Lack of MMS Result in Lawsuits Against Apple and AT&T

Posted 08/17/2009 at 1:51:18pm | by JC Domingo

Here we are, approaching the end of summer, and there's still no multimedia messaging available on the iPhone! Then again, you can always email your pictures via email.

According to AppleInsider, there were two lawsuits filed against Apple and AT&T last week for the lack of MMS capabilities after advertisements of iPhone 3GS said the feature was available. One complaint was filed in Southern Illinois, the other in Louisiana. The Louisiana suit states:

"Apple advertised heavily that the new version of iPhone 3G, as well as the even newer version, the 3GS, would allow MMS...Apple's print and video advertisements in and on television, the Internet, radio, newspapers, and direct mailers all touted the availability of MMS."

The Illinois suit also adds that the two companies are acting in "deception, fraud, false pretense, false promise, misrepresentation and unfair practices."

AT&T dragging their feet is not acceptable. This is an AT&T issue, not an Apple issue.

None availability of MSM on iPhone and DSL service for AT&T home
Submitted by Fred on Tue, 2009-08-18 05:14

You bet your life! If AT&T can, it will drag it's feet to save a dollar and then lie to your face. Here in North central Florida, we have NOT had 3G service until last month, still do not have DSL (Oh yea, if you can't get it, then you can always use Satellite internet at it's premium price of $79.99 - not the $49.00 as it is for those who have DSL) AND we are still awaiting MSM. AND FCC still allows them to get away with it - why because AT&T fills the senators & reps pockets with millions of dollars to be allowed to NOT do what they promise that they will do. WOW-don't get me started-my heart is already pumping hard and the steam kettle is ready to blow over this "DO NOTHING FOR THE CUSTOMERS" company!

I agree; Apple had this

I agree; Apple had this feature already enabled when 3.0 came out, but since AT&T didn't support it, Apple had to take it out so it wouldnt look bad on their part. Looks like yet another good marketing ploy if I say so myself. My motorola flip phone had MMS back in 2003...

In Canada we got MMS right when 3.0 came out, and as far as I know in most other countries too. It's a pity AT&T treats their customers so badly. With all the problem's I hear about it sounds like AT&T at times makes the iPhone look bad.
