Ok heres how you fix your voice mail-
1. Connect the phone to itunes and option click restore
2. Navigate to your user name->Library->iTunes->iPhone Carrier Support
3. Select the file contained within "iPhone Carrier Support" and proceed
You now have your voicemail working again
you are done, restart and enjoy tethering and looking at a nonfunctional MMS app... lol!
Has anyone have problems with receiving calls using the method I used back on page 10?
I fixed the visual voice mail thing, but it seems like the iPhone is picky on which calls it chooses to receive. And I was stupid enough to let it backup with this setting so a restore from backup didn't work. I really don't want to do it as a new phone as I have texts I do not want to lose......
EDIT: Reinstalling the IPCC file that the above poster recommended seemed to have fixed my problem.

I think the MMS info on the benm.at is wrong cause nobody not even I can get MMS working...
Is there a Windblows equivalent of Terminal? I would like to try the 9to5 dealio. I already have the ipcc.
CANNOT SELECT .ipcc file!!
When I option click 'Restore' the ATT_US.ipcc file is grayed out and I cannot select it.
Any ideas?
Nevermind - got it working...

"There are some problems with AT&T. Based on technical problems in the AT&T network (official no MMS Support yet) there can be no MMS Settings shown up in the iPhone Settings.
Im getting dozens of Feedback mails every minute. Ever mail will be read! More providers coming soon!"
maybe he's working on something... one can only hope!

I'm fooling around with it on windows, don't feel like getting the hackentosh up and running.
As far as MMS is going for everyone the only one's who I have seen that have it working DO NOT have an MMS Opt out code on their AT&T bills. This code should block any attempt to send or receive MMS messages. I awould assume that this is how they know to redirect these messages to the view my messages website.

What file are you trying to open? The IPCC one? Not sure if that will work for windows. In windows you can select a file if you SHIFT click restore, but it ask for a IPSW file.
Use this method:

Having a Mac should not be required to enable tethering.
Do you people just read the last post in a thread and just start asking questions?
It's not. To enable tethering you just have to follow the first post in this thread. That doesn't not give you MMS tho. That's the thing most people in this thread are looking for.
The first post in the thread now points to an invalid mobileconfig file unless he's fixed it since this afternoon. I had posted a fixed version since it was unavailable as of an hour ago.
In response to my problem, it appears that the network diagnostic tool is failing under the "ISP" section. By all accounts, it seems as though I should be able to browse the Internet on my computer, but for some reason, it isn't working.
Frustrating. Maybe it's something on AT&T's side?
