AT&T to Roll Out the iPhone MMS Feature Today

Tweet

Today, AT&T is rolling out the iPhone MMS feature, meaning that “late morning” Pacific Time users get to download the new MMS carrier settings from iTunes and, if things work smoothly, will be able to start sending picture messages right away.

Although they’ve done a great job in waiting for the whole deal, AT&T announced on Facebook that it’s official, US users are getting multimedia messages on their iPhones. “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,” they said.

Although the news brings a smile to our faces, two issues come to mind. First one is the fact that some have reported that they already got the iPhone update, but MMS is not working for them. Another interesting approach is that the “record volumes” of messages that are expected to pour in are going to bring AT&T’s network down.

So have you updated your iPhone, can you send MMS?
