Mms?

[plevine1]

Likely a stupid question but......
So it seems a number of ATT folks now have MMS working on their phones. How can you determine if your phone now has this ability?

When you go into Messages and try to type someone a message there will now be a camera icon next to the text input box. It works really slick actually.

or touch any photo in photos, the touch the box icon with the arrow (as if you were sending the pic in an email) and it should say MMS.

Had it with the updated carrier, but had to see a "genius" and get my phone replaced. Now I am just gonna wait 5 days to get it back-no biggie.

If under settings you have carrier file 5.1 you're most likely set. If there's no camera icon just try restarting your phone.

now the people that have this have modified something in their carrier files right? seems like something would have to change in order for this to work. i cant see that one day it just shows up with no change to anything. is this correct?? do iphones work the same as blackberry's in that an item can be pushed thru to the phone without any input from the user?

thats wha im saying....how would the feature just appear???

From what I read, AT&T has been activating MMS early in certain areas. However, it's sporadic. The majority of iPhone users without an altered carrier file still don't have MMS. If you're one to frequently restart your phone, the new carrier file could be pushed to you via the cellular data network.

The carrier file will be pushed via itunes on the 25th I believe.

Take a look here to enable it early
