The Ashes

When Apple launched the iPhone 3GS and the iPhone OS 3.0 it said that the MMS option will be available later this summer in the US. In other parts of the world MMS works just fine, while in the US the situation is different. Steve Jobs announced that MMS is coming on September 25 and the delay was caused by the MMS opt-out codes that AT&T attached to all iPhone accounts. The problem is that AT&T has to remove these codes manually for apparently no reasons, but the results can be seen already.

Many iPhone users report that MMS is working fine on their devices meaning that AT&T is working hard to fully deliver the option on September 25. AT&T probably wants to test how the MMS functionality will work on the iPhones and what impact it will have on the network as users complained thousands of times that they cannot see or send MMS. Now that they have it, they’ll probably send millions of MMS in order to recover the lost time.
