AT&T testing iPhone MMS in Washington (Updated 4x)
While on vacation last week I received an MMS on my iPhone (running OS 3.1 build 7C116a) while passing through Forks, Washington. I received the message from a user on Verizon Wireless on the east coast.
Normally this would be a non-story, except for the fact that iPhones in the U.S. don’t support MMS because AT&T hasn’t enabled it yet.
Daring Fireball’s Jon Gruber tweeted that two DF readers in Seattle are saying iPhone MMS support is working.
Update: AT&T Mobility’s Executive Director Media Relations responds “We have not yet offered MMS on the iPhone. We plan to do so in late summer.” (corrected at the request of AT&T). Clearly some MMS testing was taking place in Washington over the last week or so.
Have you been able to send or received MMS’ with your iPhone? We’d love to hear all the gory details in the comments…
