AT&T

More news today about the iPhone 3GS, and the iPhone 3.0 software update. AT&T today put out a video answering customers concerns about upgrade pricing, MMS and tethering.

Although AT&T was booed at the iPhone 3G S announcement for not offering MMS on launch, it is interesting to note that they will not be charging extra for MMS, they will treat them like a regular text message.

Rogers on the other hand, will be charging at least $5 on the iPhone value pack to have MMS messaging, which is quite funny because the regular smartphone value pack included it, but when you purchased an iPhone 3G they converted your value pack to the iPhone one without MMS because the iPhone did not support it. Now if you want that functionality back, you must pay.

But make sure you sign up for the MMS package, because if you don't you will be paying the ridiculously high per use fees that cell phone providers love to charge

AT&T Was booed at 2009 WWDCUsually when Apple releases iPhones, their US network partner gets things first, and the rest of us have to wait. This time around however, AT&T was booed and laughed at when new features for the iPhone 3G S were announced at the WWDC keynote, and it was mentioned that these new features that rely on the carrier would not immediately be available on AT&T.

An interesting article in the LA Times and interview with an AT&T spoken appeared today, which provides excuses, I mean answers as to why they are lagging behind the rest of the world.
