ok i have been trying around to get MMS working on my 3G beta 5 iphone. i have tried numerous ipcc files and MMS settings. i have also called ATT and have my account set on a standard messageing plan instead of the iphone unlimited plan.

does anyone have and tips or tricks? or any advise?
 
from what i understand, no one's mms works in beta 5. my options were there when i first updated, but when i woke up the next morning they were gone. tell me how that works.
 
hmmm. i have all of my settings. they did not disappear.... and most people on the other forum site that i use are getting it to work with modified ATT_US.ipcc files.
 
did you re-apply the ipcc file? you have to use the itunes beta that was released with iphone beta 4!
 
My MMS still works (just tried it) on beta 5. I'm using the new iTunes beta and I haven't touched the IPCC file since beta 2. It's worked for me in every beta since 2. My plan is the family messaging unlimited.
 
Beta 5 has been the easiest and most consistant to use for MMS for me so far. I did an update and not a restore from beta 4 and didn't lose any settings. I stayed with the first iTunes beta though. Neither of the new iTunes recognize the iPhone in Snow Leopard though.
 
here's the updated ipcc file for those of you on at&t

is that ipcc file working with beta 5? What is your account provisioned for? You have the iPHone data plan w/ standard text msg plan? Or the iPhone txt msg plan?
 
when i unzip the file, it comes up as a .bundle and my itunes wont let me select it to update my iphone. anyone have any idea how to fix it?
 
You don't unzip it. Remove the .zip so it's a .ipcc. Go to get info on a mac and you can change file type there. I forget how on windows but I think you just rename minus the .zip
 
Have had MMS working for a while and also on Beta 5. Aside from the messaging plan and the ipcc file here is the key to make it work.

Contact customer service and (nicely) ask to speak to a level 2 tech support person. Explain that you are part of the dev program and that you need them to perform an OTA update to your phone.

When the support rep is on the line ask them to verify and check the box for enable MMS on your line and then ask them to push an OTA (over the air) update to your phone.

Once you power cycle you should be good to go.

Good luck

What messaging plan are you on? the iPhone txt plan? standard txt? what data plan are you using?
 
itunes will not let me update the carrier file. everytime i get an error. im going to attempt on my PC, but it did the same thing on both my macs. ill let you know how i fair out.

EDIT: My PC will not even recognize my iphone because it's only 8.1.1. Anyone got a solution?
 
You could Jailbreak it with the unofficial jailbreak, then install the carrier file that way.
 
I had to unzip the file to get a legitimate ipcc. Just throwing that out there for some of you.

Uuhhhhh yeah.... It works just fine!! It took me many hours (well maybe 2 1/2 hours) to figure it out. First is you have the newest beta of iTunes then you need to downgrade to the beta 4 version. I use a Mac so it's version 8.2b7 (10), as for Windows users can't help you with the version number. Anyways once you have the older version of the pre-release iTunes, download my customized ipcc file. Make sure to make a backup of the current one, but this file needs to be in the same location as the current one. For Mac users the folder is; Users > (USER NAME) > Library > iTunes > iPhone Carrier Support, again can't help you Windows users, sorry :( In there is a file named ATT_US.ipcc, copy that file and move it else where. Put my customized ipcc file in the folder and close it out. Next open iTunes and click "Check for Update" while holding the option button, I believe it's the Shift key for Windows, but I don't know. Once the update is done, on your iPhone go to Settings > General> Cellular Data Network, and enter under MMS: http://mmsc.cingular.com in the MMSC block and 066.209.011.032:80 in the MMS Proxy block, make sure you don't edit anything else!!! Do a soft restart (hold down the home button and the sleep button until it shuts off). Turn it back on and there you go!!! MMS is enabled, and there is no need to call AT&T to activate anything!!! I have the Family Unlimited Plan, with the iPhone Data Package, there is no need to call AT&T, maybe unless you don't share your minutes. Below are links to my images of what it should look like for some reason I cannot upload images on here :( I use the Internet Tethering so that is why you see the blue bar :D, also the link to the ipcc file is, http://www.sendspace.com/file/89wg7n
