AT&T MMS Network Outage Already?
Boy Genius is reporting that AT&T MMS seems to be down for some users in some states, and what’s more:
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 how about it? Are you experiencing any delays in sending or receiving MMS? Any outages? Either way, let us know where you are, and how long you’ve been having the problem.
September 26th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
No issues here however I can’t say that I’m surprised… I’ll stick to e-mail for now
September 26th, 2009 at 3:33 pm
Good in Tampa, Fl
September 26th, 2009 at 3:33 pm
no probs in NW PA…..
September 26th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
No problems sending, but I haven’t been able to receive any from any other carrier. iPhone to iPhone is good, but can’t receive any from my brother’s bberry
September 26th, 2009 at 3:35 pm
We all overloaded the network…… Haahaa
September 26th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
AGAIN…
“Are you experiencing any delays in sending or receiving MMS? Any outages?… let us know where you are, and how long you’ve been having the problem.”
He’s NOT asking to let us know IT IS working withOUT problems.
September 26th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
No problems in South Florida…works fine here
September 26th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
@fastlane….shut your hole!!!
September 26th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
@fastlane….shut your hole!!!
September 26th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
I updated to the new carrier file this morning and I have not yet been able to successfully send or receive MMS…I am in South Jersey.
September 26th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
I take that back. I sent one 15 minutes ago to another iPhone and they haven’t gotten it yet.
Not good in Tampa, Fl
September 26th, 2009 at 3:43 pm

Central new York network is real slow. Mms is going threw…
September 26th, 2009 at 3:48 pm
It’s all good in Phoenix,AZ!!!
September 26th, 2009 at 3:48 pm
it is not working in Atlanta, GA
September 26th, 2009 at 3:49 pm
How ironic. I’m in southern New Hampshire. I got a text message this afternoon from AT&T that MMS is now available for iPhone users (it’s actually been activated for about 4 days for me already).
My son who has Verizon sent me an MMS. I didn’t get it (at least not yet- who knows what the delay is). I sent him one and he got it immediately.
September 26th, 2009 at 3:49 pm
Living on Long Island and just returned from milford connecticut today. MMS has been working great all the way from Connecticut to Long Island.
September 26th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
No problems here. Been using it all day, sending and receiving both on and off network, without a hitch. Heck, I’m probably the reason for the latency!
September 26th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
I was sending some to my family last night while in Miami and it was working fine. There is a slight delay, though, which is to be expected compared to SMS. I sent a 34 second video which took significantly longer (a few minutes at the most).
September 26th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
No problems in southern california .
September 26th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
Still have yet to be able to send or recieve here, north of Philly.
September 26th, 2009 at 3:52 pm
Oklahoma – I can send and receive from non-iPhone friends but cannot send nor receive from iPhone friends.
September 26th, 2009 at 3:57 pm
AT&T is proving again that it is ****.
September 26th, 2009 at 4:02 pm
It’s taking anywhere from 1-5 minutes to send an mms in Michigan. Sometimes it fails to send at all.
September 26th, 2009 at 4:03 pm
If u still can’t send or receive call AT&T. They had to fix something on my account.
September 26th, 2009 at 4:03 pm
@JSuch:
Sorry, I don’t fight with children.
September 26th, 2009 at 4:06 pm
@fastlane
If you were more mature, you wouldnt have commented back. Ohio mms and services have just been sluggish
September 26th, 2009 at 4:07 pm
A friend in Philly (I’m in Maryland) just updated his iPhone and sent me a test MMS no problem. I sent one back no problem. This was no more than 30 minutes ago. Network seems fine to me.
September 26th, 2009 at 4:09 pm
im using a 3g with a 1st gen data plan does anyone know if this is a problem i heard mms is not available for the 1st gen iphone but does that mean the hardware only is incompatible
September 26th, 2009 at 4:10 pm
No problems here… I’m in NYC, just got the update this morning.
September 26th, 2009 at 4:13 pm
Nothing yet, get the red exclamation when sending, received 2 with the old “click here and use log-in and password” to see your MMS. Then I received one that just had the file name. All of these from iPhones. When i tried to send one from my wife’s LG, it took forever to send and I never saw it. Wichita, KS
September 26th, 2009 at 4:13 pm
@bobbyp:
See comment #30 again.
September 26th, 2009 at 4:15 pm
I got the same message repeated 3 times last night.
September 26th, 2009 at 4:15 pm
I have sent to Verizon and received from Verizon customers, no problems at all in Bowie, Maryland.
September 26th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
iPhone to iPhone seems okay (takes up to 10 or 15min+ sometimes) though my g/f hasn’t received a pic from me yet (she’s using a Razr). Another friend who’s on AT&T with a basic Nokia flip never received anything either.
My sister has an iPhone as well and she never received one of my MMS messages last night.
Overall, I would say it’s terrible right now… I’ll give it time. I’m located about an hour north of Philly.
September 26th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
New Orleans, LA and I still haven’t sent a single MMS (updated around 45 minutes after it was released). Help
September 26th, 2009 at 4:20 pm

