AT&T MMS Now Live
Go Go Go, Connect your iphone to itunes and update your carrier settings. Finally you can enjoy mms on the iphone after years of waiting. The new carrier update is 5.5
Note: I just realized you have to be on firmware 3.1 to get the update. If you don’t see the update to carrier settings, click on check for updates in itunes and it will ask you to update your carrier settings. Now for everyone that is staying on firmware 3.0.1 I believe I have a workaround to this.
- Download the newly released ipcc file HERE or HERE
Below are tutorials on how to update your carrier settings manually, these tutorials are for people who want to stay on firmware 3.0 and don’t want to be forced to update to a new buggy firmware to have mms working. You have to be using itunes 8.2 for this to work or on the other hand you can try this with itunes 9.

You can try to update it officially without doing the steps above and it should work

Or instead of just updating the whole ipcc file you can just go to http://help.benm.at/help.php and install the mms tethering settings from there.. reset your network settings and try to send an mms

im on a jailbroken Iphone 3G with firmware 3.0.1 useing itune 9. and this worked for me.
Used the file from here and sent a mms and it worked.

Glad to see that this is working for you eric… If anyone else has problems comment and ill help
September 26th, 2009 at 2:29 am
Will this work for 2G?
September 26th, 2009 at 2:42 am
Maybe its noteworthy to say that a reboot is helpful right after u get the .ipcc file in there.

Hey, Thanks for the work around. Also, thanks for stating the version of the new carrier update, I was having a hard time finding that information. Works great here. Iphone 3g 3.0.1 Itunes 9.
September 26th, 2009 at 5:20 am
I don’t know about anyone else… but this enabled the actual mms options within messages… However my phone just gets stuck at sending and eventually fails
Iphone 3gs
Itunes 9.0

do you need to have an MMS PLAN FROM AT&T TO SEND AND RECEIVE MMS TO OUR IPHONE?
September 26th, 2009 at 6:06 am
When i try to input the command i get not recognized as internal or external command, operable program or batch file
September 26th, 2009 at 6:08 am
or the filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect
September 26th, 2009 at 7:18 am
Dumb question: After I download the new IPCC file onto my Windows computer, how do I get it into my iPhone?
(3g, 3.0.1, jailbroken, not unlocked)
September 26th, 2009 at 7:20 am
It’s odd at first I could send, but not receive. Now I can receive but not send !!!!! Anyways I seemed to have fixed it now BUT I can only MMS people with an iPhone. WTF

This is what i get when i try to input the command
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
C:\Documents and Settings\HOAG>cd c:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe /setPrefInt
carrier-testing 1
The system cannot find the path specified.
C:\Documents and Settings\HOAG>cd c:\Program Files\iTunes\
C:\Program Files\iTunes>iTunes.exe /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1
‘iTunes.exe’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
any ideas what im doing wrong?

Does this work for 2G?

TO all that can’t get the command to work in Terminal try this: I still can’t get the camera to show but at least i am one step closer.
well, i finally got the command to go through ( TO any with this problem) either reinstall or upgrade iTunes to 9.0.1 and make sure it gets installed to C: Program files\itunes, the default folder. Then make sure your directory in terminal is C: only (mine had C:\documents and settings\username (which is the default for my computer), so i changed it by inputting the command cd c:\ and that changed it to C:\>. Now still cutting and pasting the whole command all at once did not work, so i only typed in (as nightcrawler suggests: BIG THANKS NIGHTCRAWLER: cd C:\Program Files\iTunes\ hit enter and then type in— iTunes.exe /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1. It should do nothing but when i went to itunes it let me choose ipcc file so i am past this step.
