iPhone MMS Lawsuit

iPhone customers still can't send picture messages and are alleging that AT&T and Apple misrepresented the availability of MMS on the 3G and 3G-S iPhone.

Background:

Since it's creation, one drawback of the original 2G iPhone was that it did not allow Multimedia Messaging Service, or MMS which allows users to send a picture message to another user's cell phone. Apple and AT&T advertised heavily that the newer versions of iPhone, the 3G and 3G-S, would allow MMS. Both Apple and AT&T advertisements touted the availability of MMS on the new phones. This new functionality was one of the reasons people chose to buy or upgrade to a 3G or 3G-S iPhone.

Unfortunately, picture messaging still didn't work on both the 3G and 3G-S. The troubleshooting page on Apple explained the problem: AT&T's towers do not support MMS. AT&T is the exclusive provider for iPhone users in the United States. None of the advertisements or materials in either the Apple or AT&T stores advises customers that the picture messaging functionality of the phones will only work after the AT&T towers are upgraded.
