O2 iPhone 3.0 MMS problems explained and charges

We posted a video today that shows you how to send an MMS on iPhone 3.0, although this is not much good if your not able to do this yet on AT&T or O2 are having problems at sending MMS on the new iPhone 3.0 software.

We have heard a few reasons why this may be but one of the best explanations about O2 and MMS on iPhone 3.0 was reported by one of our users who apparently contacted O2.
This is the tip that they left on PR News and it explains a little why you may not want to keep trying to send MMS.
I have spoken to a contact of mine at O2 this morning. The MMS fault is an Apple problem and not a network problem. That is why most people (me included) got the “Your MMS is up and running” message from O2 immediately after upgrading to 3.0 and it probably worked once or twice. This is a provisioning issue to be resolved by Apple and will most likely require you to re-install 3.0 when they find a fix.
DO NOT KEEP TRYING THOUGH BECAUSE THE NETWORK THINKS YOU ARE SUCCESSFULLY SENDING MESSAGES AND WILL DEDUCT FROM YOUR ALLOWANCE. ALSO, SENDING MMS TO 1010 WILL MAKE NO DIFFERENCE AT THE MOMENT IM AFRAID. WAIT 24 HOURS AND PLUG IN TO ITUNES TO SEE IF IT OFFERS YOU AN UPDATE.
Hope this helps.
So can this really be Apple’s fault and not O2’s, and if true we would imagine a lot of users have been charged for MMS messages that failed. Lets hope that’s more rumor than fact. Feel free to let us know your views on MMS and iPhone 3.0 in the comments.
