The folks over at iPhone Atlas are reporting that “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? ”
Additional Thoughts: The assumption that AT&T will provide MMS support due to the fact that they haven’t yet released any text-inclusive plans may be a bit hasty, but I am sure many people would like to see this one come to fruition. You would think that a major feature like MMS support would be openly talked about, as I would see no benefit in keeping this in the dark.
