Got the carrier update via iTunes, rebooted phone (twice), but no indication MMS options so far. I have a 2G. Did I miss something?

You have to connect to iTunes, download carrier update & sync, then turn on MMS. Settings --> Messages. You might then have to restart. Then it will show up, but remember the other person has to have it turned on as well or have another phone that's had it since 2002 :)

I don't see those options in Settings --> Messages. Still the same screen as before the update. I tried iTunes again to check for updates and it says there are no new updates.

The hardware in a 2G cant process mms messages. They have only said that 10,000 times. Apple can do no wrong in my eyes

Sorry to disagree, Caleb, but a jailbroken 2G phone has the ability to send MMS. So the hardware can process it.

Can someone test something for me since I can't yet? With the famous carrier hack, whenever I try to send an SMS to a few people at the same time... it changes the caption to "Group MMS" and when people get the message, they are forced to login to AT&T's website like the old days to view a picture/text - when they view it, it's my text message. It's annoying.
Can someone test this for me with the official carrier file? Send a quick SMS by typing in at least two peoples names - don't use the blue plus sign, because that method seems to work for me with the carrier hack, it's just horribly annoying! haha

Doesn't work on 3.0 or 3.0.1...they make you upgrade to 3.1 which is BS. I'm JB and i don't want to upgrade to 3.1. Apple and AT&T have kept me waiting for over two years already, so I'll wait.
as a side note... doing it this way also enables tethering in the phone settings... not sure if that's in the official update or not.

Too bad us original iPhone users won't have this option. I don't mind buying the new hardware, but I don't want to commit myself to AT&T for two more years.
iPhonetech

It wouldn't make a diffrence if you started your contract over again because you just said it yourself, "I don't mind buying the new hardware". You are probably going to still be with at&t for two more years with the first genration iPhone, as if you bought a new iphone. So why not buy one?
Todd Albert
· 2 months ago
Because, if I can use my iPhone, or an iPhone 3G(s) on a more reliable network, like Verizon's, I will. When my contract is up, I'll probably unlock my phone and switch. I'll give up visual voicemail for a signal any day! Wouldn't you?

What's the difference between MMS and the free MMS-like apps available through the app store? I use Picfree to send picture messages. It works pretty well and doesn't cost anything (other than the $1.99 it cost to buy it)

Sending MMS from my iphone seems to work just fine. However, MMS I receive has the following... "one or more of the message components have been deleted by MMS Adaptation. Either the message was too large or the components were unsuitable for your terminal."
What kind of BS is that.

Well, the download went well. I didn't see where it said to reboot but I did anyway. It added the little camera icon and I was able to attach photos. I sent out test photos to friends on other networks to test it. I don't see where you can send anything but photos, however, on the 3G.

If I use an email address not in my phone to send from iMac to iPhone it works! Weird.

Ever notice the E on your iPhone when you're on the Edge (2G) network? Not that I am living in rural Tennessee, my phone sometimes shows O. I asked Apple about this. It means that I am connected to an old 1G network. I didn't know that those still existed. The service here is so spotty, I doubt I'd be able to send an MSS even if I had a 3G phone.

if anyone is having the problems of not being able to send but receive or vice versa, simply go to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset Network Settings. This will not delete any data simply reset the carrier information to the default with the new update given today. Good luck.
