First off, I have the 1g iphone jailbroken not unlocked on att in the usa.
I have been working on getting mms working on my iphone for quite sometime now. And there is one way, only ONE way to get it to work. You can change your swirly settings till you wear a hole through your screen, it does nothing. You can argue with att and apple reps for days and have every setting changed. If you manage to get it to work, it'll work for a while then when the system refreshes it turns all the settings back to normal iphone account settings, it's just time wasted. Apple has att frantically working to close all the little loop holes and back doors so you can't use mms on iphone. (I actually believe if they spent 1/16 the effort thwarting us that want mms, they could have made a mms program.... I'm beginning to believe they are just full of petty pride and are jealous that swirly beat them to the punch) The only permanent way to have and keep mms using att in the usa is to get rid of your iphone account. Yes, eliminate your iphone account and have a basic unlimited message and data plan on a normal phone account, just tell them you are going to your old phone, provided it had mms and internet then pop your sim into your iphone and enjoy. There is one drawback, you will lose visual voice mail. A fare trade in my opinion. I'm sure apple will piss and moan about it and try to find some way to stop it, but it works.
Unless someone has a better idea, and they are going to have to prove it to me, this is the only permanent fix to have fully functional mms on your iphone.
