I updated the carrier settings, and it looks like I can send MMS…but I get 3/4 of the way through sending the message and it quits sending.

I have a family plan and keep losing the ability to received the viewmymessage.com. Talked to apple today and they said MMS will be activated on Sept. 25th. At least I hope it will be!

If you do this on a mac you need to type in

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

into terminal

How the hell do I stop getting messages about this. I commented a long time ago about how to get it working and now the messages just keep popping up. What’s even more odd is I don’t see my post up there. Closest to my post I see is what a Sean had said. I was just a bit more detailed about it when I wrote up my comment.

iTunes wouldn’t let me use a .ipcc file at first so I ran:

“C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe” /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1

on the cmd.
Then I closed and re-opened iTunes, plugged in my iPhone, clicked on my iPhone icon on the side panel, then held the control key while clicking the update button. Then I was able to use the .ipcc file. After that I just synced my phone and I now have tethering.

E-mail me if ya want info, I got it to work.. promise…

Out of curiousity I called ATT and the techs told me that the end of THIS month that they will be done with their “updates” and MMS will be ofically supported..

AND THIS GUY IS A DUMBASS AND DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT..

Written By Alanon July 7th, 2009Here’s the deal, all you all are doing is wasting your time trying to get the MMS enabled on your 3G iPhone using the 3.0 OS. It will not work! It doesn’t matter if you removed your sim card from your iPhone and put it in another type of AT&T phone then do all this downloading of stuff and then return the sim card to the iPhone…. It will not work REGARDLESS!!! These people who have posted info on how to enable the MMS feature are lying to you and they have no idea of what they’re talking about. My IT co-workers have done everything to get the MMS feature working but there is no way to do so. Also, when you downloaded the latest itunes and upgraded the OS to 3.0 you’ve basically locked your phone and itunes. There is NO WAY to “rollback” your itunes version nor is there a way to “rollback” your OS on the phone. You’re stuck! You’re at the mercy of AT&T now. And no matter how many times you call AT&T and tell them you’re a developer they will NOT flip some magical switch so you can get MMS on your iPhone. In short, quit trying to enable the MMS because it will not work until AT&T releases its carrier update.

Update: Do not download the beta 2 of iPhone OS 3.1. It disables tethering and MMS. Wait for OS 3.1 to be released. That is the supposed date that these features will be released.

I have tried all methods. Tethering works either with help.benm.at or the ITunes 8.20.10 / AT&T ipcc 5.0 Carrier update methods described above. I would be careful about what you tether to. I corrupted the ethernet settings on my fathers computer when attempting to tether and had to do an OEM restore. As for MMS, I’ve tried it all. It worked initially for a day then failed. Since then I can get it working for about 5 minutes with the SIM swap method, but then it fails. I have unlimited general messaging enabled with AT&T. Just tell them you sometimes switch phones for battery life reasons or additional features on your other phone and don’t accept no for an answer. The only thing I do not have that other successes have reported is the family plan which may prevent reversion once MMS is successfully setup. If anyone can speak to this phenomenon and help me out, I would appreciated it. Thanks and good luck.
