AT&T MMS Delay May Be Due To Opt-Out Codes [IPhone]
Gizmodo — ... As for the tethering delay, BGR also noted that AT&T; is still in the process of hammering out a pricing plan—possibly as much as $70 per month for unlimited data/tethering. None of this is confirmed of course, but $70 a month for an unlimited data plan with tethering would be way to damn much. [BGR] ...

AT&T will make iPhone users wait for MMS messaging and Internet tethering
iPhonefreak — ... being worked out. So far, it was noted that it could possibly cost $70 a month and it would be for unlimited data and tethering. Of course, there was not any time frame given as to when AT&T customers can expect to see a tethering plan available. Honestly, these could both be labeled as a FAIL on the part of AT&T. After all, it is not any secret that iPhone OS 3.0 would have built-in support for MMS and tethering. You would have thought that AT&T could have planned ahead a little. [ BGR ]

The dying goodwill toward AT&T
The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) — ... been trying to play catch-up when it comes to service and tower availability. But, the release of the iPhone 3G S might be the straw that breaks the camel's back. I can walk down to my local AT&T store and pick up a cheap handset for less than $100 that will have MMS. AT&T knew this day was coming. The company may wail and gnash its teeth, complaining that it aren't ready for this, but it should be, especially since Boy Genius Report tells us that all AT&T needs to do is manually remove the opt-out code! ...

AT&T tight-lipped on MMS, tethering
Macworld — ... . But don’t get too excited, U.S. customers—these features won’t be available at launch. According to AT&T, MMS won’t come until late summer, and the company did not give tethering availability. Our AT&T spokesperson said that these issues have nothing to do with the 3G network. Rather, AT&T blames lack of MMS on “finalizing internal system upgrades”—whatever that means. The blog Boy Genius Report reports that AT&T has to manually remove all the “Opt Out MMS” codes on each account before MMS can work. As for tethering, some are speculating that AT&T and Apple are still ...

How AT&T Stumbled Through the iPhone 3GS Launch
Wired: Gadget Lab — ... So what could it be? A tipster told The Boy Genius Report that MMS isn’t immediately available because AT&T must manually remove a code disabling MMS — an “Opt Out MMS Code” — from each account. We’re confused about this explanation, because prior to the launch of iPhone 3.0, Apple’s text-messaging app didn’t support MMS to begin with. Why insert an opt-out code to begin with? ...

Endless Summer: AT&T Has Three Weeks To Fulfill Its MMS Promise
TechCrunch — ... it is that about three months now after much of the rest of the world got it, the U.S. still has no MMS capabilities for the iPhone. Reasons seem to vary for why exactly it is taking AT&T so long, but my favorite is the one where they have to manually remove MMS opt-out codes from each iPhone contract. Genius planning right there, if that’s true. And still, why exactly does that take three months? ...
