| [iPhone] MMS on the 3GS
»www.macrumors.com/2009/06/08/ata···the-u-s/
So, after reading this report on MacRumors.com, I thought I could just call up at&t and ask them to manually enable MMS on my iPhone.
»www.apple.com/iphone/how-to/#mes···messages
Apple's website states that there should be an option to enable or disable MMS Messages under Settings, Messages, but it's not there.
So does this mean we will have to wait probably 3 months for a 3.1 firmware to be released with this feature enabled? |

Bayonne, NJ | it was stated before the iPhone 3Gs was released that ATT would not have MMS available until late summer. AFAIK, the 3.0 software allows it but ATT is not ready to allow iphone users to send and receive MMS. |

You can actually download a pre-release baseband update which allows MMS. I'd be wary of doing so in case they decide to disable phones using it at a certain date.

Those options are shown or hidden based on the carrier file that is on the phone. The MMS & tethering features are in the firmware, but are just hidden.
You can download the new ipcc file from the net and install it, which will make the options appear. You still have to get MMS enabled on the AT&T side.
It will also break your visual voicemail. |

Tulsa, OK | When I bought my 3gs this morning, i asked the sales guy about mms. he enabled mms on my account, but if it's going to disable visual voicemail, i'll just wait. |
