IPhone MMS Update

IPhone MMS Update

IPhone users in the U.S. will finally get a long-anticipated feature: Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS). With a patch from iTunes, AT&T iPhone owners will be able to quickly send pictures and videos to their friends. Of course, a lot of people seem to forget that almost every other phone has MMS capability. In fact, the iPhone has been MMS-capable since June, when iPhone OS 3.0 was released. The delay has been because of AT&T, which has been furiously upgrading its infrastructure to handle the increased stress that MMS will cause on its network. 3G iPhone users in the U.S. will finally be receiving Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) through an upgrade by AT&T. By downloading a patch from, AT&T 3G Phone owners will be able to quickly send pictures and videos to their friends, like they send text messages (See the picture below).

As most of you will be aware, the highly anticipated MMS update from AT&T is expected to go live today at somepoint this morning for all iPhone users. While we have confirmed that some of you have already received the update, many are still waiting for the update to appear. As we reported to you yesterday, AT&T confirmed that the update is ‘expected’ to go live towards the ‘late morning’ to iPhone customers on the Pacific time zone. Well thats not too long away now, so you should start checking out iTunes to see if the update has become available. It’s quite a strange situation, as we know there are a lot of you who have already unlocked the MMS features with no problems, but for others, this process is proving to be quite difficult.
