article published on 3 September, 2009
While users of Research in Motion's Blackberry, or Windows Mobile handsets, and a large amount of other Smartphones available were able to send Multimedia Messages (MMS) for years now, AT&T is only going to make it possible for iPhone 3G/3GS users on its network to use the feature on September 25.

It better be free. I've waited 3 years to do something on a smart phone that I could do on my 8 year old phone.

Really?!!??! Oh wait, I've been able to send MMS messages since I got my iPhone. First through SwirlyMMS and more recently using the simple carrier hack that enables it natively....

Did I read this right? If your an AT&T customer you must have an iPhone 3G/3GS to be able to send MMS. No other phone is going to be allowed to be able to do this ?

All your base iPhone plans come with unlimited text and data which would cover the MMS charges for either program... MMS is covered by text and Tethering by data (albeit the slight risk).

umm not. the basic iphone plans does not have unlimited text. unlimited data yes, text no. and tethering isnt covered in the unlimited data section. the unlimited data is data for the phone only, not for whatever device you have connected to it. just ask my room mate who had a 450 dollar bill when he tethered his phone to his laptop while on vacation.

i ahte the fact that the iphone has allowed phones to come with crap to no features and it accpeted by the public. if HTC ot SE or nokia did this on a falgship phone they would be scruitanized.

at&t messaging plans count all messages the same.
sms, mms and im count as one message each.
sure, you could have used a sanctioned app to send mms before,
but it would use an email address to send them.
there were hacks after the os 3.0, but that shouldn't be the case.
iphone is the first phone i've ever had that didn't do mms,
and otherwise the most capable phone i've ever used.
at&t has a failure of a data network and customers pay the price,
even in the form of exorbitant iphone data plan charges.

I updated using iTunes then power cycled the phone and it's working with no issue.
sucks that email-to-mms is superior in some ways due to the weak edge signal being my only cellular data connection at home. can other mobile devices do sms/mms over wifi?
