There’s a free app called txtAgif that allows you to easily find animated pictures from a big collection of free pictures on http://www.txtagif.com. Once you choose a picture, you just need to tap a button to start a new MMS and then paste the animated GIF into your MMS. You might find this useful if you like to send funny animations to your friends. Search for “txtagif” in App Store. Have fun!

“take you time?” you’ve got to be kidding me. I know att is not falling all over themselves to ready themselves for 2003 (here in 2009), let alone making sure they have the bandwidth for their 2012 LTE debut. ATT = Epic fail

Frankly, I’m sick of waiting for the same capabilities my daughter’s $80 phone has. I have been an iPhone user since the beginning and am fed up. The only reason I upgraded to 3gs when it came out is because of the promise of MMS and other features. Sounds like it’s time to ditch AT&T and the iPhone and find a company that can deliver what it promises.

when carriers charge as much as they do [without any technical reason] for SMS, which essentially uses only unallocated bandwidth in the phone network, they then should expect to receive precisely zero slack from their customers.

if carriers provided text messaging services to customers at their actual cost [essentially nothing above and beyond the voice plan] then i would understand that they were not trying to create an adversarial relationship with their customers.

but since they have created such an adversarial relationship, and price gouge at every opportunity, i intend to be adversarial right back.

as for "Gregg", he should probably be aware that all the "cheap ass3s" out there pay exactly as much as he does, whatever the up front cost may be, and that if they weren't buying iPhones there wouldn't be as much demand and less of a market for the iPhone apps and iPhone based services that we all enjoy. the more the merrier.

as for AT&T specifically, apple has been "whining" about their lack of capacity almost as obviously as any customer has been, international carriers, particularly the european ones, have been able to manage this functionality just fine and their customers aren't any less active on their phones than americans are.

is it is possible that AT&T isn't a very good carrier? that they don't plan well and put more effort into squeezing immediate profit out of their existing network than really preparing for future demand? is that really so farfetched an assertion than anyone bringing it up is a "whiner"?

Check Freedom Pix on the app store, it does just that, and more. This is Apple major advantage to all of us, it’s not a phone as we knew it but a new paradigm making simple tasks such as sending messages and pictures as simple as it should be rather than only attached to a 2 years plan. You can download Freedom Pix now after you pay 2 bucks and send pix to phones or emails, link that redirect you to the app store is here: http://tinyurl.com/nnmsha

Another worthless thread about MMS complainers. I cant wait until all of the worthless cheap ass3s get off this network. I wish the phone was still $399 then I wouldnt have to listen to garbage about MMS every freakin day. Why are these people the ones spending the money on the best phones trying to please someone with a free phone that cant do email? Furthermore, I cant wait until the iPhone goes to another carrier, like Verizon. Wifi turned off, Bluetooth turned off, GPS, whats that? Visual voicemail? Oh Verizon cant do data and voice simultaneously. “I cant wait till another carrier gets the iPhone, I AM GONE” LMAO! And with Verizons data plans coming out the 9th, $20 a month for 75MB? I use about 500MB a week. Take off to Verizon. I’ll help you pack. People act like AT&T owes you a living. Ive never seen to many dum asses buy a phone where they dont even offer coverage, then complain about it. I’ve seen people order their phone off the Apple site, activate it when it arrives, then complain 2 months later about AT&T sucking because they are on edge with no bars, since the day they turned it on. In Fn Montana. Dont buy the damn phone if its not what works for you. And Phrint all we need is another *** clown filing another erroneous lawsuit. You have MMS its called viewmymessage, Its “multi media messaging” so there is no grounds for a lawsuit.
