AT&T MMS outage?

att-iphone-mms

Oh yeah. You read that correctly. We’ve received a couple tips about MMS possibly being down completely for some AT&T subscribers and a quick call to AT&T’s customer care line revealed that there is a known latency issue with MMS in all states with no estimated time of repair.

So we ask you, dear readers: is your MMS feature working on your iPhones?

    you people says:

    People piss me off.. so much. No matter what carrier you have, you will all whine. Constantly. Bunch of crybabies. My iphone has never dropped a call, never had an issue with it in any way shape or form. Nor have any of my colleagues. Yes issues will arise. Its technology. I have a macbook, windows pc and linux. Guess what. THEY ALL BREAK. Find me a carrier or a phone that never has issues and ill show you a liar.

    @ Resi /

    Nice comeback BTW.

    I figured you were around that age. You make comments like you don’t have any experience; almost like talking out of your ass?

    yeah those kiosk boys and girls are all over this blogsite… they give us real att employees a bad name…

    they lie to customers and are often rude to them. you can tell just the way they insult people here.

    sorry to all the real folks who are having real network related problems. hopefully att will stop talking the talk and start walking the walk in terms of network capacity enhancements. believe me its not easy taking calls full of customer complaints all day. it gets draining after a while.

    Not working here in mn for me? Supposedly sends but nobody can receive mms from my phone. Also takes a hell of a Long time for it to send, hangs at the end for about 10 seconds. One of these days I am sure it will work, I hope.

    Still getting the red exclamation point when trying to send MMS

    I did the update through iTunes and rebooted. It worked at first, but then stopped working last night. Still doesn’t work this AM.

    Customer service are idiots! They say I must have damaged my iPhone or something and that nobody else has reported problems other than me. I don’t buy that BS.

    What does the red exclamation point mean?

    I have had zero luck with several MMS efforts from my 3GS to my wife’s phone (3G). Made sure I rebooted both phones first too. No luck with photo, video or contacts being sent. This is not a flame, just an anecdotal report from Northern VA.

    This is probably only temporary, nothing more than at&t’s already underpowered 3g network buckling under the pressure of millions of iphone users spiking the mms queue.

    Everyone saw this happening, its like when 20 iphones users get in a circle and start browsing… entire states will start having outages

    @Hector,
    It means send failure. Apple and ATT have suggested that users reset their network settings on their iPhones and rebooting it. It doesn’t hurt to try :)

    FYI people, sending an MMS is supposed to make the status bar “hang” for about 10 seconds as a 2-megapixel picture uses more KB than a simple text message. Every phone on every carrier does the same thing.

    Why do people really think mms is going to cripple Any carriers network? People have been sending pics on almost every other phone since mms came out…it’s not like people are saying “oh mms is available let me send every pic I have in my phone to everybody in the world …it’s not that much data were talking a few kb here

    When on the phone with an AT&T rep he was telling me services were up and down in the area (southeast) and it was due to iPhone MMS. Give it time.
