No, MMS is definitely disabled on iPhone 3G accounts. It may be
enabled on first gen iPhone accounts, and variously on other iPhone
accounts whose numbers/accounts/SIMs may have had other plans which
had MMS enabled. So it's definitely true that MMS is disabled for
(nearly) all iPhone 3G customers, and needs to be enabled for 3.0.
I'm not sure the part of the rumor about AT&T having added (or having
to remove them) *manually* is correct, but they do need to change the
iPhone 3G data plan provisioning to allow MMS. (I have a friend who
happens to be an AT&T Corporate store manager.)

I wouldn't doubt it. I was just saying what the "rumor" i heard
was. I don't think anyone but AT&T knows.

I am not sure that is correct. Some months ago, I took my first gen
iPhone sim card and placed it into my unlocked Treo 650 and recall
receiving an MMS. I'll have to try that again to verify.

What I hear is that MMS+SMS is the same messaging package, however,
since, before now the iPhone didn't receive MMS, AT&T had to go in
and put a manual block on each account that blocks MMS from heading
out to the phone. Now they have to go and back all those manual
blocks out.
That's the rumor.

What I find interesting is the fact that ATT says that they need to
upgrade their infrastructure to support MMS picture mesaging, yet
every other phone they have does pictures just fine (even the old
crappy ones that I have laying around).
I think the real story is "We need to come up with a price increase
for MMS messaging for iPhone."
I have unlimited family text on mine, which is supposed to include
picture messaging...
ATT is really a lousy excuse for a carrer. the iPhone is
respsonsible for their success... if my iPhones would work on
Verizon or Sprint, I would be there...
But this no MMS messaging makes the 3.0 software very limited... not
to mention no tethering...
