MMS Now Working on iPhone 3.0


Recommended Posts

Just got a picture message and low and behold it showed up inside of the text and I am able to send them. I'm running iPhone OS 3 and haven't made any modifications.

...didn't think they'd be blocking picture/video messages.

Yes, AT&T sucks.

They didn't allow either of those features and they still aren't allowing tethering at this point.

As for MMS, it still isn't available. You may be able to receive MMS, but you can't send. I have the iPhone 3G(s) and there's no new options to allow sending MMS yet.

MMS is available for just about the majority of users with a text msging plan. some have had it active for months now.

make sure youre on at&t carrier version 5.0. that will make the camera icon/button available in msging app. most are still on 4.0

i got my wifes iphone MMS working last night. she has the 200text plan. i on other hand dont. so ill have to wait till the 25th.

HERE's the carrier update. you dont have to restore, or even sync. itunes simply updates your settings.

Yes, it is evn, AT&T disabled tethering and MMS because they needed to upgrade the network.

They had barely rolled out 3G when they made the deal with apple to have the iPhone exclusively and apple told them they had to improve coverage in order to keep the iPhone so they have spent something like 40 billion dollars upgrading and increasing 3G coverage and network bandwidth capacity.

During the WWDC 09 keynote when the guy starts talking about MMS and AT&T the entire crowd chuckled because they already knew AT&T had a bad rep as service provider in USA and this was just another point to show AT&T is a joke

Umm, no. AT&T just announced it on 3 Sept: http://www.macrumors.com/2009/09/03/atandt...e-september-25/

I can both send and receive

I would like to see a screenshot of your Messages app then. I want to compare it to mine and see what I'm missing.

ummm....just cause they didnt announce it before, doesnt mean it wasnt available. as i said, a lot of people have had mms for many months now.

i linked the carrier update on recent post. update your settings.

Your original post didn't say anything about "hacking" the phone. Which that pretty much is what you're doing. Not exactly, but it is altering what Apple and AT&T have officially released.

Technically speaking then, one could say that the iPhone is open to other carriers. But that isn't exactly true because it isn't opened to other carriers.

As for MMS being available on my phone, without hacking, it is not. I just verified that I have the latest updates and this is the screen I get:

There's no camera to the left of the text field.

I've had MMS enabled on AT&T ever since I got my 3GS but that was obviously a mistake by AT&T. They never turned it off on their side. Once I enabled the "hack" it worked just like it was supposed to.

i didnt mention hacking because it has nothing to do with this. phone doesnt have to be jailbroken (hacked). open to other carriers? you mean unlocked, yea youd have to jailbreak for that (hack). if you knew what you were talking about, you'd know, that is simply not the case here. it updates right off itunes. jst need the carrier file with settings. please stop trying to speak on something you obviously havent looked into. either way, you just sit back and wait for the 25th. waited this long. whats another couple weeks?

nice DrDrrae :D

this is mine UNHACKED lol

You need to run a command to enable iTunes to update the phone's carrier profile.

Windows:

"%ProgramFiles%\iTunes\iTunes.exe" /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1

OSX:

defaults write com.apple.iTunes carrier-testing -bool TRUE

But it's not going to work unless AT&T enables MMS on the server side.

Does iTunes 8.2.1 allow you to update the ipcc file directly?

yes just have to run this command in a prompt to unlock that feature

"c:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe" /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1

of course change the path to wherever your itunes.exe is installed :)

edit: too slow what he said :p ^^^

lol.. zomg HACKS! wait till Hurm... catches you. ;)

Also..on osx, remember to hold the alt/option key while you click on update. that brings up the finder so you can select the ipcc

not at all.

hmm... perhaps i'm doing something wrong...

i closed out of itunes and killed all processes linked to itunes

i opened the command prompt and pasted this

"c:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe" /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1

then i opened itunes and held shift while clicking update

i chose the ipcc file

am i supposed to restart the phone?

am i missing a step?
