Petition for AT&T to support MMS on iPhones on 6/17

I think AT&T users are getting shafted. I started a petition. Sign in with a twitter or take a few seconds to create an account and sign it. It will be forwarded to all AT&T corporate officers once we have enough signatures!

MMS won't be available every where else in the world on 6/17. Only in ~26 countries I think they said.

I signed it, I even retweeted your tweet, but I don't think it will do any good. From what I have read AT&T is having to manually remove the opt out for each iPhone 3G user. I would really like it to be ready because I do not know if I will be able to modify the carrier file on my 3G S when it gets here. It is gonna suck not to have mms on my new phone.

I just talked to a customer service person at at&t and asked them to activate MMS for my iPhone. The guy said that he couldn't do anything and to talk to Apple to activate it...which I know shouldn't be the case since MMS is a feature for at&t, right?

Don't really care bout the MMS thing. but, MMS is good to go on 3.0 and yes it needs carrier support.

I am sure AT&T is well aware of the general disappointment. I am also sure that Apple is putting the pressure on. Did you see Scott's face when he said AT&T will support MMS later in the summer? He was not happy!

Apple doesn't activate MMS, that's AT&T, it's their service. Apple will have to put out a carrier settings update for AT&T once they are ready for MMS. Currently the MMS options/icons are hidden in the latest software.

I guess it was more to make a point. I don't really expect AT&T to respond. Or if I'll even get enough signatures to take it anywhere.

And you guys are right, Apple has nothing to do with activating MMS, that's AT&T. Seems to me a lot of people have gotten that response from AT&T reps and if they're telling people to call Apple, that's crappy. Apple can't do anything and they shouldn't have to take the heat for AT&T being retarded.

I don't understand why they can't just come up with a better idea.

What if AT&T sent a mass e-mail or text to everyone that has an iPhone (like they do for people that don't have the correct data plan), and say "Hey go to your OLAM and change your text plan to the new option available to allow MMS to work on your iPhone"

They can create a new iPhone messaging plan that provisions MMS and just let the customer change it themselves by signing into their account and changing a setting.
Tada, problem solved.

I agree. I just signed your petition too. I'm not happy wit AT&T and not being ready. As much as I pay a month they should have been readylast year.
