In a case of here is what you cannot have, a display was recently spotted in an AT&T Wireless retail location highlighting MMS messaging. After seeing this ad, being displayed in store so nicely, I am wondering how many people are going to be upset after they learn that MMS messaging will not be available for a little while longer.
All I can really say is, thanks AT&T, of course despite being a little hard to communicate in written form, that was meant with plenty of sarcasm. You would have thought AT&T would highlight a feature that is already available as to minimize the potential of angry calls to tech support from people trying to use MMS.

Yeah, I will never understand why AT&T isn’t prepared for technology that has been out for years. We have been using mms since before the iPhone existed and yet we’re waiting for them to turn it on. I find this very sad. There is absolutely NO (acceptable) EXCUSE for this. AT&T had plenty of notice about mms coming to the iPhone. It’s not like they just found out last month.
I’m betting they’re just not prepared for the hit the servers are going to take. Think about how many new subscribers AT&T has acuired in the last two years who are iPhone users. On that note, I’ve had my iPhone 3G since launch and I have never been able to get 3G speeds. I’m already mad enough that I have to pay $30 a month instead of $20 because of 3G, yet I’ve never been able to use it and have just had it turned off. MMS is part of the family texting plan I’m on. Others on my plan can use mms with their razrs and now even though my iPhone is capable, I still can’t. I believe that they could have easily had mms ready by now, they must be holding off for another reason.

Personally I don’t think AT&T is half the company Cingular was. The coverage I got from Cingular was great, prices were reasonable, as soon as AT&T bought them out, I dropped calls like crazy, I couldn’t have a conversation, since things have improved some. However, I will be glad when Apple is out of this marriage with AT&T, it will interesting to see what happens once there’s some competition involved.
AT&T should be giving refunds since we are paying for a feature that cannot be utilized !

Money is the answer…What’s the question?
AT&T is slow to support it because they can’t charge for it and it eats bandwidth. Their service is already horrible, why put more stress on the system with people texting pictures of puppies to all their friends?
They know they have a captive audience with the iPhone and can get away with it, so they do.

Cingular bought out Att but kept the name. Anyway, they are ready to handle mms, but there is just a problem where they have to go into each account manually and take off some type of block code so we can use the feature. It’s coming guys, I heard around July.

I agree with those who don’t like AT&T. Cingular was better and that is the reason I still have original iPhone and refuse to upgrade to 3g or 3gs.

I wasnt never a customer of cingular but I bet they could beat what att is doing. I mean them not supporting mms on our iphones is completly unacceptable. Its on every other fucking phone yet our smart, intelligent iphone cant send a fucking picture of my girlfriends tits. When another company gets ahold of the iphone i’m a gone mother fucker!!