September 26th, 2009 at 4:27 pm
Northeastern PA. is looking good now.
Tested to Verizon, AT&T non-iPhones and Sprint. Sent video, text and video, voice memos and pictures. All sent and received without significant delay. (under 5 minutes.)
I do have an issue with receiving GIFs…the sound comes as a separate attachment. Is this normal?
September 26th, 2009 at 4:27 pm
in central Florida and can send to anyone fine, but have yet to receive from another carrier..
September 26th, 2009 at 4:27 pm
Att’s mms has always sucked, before my iPhone i had a blackberry that had mysterious “delays” sending MMS no surprise now my iphone is the same. i got a pic which took about 30 mins to receive from another provider .
September 26th, 2009 at 4:27 pm
Both my girlfriend and I have 3GS’s and is has yet to work in Iowa. We were able to update the carrier file just fine but not a single message has gone through yet.
September 26th, 2009 at 4:27 pm
3G jailbroken 3.0.1, 5.0 carrier file, DFW area.
Now sending and receiving almost instantly from all carriers tried.
September 26th, 2009 at 4:31 pm
Should Iphone/Att/Apple compress files before sending mms? Takes 5 minutes or so to send (if not failing] a picture. Some have been received, others lost? Sucks, if not better in a few days, its email for me. Sad excuse for MMS.
September 26th, 2009 at 4:33 pm
A little bit of a delay in Kansas City but it is working
September 26th, 2009 at 4:36 pm
North Carolina Slow Slow Slow, takes forever to send a picture. Is this because i’m on edge, not 3g. Pics taking 30 mins and up to 2 hours. GO ATT !!!!
September 26th, 2009 at 4:37 pm
sent pics to verizon, tmobile,att, boost,sprint ,with no problems, only got one pic sense yesterday(boost mobile)
September 26th, 2009 at 4:38 pm

My sister has the Tour and has been trying to send me pics since yesterday without any luck. Waiting on a MMS message from my sister in law who has an Omnia.

September 26th, 2009 at 8:07 pm

September 26th, 2009 at 8:38 pm
After you update reset you network settings then reset the phone when I did both those after the update, I was able to send mms instantly before the resets I would get the red exclamation.
September 26th, 2009 at 8:40 pm

September 26th, 2009 at 9:14 pm
Ok here in Bellingham/Seattle area
September 26th, 2009 at 9:22 pm
Well in Northern California we are having no luck. We wait how many months and pay overpriced rates and what do they do? The Fuc! it up way to go ATT. Come on, you think they would get it rite the first time. On top of it they want to charge us even more to tether. Let me bend over for you AT&T. Well if AT&T was like Apple they might give people affected by the delays some sort of compensation. Wait it’s AT&T, they are just out to take your money.
September 26th, 2009 at 9:22 pm

