Yeah you can go on this site iPhone 3.1 How to Activate MMS (AT&T)|SegaGraphics. It shows how to do it on windows.

Works like a champ on my wifes 3GS but not mine. The camera icon wont show up. I used to have it a while back but it never worked and then one day it was gone. I wonder if its a jailbroken app not allowing it to show up. Strange.

I've done ALL of this...but when I press Shift+Check For Updates, it only lets me look for "ipsw" files and not ipcc.

So, I can't find the file I downloaded.

This is what I did to get MMS working on my iPhone 3GS 32GB Using iTunes 8.2 on my AT&T Network:


1. Open Terminal (Applications > Utilities)
Type the following command: defaults write com.apple.iTunes carrier-testing -bool TRUE

2. Downloaded and Installed the file for Carrier 5.0 file (Reboot iPhone)

3. Put my sim card into an alternate phone that takes a sim card

4. Went to here (https://mymedianet.wireless.att.com/app/MC) and signed up for media net

5. Sent A MMS or SMS from or to the Alternate phone (This step changes your phone in your At&t account and makes your online account think you have the alternate phone as your primary)

5. Switch the sim card back into the iphone and Bingo!!! MMS

Hope this helps someone that was having trouble

i used this method too and it worked great
i tried it on 2 3GS's and a 3G

BEST POST I'VE SEEN ON MMI... thats awesome rescuer

You could fiddle with all that MMS crap...or you can be awesome and have mms for the past year on the 2G without having a single problem /@$$hole mode

i couldve sworn this was done/stated way back on the previous mms woking for some thread...

Worked for me in SF Bay Area.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but if this person is sending an MMS to an EMAIL address, is that not emailing the picture and not MMSing it to a cellphone number? If so, I can do that now....what I cen't do still is sent MMS, no matter what carrier file I try, or settings I use. So me being a grumpt 34 year old, I'll wait 9 more days, and forget all this MMS crap for now.

Do I reboot it and THEN check for update+shift?

I'm not even sure when I go to Run>>cmd and enter "C:Program Files (x86)iTunesiTunes.exe” /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1" its even working.

How do I know I'm doing that correctly?

reboot your phone ater you update the settings

Settings>General>Network>Celullar Data Network and under the MMS section:

What I had...

username
password
mms proxy 66.209.11.32

Changed to...

username [email protected]
password CINGULAR1
mms proxy 66.209.11.32:80

I am using an iPhone 3G, firmware 3.0.1, carrier ipcc file with AT&T is 5.0

Before these changes I had the camera but when I would send a photo I would get the red exclamation point. Now I can send a photo and this time it looks like it sticks at about 85-90% again but actually goes through after maybe 10 seconds or so. It sent. My pop up showed a text message from ###-###-#### (it did not show a picture preview). I had to open my messages app and there it was, the picture I sent to myself to test it out.

The reason I had the settings the other way was I downloaded the 5.0 ipcc file from another site. The contributor was adamant that it would work without a username and password. Well I decided to add it from this post and add port 80 to the mms proxy field and...boom MMS now goes through for me.

EDIT: Also I have my WiFi on and the photos are going through for me.

EDIT 2: It might be worth noting I use to be a Cingular customer and was phased into AT&T when they merged. This could be why I need to have a username and password. Customers who were never with Cingular might not need these fields filled as some seem to say it works without them. That could be a possibility.

Any chance of mms working on 1st gen iPhones? :P

Nope. MMS only will work with iPhone 3G and 3Gs, this has been stated by Apple and on many other sites.

You can get an 8GB 3G pretty cheap now. Check craigslist you can probably get a used one for a great price. Might want to think about upgrading if you use MMS a lot.

[danw217]

i've been trying to get this to work with no success... I am able to update my IPCC file and the phone shows Carrier: AT&T 5.0 in the About page... and i've entered all the Cellular Data connection info (user name, password, proxy, etc...) but there is still no camera icon! And no option to enable MMS under my message settings..

I am running 3.0.1 on my 32GB 3GS... anybody else have a clue?

[mediocre420]

would this maybe get swirly mms working again on my 2g? It suddenly stopped working a few months ago and i havent been able to figure it out.

[clikzip]

i called at&t and told them i had a blackberry, they even changed the data plan which should change your apn on their end. Internet still worked but didnt seem as responsive as before, mms works great tho..

[agent005]

Thank you, I knew there were various methods around, but this seems very easy and straightforward. I'm just waiting for my iPhone to reboot right now.

[timmytk]

haaha thats why i miss MMS not every girl has email capabilities on her phone

[KartRacer]

Not totally on topic, but many have said before that they get to 95% and it hangs then throws the dreaded red exclamation point saying it didn't send. Is there a way to have that show up on the springboard badge like the way it show you have 1-2-3-4 and so on messages? Instead of only numbers have an exclamation point showing a text didn't go through? Cause I have many problems getting texts to go through all the time and it would be nice to see it didn't go through rather than finding out 20 minutes after I hit send.

[kline1]

would this work if i have an original iphone plan, but using an iphone 3gs......i have tried the old way that ppl been talking about but nothing.......is it because i have regular $20 iphone plan with my 3gs?

[bteamer]

the "latest" method? more like the SAME method that's been around for months.... with plenty of threads already made about it...

Jeezum bro. I've never even heard of this, so now thanks to Paul I get MMS. Dont be such a jerkoff
