iPhone MMS update

iPhone MMS update release September 25 2009 | TechBanyan: US 3G iPhone users will finally be able to receive Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) through an AT&T upgrade. By downloading the update from iTunes, AT&T 3G iPhone users will be able to send pictures and videos to friends, just like text messages

You’ve been waiting for it. We’ve been bitching about it, but it’s here! MMS for iPhone is available for download from iTunes as a “carrier update”.
Open iTunes, plug your iPhone in and you should have a message saying that a carrier update is available for download.


AT&T and Apple have begun to roll out MMS service to U.S. iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS users. The service requires a carrier settings update—listed in the Settings application as AT&T 5.5—which is available through the Update feature in iTunes. AT&T originally promised to have the service available by late summer, but later changed that date to today; it rolled out the feature to a small test group early last week, and is reportedly nervous about today’s launch based on the traffic demands seen from the test users.

Some users have said “iTunes downloaded my carrier update, but I still do not have MMS capability on my iPhone”, have you had this problem after getting the carrier settings update?
