New Delhi, September 25: iPhone MMS update iPhone MMS release date AT&T mms. AT&T is all set to switch on MMS facility in iPhones across the US. Though it is not going to happen in one and it will be done in several shifts, most probably Friday itself.
AT&T’s been feeding us a story that it’ll offer MMS on the iPhone only “once [it completes] some system upgrades that will ensure our customers have the best experience,” but here’s the thing: it seems that it works right now — if you’ve got a build of OS 3.0 that’ll let it.
None of us have been able to get it going ourselves, but we’ve been sent screenshots from a tipster that seem to indicate that both MMS and tethering are in full effect on the network, so there doesn’t seem to be a network restriction involved (we can’t verify whether the build we see here was tweaked, so we’re thinking there might be some hackery in play).
The strategy for ultimately deploying the features to AT&T customers is unclear, but seeing how some folks in Europe running the exact same gold build of 3.0 have access to MMS and those of us stateside do not, it’s got to be a software switch that can be triggered remotely.
Apple iPhone customers’ long wait for MMS service is going to end late this morning as the phone’s carrier AT&T had set the activation of the service for September 25.
To the surprise of many, no iPhones model, despite being high-end smartphones could so far be used for sending and receiving MMS.
The long –wait for MMS was actually caused by AT&T’s sluggish network which needed to remove the MMS opt-out codes manually. However, reports that some iPhone customers have already started zapping photos back and forth using MMS indicate that these loopholes seem to have been plugged and network beefed up during the summer.
