Why are you getting so worked up?
It hasn't worked for him - and by all counts it looks like he is no newbie, so why not try and find out why it doesn't work rather than saying 'it works for me so it must work for you.'
Are you suggesting he has not installed your file properly? Or that he is lying?

lol, worked up.

My previous post:

go to

settings>messages

and make sure MMS Messaging
is enabled.

Out of the 8, how many have a monthly iPhone contract, how many are PAYG and how many have another O2 plan? Because i have used this ipcc with 3 iphone 35£ monthly plans + one simplicity tariff £25 a month (not iphone) and each one worked without issue.

Clearly some questions trying to pin point exactly why it isn't working for him when i personally have had no issues.

Not one question was answered, instead i got a smart *** pedestal climbing answer.

Why you need to have even made your last post i don't know? If your going to post in a thread please read it all first.

He said in his first post that O2 needs to officially switch MMS on. I have tried this with 3 iPhone contracted iPhones and each worked with the ipcc file. O2 needed to switch nothing on - for me.

Let me see if I can shed some light onto this situation.

I'm currently spinning 3.0 Beta 2 on my iPhone 3G (O2UK Contract).

I have installed the .ipcc file and I have all the necessary settings and graphics installed and ready.

HOWEVER... sending and receiving MMS still does NOT work. After several calls to O2, it seems as though they DO need to 'turn it on'.

"MMS services are not available for iPhone tariffs at this time".

The guy at the end of the phone said I could transfer my iPhone tariff to a standard tariff, where MMS services could be included. I said no. Why? Because I'd lose Visual Voicemail, inclusive minutes and I'd need a Bolt On for Wi-Fi. Big headache.

So, my two cents on the situation? O2 are still figuring out the infrastructure for the billing side of the headache, so for now (unlike a few weeks ago when, apparently, MMS services were available for iPhone users in the UK) has been suspended till the official release of iPhone 3.0. i.e. Reps telling you "It's not available for iPhone" is a load of bull. They are just buying time, shoving people off until the deadline.

Which means this...

Quote:

There is no case of O2 'switching it on'. It is on by default. This ipcc file just puts the relevant settings onto the iPhone to enable MMS - nothing more and nothing less than O2 would do, even if they did it 'officially'.

... is a load of rubbish, at least now anyway. The .ipcc file is STRICTLY for the iPhone UI, always has been, always will be. If they disable it from the service end, which THEY HAVE, the carrier bundle is nothing more than GUI tease of what is to come.

Anyway, one guy said to me, "Hang tight, MMS services are coming to the iPhone in June/July". So could this be the release date for iPhone 3.0!?

Peace.
