Apple iPhone, much conceived as one of the most advanced mobile phone with countless explorable dimensions surprisingly lacked a very simple multimedia feature. The MMS support.

Although, Apple made attempts to imbibe it long time ago, perhaps, it was the carrier support and a few minor clitches that prevented it from going live. But, realizing the demand and the dire need of MMS, Apple, as promised, has eventually rolled out a new update to the Apple iPhone OS 3.1 which activates the iPhone MMS.

Even before the update was made available for public downloads, “Wireless carrier AT&T began sending out text messages this week letting iPhone users know that multimedia messaging capabilities will be available on Friday, Sept. 25” reported Apple Insider.

To get MMS support on your iPhone 3G or iPhone 3G S, just connect your iPhone to iTunes and download the update. But make sure that your carrier version reads “AT&T 5.5″ and then begin your update. Maybe, you will need to restart your iPhone for the MMS thing to work.

The update is supposed to stimulate the MMS support in to iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS only, while the original iPhone users are deprived of the feature. So, the privileged iPhone users will now be able to “send and receive photos, contacts, audio files and locations with the Messages app,” through the AT&T carrier.
