AT&T memo reveals forthcoming iPhone 3G MMS support?
Posted 25 June 2008 @ 10am in News
AT&T’s customer service representatives certainly aren’t known for delivering accurate information about soon-to-be-released products. As such, the following should be taken with a grain of salt: we’ve received corroborated word that an AT&T employee memo lists MMS (multimedia messaging service) support — allowing transmission of text, pictures, and potentially video to other MMS-enabled phones — as a feature of the iPhone 3G.
Perhaps intriguingly, AT&T has yet to reveal any text message-inclusive data plans for the iPhone 3G. The original iPhone’s data plan included 200 text messages by default, with more or unlimited messages available at higher costs. Could the omission mean a revamped, MMS-included scheme is in the works?

You don’t get it. Why would they “reveal any text message-inclusive data plan” for the iPhone? AT&T is treating the iPhone 3G just like any other phone, so iPhone users will have access to the exact same assortment of plans that you can access with any other phone.
The original iPhone deal with Apple revenue sharing required a specific iPhone data plan, and that got everyone’s expectations confused. Now things are back to normal and iPhone customers can choose from the same messaging options as everyone else.

So far none of the other countries have mentioned anything about MMS for the iPhone in their plans. I’m expecting the same old crappy desktop only interface for viewing MMS messages.