September 26th, 2009 at 10:07 pm
Update:
Have been able to receive MMS successfully from Verizon phones (including those who are Blackberry Tour users). Now have to wait and see if video works.
Long Island, NY.
September 26th, 2009 at 10:12 pm
Video works. Yay AT&T. Now they need to be consistent.
September 26th, 2009 at 10:28 pm
Worked great at RDU airport in North Carolina. Also working well here in Los Angeles.
I know a lot of people won’t agree with me, but I just want to say I don’t think AT&T is as bad as people make it out to be. I’ve honestly never had a problem with AT&T, and I’ve been all over the country with them since they were Cingular.
September 26th, 2009 at 10:31 pm
Seems like the majority say no problem i think boy genius is just trying to run up his post count

September 26th, 2009 at 11:29 pm
I am in St Francisville, La. It takes forever to send mms and then the recipient may or may not get it. Not too up on technology:-( If anyone can walk me through something that may help I would be grateful!!!!!
September 26th, 2009 at 11:52 pm
I’ve sent numerous pictures of my genitals to to all my male contacts and no one has said they’ve received them yet so I guess still MMS in Uranus.
September 27th, 2009 at 12:16 am
I actually agree with Fastlane! You were suppose to post if ur mms wasn’t working. By posting bunch of bs posts u r just annoying people. It would be nice if ONLY people who has issues post so we could see if there is a solution for there issue!
September 27th, 2009 at 12:19 am
All good in Jax, Fl I sent a picture if the words “mms biatches” to all of my g1 toting friends who have rubbed it in my face since day one

Working good in northern Minnesota. Have been able to send and recive with no problems.
September 27th, 2009 at 1:08 am
@fastlane Instead of throwing obscenities at you, I’m just going to point out the irony of the excerpt of the post that you quoted earlier.
They asked if people were having problems, which leads to a yes/no response. They didn’t say that only people with MMS problems should post, only you did. Further, they said to let them know “either way.” So you’re wrong on all counts.
September 27th, 2009 at 1:20 am
@ Andrew “delays in sending or receiving MMS? Any outages? Either way, let us know where you are, and how long you’ve been having the problem.” EITHER WAY if YOU HAVE DELAYS OR OUTAGES! How long you’ve been having the PROBLEM*** read and analyze carefully before posting!
September 27th, 2009 at 1:24 am
@fastlane….suck my balls you little girl! Little *****!

September 27th, 2009 at 9:19 am
Works fine n northern jersey
September 27th, 2009 at 9:49 am
Fifteen minutes outside Philly in South Jersey and it’s never worked. All I get is red ! repeatedly. I called AT&T and they fooled around for 40 minutes before telling me it was a network outage and was going to take a few days. I will continue to investigate as my brother and SIL live ten minutes away and their MMS works fine. This random outage thing is ridiculous.
September 27th, 2009 at 9:52 am
With all of the b$&@hing going on…………guess no one could help me!!! Made me laugh though!!!
September 27th, 2009 at 10:01 am
I’m rockin the red exclamation mark in Atlanta, GA as well. Have not been able to successfully send an MMS yet.

What happened to all the ” I don’t need MMS we got email” bunch of whiney little b!tches
September 27th, 2009 at 11:13 am
For everyone experiencing red ! When trying to send mms. Try resetting your network settings. Go into settings>general>network>reset network settings. I did that and it’s worked for me since.
September 27th, 2009 at 11:13 am
yesterday I was having problems sending but receiving was fine, Detroit, Mi.
September 27th, 2009 at 11:28 am
when i first tried it on friday it took 6 or 7 tries to get the first pic to send. since then, no problems. receiving mms was never a problem. got one from a friends t-mo blackberry within seconds of it being sent.
September 27th, 2009 at 11:32 am

