Has anyone in the U.S. been given MMS after iphone 3.0?

How do you know you don't have the opt out? What txt plan are you on? Check your AT&T online acct and if it shows iPhone Text Message plan then you can send MMS unless you switch to a regular texting plan.

it says messaging unlimited for families, and above it iphone data plan, that right?

cant even log into my AT&T account right now!! I am trying to check my bill so I can pay it but it seems there is too much traffic on the site! I am really frustrated but I also understand y'alls excitement too.

Someone on another forum said they were told by an at&t rep that they were turning on MMS on Friday. I really will believe it when I see it, but that would coincide with the 3G S launch and the viewmymessages links apparently do not work in 3.0.

I said this.. i called and asked AT&T to enable MMS for my iPhone.. the guy told me to call back on Friday. Now I'll just wait and see!

I had a rep there told me AUGUST. I don't think the right hand knows what the left hand is doing at ATT.

I currently have MMS but it is through a hack(no jailbreak required)...

 

[iphone_aggie]

I assume you can't do this hack if you have the mms opt out?

Shutter is absolutely correct. I followed his instructions letter for letter in another thread and got my MMS working as well around 1 1/2 months ago. On my Account on the AT&T website, it still shows that I have the iPhone 3G, BUT I have a regular unlimited messaging plan and my account is provisioned for MMS. I was helped by an extremely friendly regular AT&T rep who followed up with calls later to ensure that everything was working smoothly for me.

Can someone tell me which thread shutters directions are in for enabling MMS?

I searched threads for his username but there are wayyyy too many to read through each and every thread

Thanks!

Correct. Actually to get it working I have to go into myaccount on att.com and change my phone to just a plane jane phone. About 5 minutes later it started to work. I left it like that over night. I changed our phone back to iPhones this morning, and as of right now it still works.

This is the way I got mine working:

I have Tethering and MMS on my iPhone -- and Yes, I'm on AT&T - Aaron Krill

 

[RIPNHL2005]

Awesome!

Thanks Frozen!!!

i cannot get mine to work, i have determined that it is a setting on ATT side, but everytime i call regardless of what i tell them they will not reactivate it...

 

[thisislew]

i updated my carrier file and got mms and tethering to work, on me and my wifes phones

 

[iphone_aggie]

I guess all of us who had the mms opt out added to our acct are screwed then, since getting them to change it are almost impossible

 

[snakes2003g]

they will remove the opt out eventually. they have to cause if i do not get my MMS i will just refuse to pay. cause i am tired of paying for something i should already have.

 

[shutter]

Just updated the carrier file on my 3G S and it works great, still got mms, and by putting in a max size for the file of 600, I was able to send 3G S stock phonts, where they failed before.

FYI, the original purpose of this post was to see if ANYONE had MMS from AT&T due to AT&T activating it...LOL! It's pretty obvious that the only ones that do have MMS in the U.S. are the ones that did the hack (and who somehow got a tech to remove the mms opt out).

 

[shutter]

Well, if that's the case...then no one will qualify. MMS options are hidden in the 3.0 software, the only way to uncover them is the hack or for apple to push a carrier file update through iTunes. My mms was activated by an at&t rep, although it hasn't been recently.

I know, but there were rumors that AT&T was going to do it today.

I already tried to get the mms opt out removed, but the reps just repeat the "late summer" BS. You got lucky. However, even so, I did see a bunch of people that tried the hack lose visual voice mail, so the hack didn't work perfectly for some.

 

[shutter]

My apologies, I Wasn't aware that was what you were looking for. As for the vv the custom carrier file I have allows me to put in the proper apn for visual voicemail. Mine didn't stop with the default apn, but it slowed considerably. I changed the apn from wap.cingular to acds.voicemail and they come through just fine and quick.

 

[iphone_aggie]

No need to apologize, I didn't specify in my original post. I actually didn't believe it would happen today or earlier, but thought maybe AT&T might be moved to do something soon after all the backlash over not having MMS. So, I was hoping when it does come out, that someone will respond here. AT&T said we would get a SMS message when it is available.

Soooo, you have to NOT have mms opt out to do your method/hack correct? Just want to make sure, since someone else said that you had to get AT&T to remove the opt out.
