MMS and IM available on I-Day!

[bllzll]

some already posted the att/Apple training guide..

http://www.boygeniusreport.com/Documents/iPhonedoc.pdf

if you read through it, on say, the top of page 6, look what it says...

"MediaNet will be used to access the internet. MMS and IM messages are included in the customer's iPhone data plan"


hmmm, i bet once you plug in and sync for the first time. MMS, iChat, and video recording.. maybe some wishful thinking, but i have my fingers crossed!

What do you all think is the Shure Stereo headset? Perhaps a bluetooth headphones?

what does that have to do with mms or ichat?

Nothing, but it was noted on the link posted at BoyGenius that served as the basis for the thread.

they put that in there for a reason, it was no mistake. i hope that its available tomorrow from a software update (which to me would make the phone 99% perfect) but if it isn't tomorrow, i would almost guarantee in a few weeks. they have that in there, so when people get their ichat and MMS and ask about how they are being billed for it, att will already know the answer since its included in your unlimited data.

Guys...

See the full version of manual..

On page #30,
If a customer decides to insert their iPhone SIM card into another AT&T device they will have the following experience:

• Visual Voicemail will not be available, however regular voicemail will be accseeible by pressing "1" to hear messages.

On page #31

• MediaNet will be used to access the internet. MMS and IM messages are included in the customer's iPhone data plan.
• bla bla bla

this is about using iPhone SIM card to non-iphone device.
iPhone doesn't support MMS and IM.

Wake up guys!

If you read the context in the full 65 page document, this is active when the iPhone SIM is inserted into another phone.

page 30-31

ahhhh, i see what your saying. that sucks, i got really excited. i still have wishful thinking that they will update VERY soon and address most of the complaints. since most of them are just a software update away from fixing.

but i thought that we couldnt take our iPhone sim and put it into another phone to use. i guess that confirms that you can, which is VERY good. i like being able to have another phone for times that i don't wanan mess up my iPhone

No stereo bluetooth on the iPhone. Without A2DP, it's not possible.

 

[wjp09]

I want aim Because AIM and Cingular have a contract deal together. I heard about it in an add while calling 611

 

[ColsTiger]

One good thing it does clear up however is the fact the SIM card is universal and that it can be used in other non-iphone handsets.

Which means it is offically not different and Kolizion is Officially a liar.

Yep. And I wanted to believe him too. He had a lot of fun though.

he was officially a liar the second he got on here.

nothing he said made any sense.

but i digress....knowing that i can change my sim to an old phone if i'm going somewhere i don't want my iPhone (i.e. sandy beach) is comforting.

 

[wjp09]

I didn't believe him from the getgo but its OFFICIAL now.

 

[Bosco115]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there are two compatibility methods. Think of it this way. The iPhone uses a new SIM card that doesn't allow other SIM cards to be used. Maybe they added a notch to another corner. An old Cingular SIM won't work in the iPhone, but this new iPhone SIM will work in old Cingular phones.

It's possible that other SIM cards don't work in the iPhone, but the iPhone's SIM card works in other phones. Kolizion isn't exactly a liar yet.

I don't remember him ever being too specific on the sim card. He didn't say it wouldn't work in other phones, just that it was a different kind of sim, like if you upgrade from a regular phone to a 3G phone you have to get a different sim (I had to when I switched from my razr to my blackjack) I'm not saying he is the read deal but I also don't think we can completely dismiss him.
Even if he is a fake he did have some info that we later found to be true and he indeed did allow me to "stay excited"
