If you have managed to download the latest iPhone 3.0 update then you may have tried the new MMS feature in the new software, and most likely failed.
The iPhone 3.0 MMS is not working on the device we tried in the UK with O2, and this is strange considering that rumor had it that O2 would be ready on day one for MMS.
Have you had iPhone 3.0 problems with MMS? AT&T has released some details about the MMS support they will provide, and you can read the pricing in detail on The Register.
From what we have read it seems that AT&T will offer it’s customers MMS at “no extra cost” with a text messaging bundle and should be coming in late summer. Hit the link above to read the full details.

Same here. It isn’t working for me with o2 in the UK. I text MMS to 1010 as it states on the O2 website. After this you are supposed to get a MMS sent back to you. Still nothing and it’s still not working.
boooh!
same problem here sent MMS to 1010 at like 7pm and tried about 5 times and nothing
if u find out why could u tell me plz
Just tried it and it worked for me…you don’t need to do the text to 1010 if you have the iPhone 3G though…that’s just for the first one O2 had the first time around
Ive got the same problem here…. Sent ‘MMS’ to 1010 several times…Had one (sort of) response which basically brought up a blank white screen for a while. After nothing happened for several minutes I closed the screen but still cant get MMS working… Happy days.
Same here too, and everytime i try to use the App store i agree to the new tersms and i get a “session Timed out” meassage wtf is going on lol!
I’ve got a very similar problem. I’ve installed the update and sent the message as well. Recieved a reply saying it should be active, but then when I tried to send an mms, it won’t send….any solutions??
Same here in South Africa. Major let down.
Similar problem here. Can send a picture message to others but when sent one just get a link to view it on o2 website.
3G model - I can send MMS but still get a text message and link to pick up any I receive…. is this the way it’s going to be or will it be resolved in the next day or 2?
I have spoken to a contact of mine at O2 this morning. The MMS fault is an Apple problem and not a network problem. That is why most people (me included) got the “Your MMS is up and running” message from O2 immediately after upgrading to 3.0 and it probably worked once or twice. This is a provisioning issue to be resolved by Apple and will most likely require you to re-install 3.0 when they find a fix.
DO NOT KEEP TRYING THOUGH BECAUSE THE NETWORK THINKS YOU ARE SUCCESSFULLY SENDING MESSAGES AND WILL DEDUCT FROM YOUR ALLOWANCE. ALSO, SENDING MMS TO 1010 WILL MAKE NO DIFFERENCE AT THE MOMENT IM AFRAID. WAIT 24 HOURS AND PLUG IN TO ITUNES TO SEE IF IT OFFERS YOU AN UPDATE.
Hope this helps.
I sent one after upgrading and it worked. I then got a message at 6am from O2 saying mms was not set up and they will contact me when it is ready. Very poor…
Cheers Jeremy
Good piece of info
dont forget your settings have been reset for 3g. where it says idata, you need to replace with payandgo.o2.co.uk.
