MMS Coming soon from AT&T?

Ok I know that ppl say don't trust the Sales Reps at AT&T stores, but the other day I went in there with my Fiance to get her a phone. I started chatting with the Lady who sold my Iphone back in Sept, And I asked her when Is the mms going to be enabled on the iphones from AT&T? She said that they got a memo saying that there will be an Itunes update in July, This was on June 24th or 25. Then I see that on the 30st Apple releases the 3.1 beta with mms enabled in the beta. And it gets me thinking.....Was a rep right for once? When she told me that I was thinking Yea right what ever,yall are never right...... But it seems to make sense..... test the beta work out the bugs release mid to end of july, which is technically summer in AT&T's eyes, and they said out in summer?

Sorry for the ramble, but I had been thinking about that for a few days, what do yall think?

I think you're just as excited about it as everyone else, I am enthused by your glimmer of hope. It would be great if they gave it to us sooner than later, but who knows?

no not excited, just think for once they were actually right..... It just makes sense, why would Apple release another update, after 3.0 so soon, that did not have mms on it now they have it on the 3.1?????

Oh, well I'm excited, makes sense to me, I'm hoping it happens

It makes sense, especially if they have the camera icon in the messages app. There would be so many people trying to use it and if they couldnt send a mms message ATT and Apple would be getting so many calls and we would get flooded with threads.

Didn't Apple say at the June conference that AT&T should have it available by the end of July?...or was it the end of summer?

It was the end of summer that they said. But there have been alot of rumors saying end of July, and yes I think that if apple sent out an update that included all neccesary icons for mms, then AT&T will be ready at that time too. I'm sure AT&T knows when it's gonna happen, as does apple. They are just keeping it quiet incase of any "problems" they might run into along they way that could delay the target date.

I figured they (AT&T) would just release an updated carrier file once MMS was active/capable on the AT&T servers...to prevent the customer service calls asking why their MMS isn't working. -lol

I figured it was just going to be a carrier update too, but it makes sense that apple might have to do something on their end to provide the icons in the messages app for mms. But I could be wrong.

Called AT&T to change up my plan a bit, and asked her about MMS, and she said sometime in July. She didn't know much more than me.
