In just 4 more days AT&T will issue a software update which will allow iPhone 3G/3GS users to use MMS for free. AT&T originally planned on enabling MMS for iPhone users earlier, but they had to delay it because they wanted to make sure their network would be able to handle all the MMS traffic. In this post I will show you how you can enable MMS on your iPhone 3G/3GS on iPhone 3.1 firmware right now. All credit goes to Aaron Krill for this.
Note: I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device as a result of following this tutorial. Performing this hack may void your iPhone’s warranty. If this does not work then just wait until September 25, AT&T will issue a free update that allows you to enable it. If you get a red exclamation mark after following this tutorial, then that means you’ll just need to wait for AT&T to officially release MMS.
Enable MMS on AT&T iPhone 3G/3GS using Mac
1. If you have iTunes open, then right-click and click Quit to close iTunes.
2. Go to Applications -> Utilities and open the Terminal application.
3. Copy and paste the following command in to Terminal: defaults write com.apple.iTunes carrier-testing -bool TRUE
4. Press Return on your keyboard.
5. Download IPCC file (right click this link and save it as ATT_US.ipcc).
6. Connect your iPhone 3G/iPhone 3GS to your computer and open iTunes.
7. Press Option on your keyboard and at the same time click on Update in the iTunes window.
8. Locate your ATT_US.ipcc file you downloaded in step 5 and click Choose.
9. Time to reboot your iPhone. Hold down the top button of your iPhone until the “slide to turn off” message appears, slide and turn your iPhone off. Turn your iPhone on again and it should have MMS on it!

It did kill my visual voicemail, but you can do this to fix it really quick.
Just go to Settings->General-Network->Cellular Data Network.
Then change the APN under Visual Voicemail to acds.voicemail
It works on iPhone 3.0.1
= )
So you can still tether if you want to
So i have used the APP called “MMS” as well and it was quite nice. I am wondering though about this tutorial or guide……where can i find it? thanks
for iPhone users to add MMS functionality. Many of our readers have been lucky enough to already enable MMS on AT&T iPhone 3G/3GS 3.1 using a guide I posted a couple of days [...]
Hey ppl it does work on 3.0.1 as well. For those who are wondering if it would affect your jailbreak, it won’t affect it. It is only a carrier update if u use this tutorial so it will not change anything on the baseband of the iPhone, thus leaving the jailbreak unafected.
For those who’s mms message loads about 90% and stops go to settings-messaging-and turn the mms off. Respring your iPhone and then go back and turn it back on, it should work.
Ok, my itunes if on my F:\ drive but command prompt will not let me switch the directory to that drive… I am sure i am missing something simple but “cd F:\Program Files\iTunes” is not doing anything for me.
I updated to 3.1 and now I can’t get a phone call to last more than a few seconds. I have restored several times. This is my first problem update since getting the 3g right when it came out.
it dint work for me i have 3.1 i jail broke n unlocked mine .. but dint work =/
if i am using jailbreak 3.1 should i use the itunes to install the mms or use windows.
