iPhone gets MMS… Are you Ready AT&T?

Sep 25, 2009 1 Comment by Monica Disclosure

Prepare yourself for worse network service than ever before. The latest update for the iPhone (v 3.1) is now available for download in iTunes… It is reported to add the ability to send MMS messages. If you thought your service was shoddy before… It’s only going to get better. worse.

As highly anticipated as this ability has been, AT&T’s networks have been straining under the usage of (over 8 million iPhones on) the iPhone Data services, including internet/apps. There’s even some worry that the rush from users trying to update to 3.1 is going to crash the system as well.

As much as I love Apple, and I love my iPhone, I’m not a huge fan of the AT&T service… especially since the moment I turn into my driveway, I go from 5 bars & 3G to 1 bar or no service… I don’t get it… and apparently the many people from AT&T I’ve spoken to don’t either…

For those of you that are just dying to update, I’d really suggest waiting until the hype is over. The last time I tried to update on the first day of a big release, my phone couldn’t contact the service and was rendered unusable for several hours. I wasn’t happy..

Good luck everyone!!!

Hubby (TechyDad) and I are thinking about changing cell phone carriers. AT&T and our current plan are the thoughts. People around here have said that there have been a lot of problems with AT&T cutting out all over the place. Makes me rethink the idea of changing things up after 10+ years of service. Perhaps we will just up grade our current plan/phones.
