It's not as simple to get AT&T to put the MMS plan on the iPhone as people are pointing out. You will have to tell AT&T that you have another phone (not the iPhone), provide them with an IMEI of another AT&T phone, and get a plan that will allow for MMS. It won't cost any extra, I believe, since you are just switching out the iPhone's SMS/data plan for a non-iPhone SMS/data plan. Since it's not an iPhone plan, you will lose the ability to receive visual voicemail. This workaround works, but it is far from acceptable. I ended up giving up since I don't send or receive many MMS messages, and I would rather have visual voicemail! Apple and AT&T need to open their eyes and just permit MMS on this phone, since people will use up more SMS/MMS messages and provide AT&T with additional profits! I believe that Apple is withholding this so that they can present it later on, and it's truly annoying! You can go here (SwirlyMMS's site to get answers): SwirlySpace.com • Index page .

It is not a plan.. its a fricking service.

free weekends is a plan... stop the clock is a plan
GPRS is a sim service
MMS is a sim service
voicemail is a fricking service!

visual voicemail otoh may be part of your plan but if you share 2 phones with one sim card (my xdaII and iphone) there should be no reason why they cant just add on the bloody service.

If that's the way they want to play it I'll unlock mine just to put a competitors PAYT MMS enabled sim in just for mms

Edit:
Just read the edit .... so they actively de-activeate it .... I'm so suddenly beginning to hate apple/ATT .... I'll need to dig around to find out if it's the same with O2/ other carriers but that is just total ******** - I wonder what their motive is? I can send a picture in an e-mail for free on wifi... or I can get charged 36p a txt on mms ... go figure?

I am still amazed that this issue still hasn't been dealt with by Apple. The 2 features of Video recording and MMS are 2 basic functionalities of most phones in todays market. Yet the appointed GOD of phones cant do either.

I hope someone helps us fully understand what to expect with AT&T and how to make 3G iphones work if we even can. People are saying it will and it wont, so I'm not sure.

This sounded like a good work around until I read the part about losing visual voice mail. (lame)
If that's the case, hopefully the other visual voice mail options will have a better iphone app in the near future. I used to use youmail with my treo until I got my iphone. I like the custom greetings based on caller ID etc. I might switch back if they released an actual iphone app. I guess the web version isnt too bad, they formated it pretty well for iphone and you can just create a home screen shortcut.

I don't know about sending, but you can receive video. My GF sent me a video she took on her LG Voyager and I got it on my phone. I'm pretty sure you can send though. I tried sending one on my phone but I couldn't remember where IVR stored videos so I gave up. SwirlyMMS, FileBrowser, and Agile Messenger are the last three apps I need ported to 2.x and I'll be happy

My friend just gotta 3G and he's complaining about how high his bill is. He says once a software unlock for 3g is out he's leaving AT&T too.

People on the Swirly form seem to think it will be possible to spoof the IMEI to make everything work. What are the odds we can get both MMS and Visual Voice mail to work at the same time?

Yes - what I meant was that one needs to have a plan that permits one to send and receive MMS messages. The iPhone SMS plan does not permit this. Also, in the past it was possible to have AT&T turn on the MMS service for the iPhone, but they stopped doing that and have a system that turns off MMS service for individuals with iPhones - I believe that it checks for accounts with iPhones and turns off the MMS service if it is turned on. It's really obvious that they don't want iPhone users to send/receive MMS messages other than by logging on to the stupid viewmymessage site.

It not only checks for accounts with iPhones and iPhone plans... it actually collects IMEI data from the device logged onto the system and if it matches that of an iPhone it will de-activate your MMS even if you're not on an iPhone plan. And for those people on Swirly Forums that have hopes for IMEI spoofing there is no one (especially the Dev team) volunteering to do this yet.