September 27th, 2009 at 1:16 pm
No problems in NH, still haven’t tried receiving from another phone or carrier, but iPhone to iPhone is working pretty good lol
September 27th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
I can’t even get mms here in Michigan because they didn’t release it here until the 26th so I have to wait till tommarow to get it as I have no pc right now. I tried to get it on the 25th and AT&T tolde it was a problem with my phone but then I got a text Saturday telling me that it was just now avalible
September 27th, 2009 at 4:00 pm
I finally got it to work! I called AT&T twice to get it resolved. For those who still are having problems, call AT&T, ask for Tech Support and have them look at your provider and network settings. The woman who helped me made some adjustments, had me reset ny iPhone network settings and now it’s working beautifully.
September 27th, 2009 at 4:09 pm
I got the message and tried to update and I got nothing. This blows.
September 27th, 2009 at 4:30 pm
@Brandi i think u shud turn 3g on bcuz im in NC and i send em in like 20 seconds but im in raleigh so who knows.. Wat part r u in?
September 27th, 2009 at 4:33 pm
Ok so just spoke to At&t about not being able to send or recieve mms from phones other than the iphone and they said and i quote
“Sir at the moment we are aware of this issue and we are working towards a resolution. We do not have an exact date as to when it will be resolved but when it is you will recieve a text message” -Destiny “At&t” I guess they figured that if they allow us to be able to send from iphone to iphone it will buy them some time to get their s**t together.
September 27th, 2009 at 5:11 pm
I’m in Dallas Tx and I can’t send or receive any MMS

Successfully sent from iPhone to iPhone, but all attempts to send to phones on Verizon (LG Dare, Motorola V9M) all fail. Texts send and receive fine, just MMS not getting there.

i was on the phone with att on 9-27-09 for 40 mins and they kept acting like it was some thing on my part then she told me oh its a known issue and all iphone are not able to send or receive and there is no time line to when it will work
September 28th, 2009 at 12:46 pm
MMS takes a long time to send (2-5 minutes) and fails about 50% of the time. I know I also didn’t receive one from a colleague, but when he resent it, it appeared in moments.
September 28th, 2009 at 12:53 pm
No luck at all here in Reno, NV. Cant send or receive MMS it just times out. My friends are hit or miss with theirs here in town.
September 28th, 2009 at 12:53 pm
Hey, Idaho iPhone user here, and I can only send an MMS in 1 out of 3 attempts (if at all). Furthermore, if I do get a message out, it takes at least a minute to actually send. Lame.
September 28th, 2009 at 1:00 pm
In California and I can send MMS to myself but cannot receive nor send MMS to anyone else.
September 28th, 2009 at 1:24 pm

AT&T SUCKS! POS NETWORK! In New Orleans, LA and no dice. I can send MMS and most people receive them; however, I cannot receive from anyone. Yet a buddy of mine can do it just fine. AT&T…Raising the bar…up my a**!
October 1st, 2009 at 12:56 am
for some reason nothing will work on my iphone as long as 3G is turned on. messages of any kind mms or not will not send and i can not send or receive calls. also i get the cannot activate cellular data message when trying to turn on 3g connection. anyone else having simular problems?
October 1st, 2009 at 3:06 pm
No MMS over 3G network here. I discovered by accident that my MMS does work over Edge network, but not on 3G network. I was out in the boonies yesterday and just for grins, I tried to send an MMS to my daughter who has AT&T Iphone and only lives 5 miles away. While in the boonies, I noticed that Edge was my only connection and to my surprise, the message went through and she got it on the 3G network in my local area. To verify this, as I got closer to home, and I started getting 3G service, I tried to send again, and no luck. So I forced Edge service by turning 3G off in the settings and I was again able to send. I’ve been to the Apple store and showed them the problem and of course, the “Genius” I was assigned never owned an Iphone and could only offer to replace my phone at $200 since I’m out of warranty or continue to deal with AT&T’s Tech Support . I;ve searched the net for anyone complaining of a similar problem, but have been unsuccessful, so I’m starting to think this is a hardware problem. My last resort is to call AT&T again from another phone so they can try to trouble shoot while I’m on the phone. This has been a slight issue since I don’t have a land line at home and to timing between when my wife and I are home at the same time. AT&T has been documenting my issue but they really need for me to call from another line. All hardware issues fall on Apple and since I didn’t shell out $70 for Apple Care, it may cost me more to get MMS, something I’m not so sure is worth it since I’ve gotten along just fine without it for over a year. Anyone still having MMS issues, try to send over edge only by forcing 3G off in the settings. I’d be curious to know if others have this issue. Did I mention that I restored to “New Iphone” and updated to 3.1 and IPCC 5.5 and without any other apps installed, MMS Still didn’t work over 3G network? 3G in my area has been great for data and voice so I know this isn’t the problem and I suspect hardware.

