I am in Ahamra and still do not have the update. I do not mind because i understand technology. it does show that just cause some one 3 miles max away has it doesn't mean I will have it!
It will come when it comes. I just love discussion boards! I love computers.
Agreed! Both parties are responsible for this WHOLE MMS MESS! If i am rude to one of my customers, two things happen. The customer will not come back for my services and they may not return to the store I work for. Two parties loose out, specially if this customer writes corporate.
In my opinion, Apple and ATT are both responsible. It comes when it does!
How do you see it as Apple letting customers down too? On the day of the iPhone OS 3.0 release every other country on every other carrier got MMS. The only difference between them and us is ... AT&T. Actually, even those countries that have T-Mobile as their official carrier got MMS on launch day. Why would Apple hold onto it if AT&T said it's okay to release it? That makes no sense. Apple is holding it until a specific time AT&T has designated.
Anyone else not receiving texts right now? I'm wondering if it's because either a) The texting system is down due to the MMS change being implemented, or b) some people are already getting texting and the system is BUSY. Thoughts?
I am PRETTY sure you are required to update your iPhone to 3.1 AND iTuned to V9 if you want this to work for you. The only reason you don't want to update to 3.1 is because you are a jailbreaker in wich case you already have a ton of other "jailbreak" options to choose from

Actually, i'm not JB, I don't want 3.1 so that I can keep my Benm tethering hack intact.
I'd like to hear from people who have the same dilemma, if they are able to go to itunes and install the carrier file only, or if it's bundled in with the 3.1 update, thanks.

a lot of people don't want to upgrade from 3.0 to 3.1 because it breaks tethering on non-jailbroken phones.
i didnt get a text message. but i was able to upgrade to carrier 5.5.
im in miami Florida.
had to restart phone in order to get mms.
