AT&T still going by September 25th deadline for iPhone MMS
There have been reports of Apple iPhone users in the U.S. suddenly receiving/sending picture messages even though AT&T has given a date of September 25th as to when they will start that service. After waiting all of these years, it must be frustrating to be so close but still, a good week and a half away from MMS. Some owners of Apple's touchscreen device found that by updating their carrier settings, they were able to get MMS going on their phone. The problem was that by updating the settings, many users also found negative side effects like the loss of Visual Voicemail or even the loss of simple phone functions.

AT&T spokeman Mark Siegel was adamant about the September 25th deadline. "September 25th is still the date that MMS will be available to iPhone users," he said, "We can't comment on what people might have been doing" to get MMS to work in the meantime. One thing that those with working MMS function have in common is that the recent OS upgrade to 3.1 for the iPhone also updated the AT&T carrier profile to version 5.0. You can try to update this on your device to see what happens, but again, you do risk losing the phone part of the iPhone and walking around with just "i" is not going to help you stay in touch.

Stop reporting useless crap that you just reported on last week! If they pushed their deadline back, maybe that would be something to post... but a reminder that they are still on track? Your obsession with Apple and the iPhone is ridiculous!

http://solar-system-astronomy.suite101.com/article.cfm/first_day_of_fall summer ends on September 22 at 5:18 PM EDT so, as deejay says it's only 3 days after the end of summer. know what your talking about before you open your mouth, it just makes you look stupid.

Yay! Thanks for keeping us to date with last month's news! I love you Phonearena...

Haha....it cracks me up that its always the same people tracking down each post about the iPhone on this site and making stupid posts like "lulz gayt&t is so behind the times" or "Zomg!!1!1 another iPhone post!? You guys really jock Apple's junk huh?" -_- If you guys hate this iphone/website so much, why do you come back here EVERY.SINGLE.DAY?

6. Fanboys Suck posted on 16 Sep 2009, 12:52

Ever hear of addiction? ...yeah, addiction.

It's people like you that prevent progression. I love this website. Too much to allow it to continue to rant on about pointless info. I've been coming to this site long before the iPhone. Therefore, I have every right, as a loyal visitor, to rant and rave about useless updates. "trentsinmypants", you can tell by the name alone, that you have no sense of direction in life. Don't criticize criticism...

Who r u to put ur two cents in on " trentsinmypant's" personal life....ur gonna judge a person based on their user name on phone arena? Like u stated urself in ur own post...He has a right to post whatever he wants just like u or i do....who made u king sir???

11. LGVX1993 posted on 16 Sep 2009, 14:30

Maybe we come here for other news and reviews

13. The Doc posted on 16 Sep 2009, 14:47

Tflex, I didn't know that the website had "Comments Police". I never declared myself to be king. However, as soon as someone criticizes me for something I post, that person then puts themselves in a position for criticism as well. My opinion was strictly directed towards the website's content. Why then, would anyone who has no input on the info displayed on this website, have any right to criticize me? And since you so eloquantly decided to also criticize someone for a post that had nothing to do with you directly, you too should re-evaluate your opinions and keep them to yourself. By your name, "tflex", you have no credibility as you're probably just a scrawny little albino kid that loves to knit. Don't try to be rude for no reason. I wasn't talking to you or "trentsinmypants" when I made my post so mind your own business...

Just don't click on any more iphone articles. Problem solved. I agree that this article is useless (somewhat considering that AT&T hasn't been very direct with the MMS dates) but everyone is making it a big deal.

Whoa! Someone has sand in his vajayjay!! Quick everyone, lets all huddle around "The Doc" and do a group hug.....maybe then he will take the stick out of his ass :P

Also....... "The Doc" wrote: " I have every right, as a loyal visitor, to rant and rave about useless updates." WOW....you have the 'right' to rant and rave just because you come to this site willingly? HA! You sound like every other wireless consumer who feels that they have the "right" to demand free stuff when just because they pay their bill on time! Correct me if Im wrong, but if you found my post so anti-progressive, why would you fuel the fire? Congrats on completely derailing this thread.....I bet PhoneArena constantly reposts stuff like this just so they can sit back and watch people like you & "VZW Fanman" get their panties in a bunch......

23. vzw fanman posted on 16 Sep 2009, 19:58

im loyal user. :-).

25. trentsinmypants posted on 16 Sep 2009, 20:15
