At 1:00pm EST Apple and AT&T released the carrier software necessary for all AT&T iPhones to finally send and receive MMS messages.  I just updated my iPhone, rebooted and sent my first iPhone MMS photo.  It was a photo of me to my brother.  Rather uneventful but It looks like it worked!

To update make sure your iPhone is plugged into your computer then go to:

iTunes / your iPhone.
Click the ‘Check for Update’ button.
Let it download for about two second and sync to your phone.
Be sure to power off your iPhone by holding down the top button.  Then turn it back on the same way.

When you go into Messages and either create a new message or click on an existing conversation you will see a camera on the bottom left.  Click that and enjoy!  I am sure many will be upgrading their text messaging plans to unlimited soon.

Let’s see how long it will take to stress AT&T’s network.
