We just got the information from a Twitter user – Adam, that the AT&T MMS Carrier Update is out on iTunes!
Apple has issued a support article explaining the process for activating MMS. You should update to iPhone OS 3.1 if you have not already done so, and then click the “Update Settings” button on the pop-up window notifying them that a new carrier settings file is available.
With AT&T’s announcement on bringing MMS to the iPhone on September 25th, they’ve now released a video clip “Seth the Blogger Guy” explaining the data drama in the past several years and also how AT&T has been working (they say so) to expand its infrastructure to handle the pressure on its network. Blogger Guy shows the (not-so) steps AT&T has undertaken for the launch of MMS on the iPhone.
We’ve been working for months to prepare the radio access controllers in our network to support this launch. That means calibrating base stations all over the country, and frankly that’s a very time-consuming process. MMS for the iPhone will be coming on September 25th. We wanted to make sure that when MMS for the iPhone launches, the experience was great. We wanted to get it right.
They tell in the video clip about the investments AT&T has made in its network, totaling $38 billion over the past two years, to increase capacity and deploy coverage based on the 850 MHz spectrum, which offers improved capacity and in-building coverage. Finally, Seth points to AT&T’s ongoing work to deploy technology to improve data transfer speeds and the expansion of 3G to additional markets.
Miller informed Apple about this vulnerability and Apple was quick on releasing a patch with the iPhone Firmware 3.0.1 and everybody could sleep at night once again.

AT&T is the most hated cell phone carrier on the planet earth, or so it seems everywhere you look. With the new iPhone OS 3.0 Apple announced iPhone MMS and tethering compatibility.
Everybody was excited until AT&T said that they will not offer this services until “later this summer” . Boo-hoo. So, people were mad, but finally got used to the fact that they have to wait for the official release of this services. Got used to it, until they start to wonder when the hell will this happen, what exactly does “later this summer” means.
The information i just got from my AT&T ninja , seems to be the same as “later this summer” . He told me that AT&T will enable MMS for its users once the new iPhone firmware 3.1 will be released . Released date for the new firmware is not certain, all we know is that it will be released towards the end of August or early September.
