    so if u already have 3.1, its just a harmless carrier update similar to the tethering hack, right?



    my wife's 3G gets screwed up (basically bricked for days) every time we do an OS update, but it's currently at 3.1

    Carrier update is what you get new today. Takes literally less than a minute.

    It DOES NOT require iPhone OS 3.1.



    All you need is the hacked carrier data file you're likely already using for tethering. If you've not hacked it for MMS as well, go ahead and do that now.



    And avoid 3.1 until there's a jailbreak strategy for tethering.

    I canceled my text plan and started using Beejive some time ago. How much does this matter at this point?



    I suspect there will be no problems with the network because people with an iPhone have access to much better solutions and will not pay AT&T for what we have been doing for free.

    Oh and I guess you need to be running OS 3.1 according to a post above.



    They CANT"T or they WONT'T! I just ran into the store across the street and they told me they don't have they latest iTunes and cannot. That they can only sell me a new phone with the settings! They tried to tell me this was an Apple update and I told them no this was their own carrier update. OMG- no wonder AT&T has such low customer ratings!

    My brother just got the carrier update and MMS on his 3G, and he's running 3.0.

    I updated both mine and my wifes iPhone and received the camera icon, etc. I sent my wife's iPhone a text plus photo and her phone received " I sent you a multimedia message. You can view my message w/in the next 7 days via the web at www.viewmymessage.com/1 using MSG ID ********* Password ********."



    So is this how we are going to receive photo's or videos on each other's iPhones? That sucks

    You must not be paying for the messaging plan.

    My wife's phone has the original 200 messages included in her plan and I pay 5$ for my 200 messages, so I think we have the message plan. What gives?

    Did you reboot both phones?

    Yes and the camera icons are present. Now I am trying to send a photo from her phone to mine but am getting the try again exclamation point. ATT must be really bogged down at the moment. So still don't know why the original message when I sent a photo from my phone to hers...any thoughts?

    Did 3.1 break tethering? I upgraded to 3.1 and my tethering still works fine. Does anyone know if the MMS updated breaks the tethering?

    No offense to those who have been waiting breathlessly for MMS, but...

    Whoop-de-f-ing DOO.



    I'm struggling to grasp the earth-shattering need to watch the latest 'hey dig me now!' photo come in in real time, but to each his own. Hardly worth the churn its generated tho'.

    If she has 200 messages included with her plan, does she have an original iPhone? The MMS functionality only works on the 3G and 3GS...

    You know that same exact thing happened to me about a week ago, but only that one time and not since.

    Very weird right? Like the kind of thing you would expect in some kind of state of emergency .

    In typical Apple fashion it just works and it works well. It blends right into the existing sms function. This is much better than emailing mm files.