I can send and recieve with other iPhones fine, however, if anyone with a different kind of phone or carrier tries to send I don’t get anything. I live in northeastern pennsylvania. This has actually caused me grief now one of those cell phone moments were it is something important and you don’t respond so your an *****. I hate AT&T sometimes.
October 6th, 2009 at 12:20 am
Live in Oahu Hawaii. Haven’t got a single pic from anyone. Have yet to try the other iPhone friends though. Still BS.
October 6th, 2009 at 7:07 pm
Well.. Mine works with every network except Verizon, which is what most of my friends have. I’ll send a picture to a verizon phone and they don’t get it… But I’ll send one to anyone else they get it instantly. So annoying; I thought I’d finally get to send friggin pictures.
October 6th, 2009 at 8:56 pm
Can send but can’t receive from any carrier other than at&t
October 8th, 2009 at 5:48 pm
I receive a red exclamation on my iPhone when sending MMS. It worked briefly a couple days ago, but consistently fails now with the red exclamation. I live in Claremont, CA.
October 9th, 2009 at 1:03 am
I can’t seem to send or recieve MMS from Verizon customers. WTF!?
October 12th, 2009 at 11:24 pm
When MMS became available for AT&T it worked perfectly. Now like 2 or 3 weeks later I can no longer recieve MMS messages especially from Verizon customers. This is BS! I live in Chicago. THey better fix this ****!
October 13th, 2009 at 10:03 am

My brother sent me three MMS’es at about noon today. Its 10:45PM and I haven’t received a single one. Milwaukee, WI is down.
October 20th, 2009 at 7:51 am
It works here in Wilmington, DE. but it is a little slow on the sending. Since the launch, though, there has been improvement. Initially it was slower sending and even slower to nonexistent on recieving, especially from non-AT&T and non-iPhone users.
October 20th, 2009 at 4:33 pm
Kind of working here in WI. I can send MMS, but not recieve any yet…I have all the updates….I did recieve one MMS this week. All others will not go through–comming from US Cellular users…..

Dammit! MMS went out last night on Halloween. I’m in suburb of Chicago. Hope they resolve soon… I’m an MMS addict now
November 1st, 2009 at 12:20 pm
Well, I think mines been acting pretty ****** for a while now, especially noticeable when sending to my friend that has Verizon, I was sent a pic from them yesterday at 3pm and I did not receive it until 8am today.. That is ridiculous.. I have had problems with them not getting mine at all or in a reasonable amount of time as well but not as bad as it has been for me to receive one.. We waited forever to get MMS cause of this network updating and now its ****..
November 5th, 2009 at 12:44 pm
I live in St Pete, FL and spend a lot of time in Wisconsin…but no matter where I am, I cannot send or receive mms msgs to Verizon Wireless phones!!! Works fine with T-mobile. Most my friends and all my family have Verizon and this issue is really annoying me!!!! Any news on how to resolve this issue? Thanks.
November 11th, 2009 at 6:36 pm
Yeah I had it for about a month. I left on vacation for a week and when I Came back i couldn’t send one. I don’t live in a 3g zone does that have anything to do with it? I live in northern kentucky. there are multiple cities in my area with 3g tho. It it hopeless until my city gets 3g?
November 15th, 2009 at 12:19 am
no service in Lake Placid, NY all day!
November 16th, 2009 at 5:03 pm
I am in Michigan. i just started having issues sending mms videos and receiving mms videos from verizon people. This has happened ever since I was in Chicago and cant fix it. When I get a video it says one or more of message componets have been deleted by mm adaptation. Either the message was too large or the components were unsuitable for your terminal. I have tried everything to fix this. Has this happened to anyone before and do u know how to fix it? It is just with mms videos!Thanks,Kim
December 28th, 2009 at 8:41 pm
