they dont allow tethering because the iphone doesn’t compress data like crapberry’s do. They have enough trouble keeping data to the iphones already, the last thing they want is a computer hogging all the data too!

AT&T is abusive of the iPhone customer. Blackberry devices have tethering, and can stream video via Sling Player over 3G. Send these jokers a complaint. See http://www.lionfishpictures.com/2009/11/i-have-had-it-with-at.html for a very well written complaint letter. Feel free to copy it and send it to them.

I have that problem with 5.6. I didn’t have 5.5 so this was my first MMS update.

Hi i am experiencing the same problem unable to send/receive mms. Everything was working fine after the release of 5.5 however last night it stopped working. I then tried updating to 5.6 however still no luck. Called Apple support and ATT went through the usual. reset network, switch to edge, even some 5005.... nothing. I tried the sim card in my n97 and was able to send and receive mms on that phone. Can anyone tell me what I can try?? thank you

If you are having issues with MMS on the Iphone contact AT&T and tell then to update your inei in both of their systems. That should fix the issue. Also go into Settings>General>Profile>and remove the profiles.

John says, "Resetting my Network settings to default fixed it immediately though, before the update was released."

Just wanted to confirm this. I am using 5.5 settings on a jailbroken and unlocked phone w/ 3.1.2 fw. I am using BossPrefs to block Edge/3g, so after resetting the network settings I went back to BossPrefs and turned off Edge/3G. MMS still works, even w/ these turned off.

Also, just as a word of advise, when you say things like "I’m still using 5.0 settings." follow that up with "...and it works for me" or "...and nothing works". I dont care what version you're running if i dont know what you can/can't do.

I’m on 5.5; haven’t had this issue since MMS was officially “turned on” on AT&T’s end. Oh, and I do have tethering with 5.5.
