icon.

http://www.ifind2.com/text/1 This l ink is free for now.

It will be $1.99 one time fee to get it shortly.

I did it. The whole world is asking for this and I spent about 60-70 hours programming, but I made it work. (I did not even go to church and was up three nights and worked all day).

1.
The problem: AT&T blocks all MMS (multi-media pictures and video) text messages.

THE PROBLEM:
2.
If you actually get fedup and call AT&T now they enable the system, so even though you won't get your MMS messages, at least you get a reminder text message from them that "You have an MMS text message" and they give you their own AT&T link with an ID and Password that the customers have to remember once they went to their link. But both the ID and the Password are miserably long and impossible to remember and people even when they write it down somewhere they can't figure it out.

They send codes like: ID: IJK09546891l
Password: Iuw479I0
Imagine. the first one is an L the one before the zero is an i and so on... it's impossible to get it and the whole world is outraged and complaining about it.

3.
SOME CURRENT SOLUTIONS THAT ARE TERRIBLE that coest $2.99 (I bought them).
I purchased some software packages for the iPhone through the iphone apps store that claim that help you retrieve your MMS messages that people send to you. Well, the best one, (which is still miserably bad) simply allows you to take a snap shot IMAGE of your ID and password, enlarge it, but still requires you to manually type it in. Well, that was NO HELP, since I still could not tell if it was an i or a 1 or an L most of the times. I1l (yep those are three different characters) or 0O which one is the zero and which one is the letter o? anyway. I had to come up with a solution and I'll charge a dollar less than everyone else. It will be implemented by tonight.

THE REAL SOLUTION:
4. When you do get the message from AT&T that you do have a text message and they give you the http: link and the ID and Password for the iphone and some other phones, you simply: COPY, PASTE it inside the http://www.ifind2.com/text/1 MMS field, click process and click GET MY MMS.

It will automatically figure out which server you are getting the message from and retrieve the MMS message instantly, no more remembering any codes, etc.

Love to all,
Andy

I was waiting to get the Iphone until MMS came "online". Yesterday my HTC tilt found the bottom of my stairs before I did.... Broken. So I bought the phone, I was shown a letter from the sales rep that ATT sales was given stating the MMS would be up no more than 2 weeks from Aug 7.... I laughed and said "what year"..... My guess based on the "hints" around is we will have it by the end of the first week in September.

I was warned by the staff they think "network slowdown" will be extream for the first 2 weeks of service.

Don't know what the big deal is? While you wait... You can send & receive pix with iPhone using email and send to any cell phone I.e. XXXxxxXxxx@vrzwpix.com replace the "x"'s with area code and phone number. I've been doing this for two years.

As an Iphone owner, I can't believe my awesome phone that is heads above the competition phone can't do one simple thing that a cheap "pay as you go" phones can do.
I want to be able to accept/send a picture via text to/from friends? COME ON AT&T. YOU ALREADY OVERCHARGE US FOR OUR PLANS.

I love how AT&T once again tries to make it seem like they have been ready for this, "However, the rep also said that Apple "has the update already" and that AT&T is "just waiting for Apple to release it." Apple was ready with MMS back in June. AT&T must have paid big time dollars for Apple to put up with them trying to make it seem like Apple is at fault for everything. (Goggle Voice being another example) At this point, I really can not believe anything until it actually works from AT&T. And as soon as another carrier gets the iphone, or T-Mobile ups their network, Im gone from AT&T.

The update isn't technically needed to enable MMS on the iPhone. MMS on a US iPhone (with AT&T, OS 3.0) can be enabled by download the correct carrier profile that contains the carrier's MMS settings.
After doing this, you will be able to attempt to send an MMS on the iPhone - the buttons are there at least. There is a second step though - you need to have a non-iPhone text messaging plan on your account. This is the default with family plans, it seems, but requires you to change your account features for a normal plan. This needs to be done with your iPhone's SIM card in a non-iPhone. I've been able to do this easily with my family plan by putting the SIM in a Nokia phone, sending an MMS or two, then putting it back in my iPhone. For about a day, I can send MMS with my iPhone. But AT&T has some sort of automated process that looks for this, and to get MMS working on the iPhone again, I have to do the temporary SIM swap.
It's not really worth it since I tend to use email for most things, but at least I know that the feature will work when AT&T decides to enable it "officially". So it's really not hard coded into the software - it's just a few settings that were not enabled in the configuration of AT&T iPhones. Even though I stopped the SIM swap because it was not really worth it for MMS, it will be a nice thing to have on occassion since my mother loves to snap photos on her regular flip phone and she'll be able to send me pictures from vacations, etc. Now I have to keep telling her "no, I didn't get that - AT&T doesn't let me get those pics on the iPhone yet"

Yes you need the update. Right now the MMS 'button' in the Messages application is hidden under software coding. An update that does not include that coding, thus revealing the button will be needed.

3.1 to enable MMS? In the UK, we've had MMS since 3.0 came out (on O2), so do you really need a firmware update?
