iPhone MMS: The Wait Is Almost Over for ATT Customers
Posted in: Apple, att, iPhone, Phones, Today's Chili
AT&T iPhone owners have been waiting over two years for a feature that almost every other cellphone has had for ages: multimedia messaging. That day is almost here. MMS lands on the iPhone tomorrow.
AT&T posted the following message on its Facebook page:
MMS Update: We know you’ve been eager for this service so we wanted to offer a quick update on the launch plans for MMS on Friday, Sept. 25. Late morning, Pacific Time, on Friday, the new carrier settings update enabling MMS should be live and ready to download through iTunes. We’ll provide the steps and all of the details you need right here at that time.
That sounds like a painless upgrade: You won’t have to download a huge iPhone software update just to gain MMS. Updating the carrier settings usually involves flashing the firmware, which takes a matter of seconds.
Now, let’s see if AT&T can handle the huge amount of data traffic tomorrow when thousands of iPhone users send their “O.M.G. I FINALLY HAVE MMS!” messages, toothy-grinned self-portraits attached.
