Quite a few reports are doing the rounds that the MMS messages sent from the iPhones are reaching the recipients with a wrong sender number.
In all of these cases, the recipients received the MMS message intact; however the displayed sender number was of some other random AT&T user.
According to a post by an iPhone user on the MacRumors forum, the problem has been observed irrespective of the iPhones being jailbroken or otherwise. AT&T and Apple have so far denied any widespread occurrence of the issue and claim they are isolated incidents. However, according to a poll conducted on the Engadget blog, close to 69% of the iPhone users who tried sending an MMS have apparently faced this problem.
It has been less than a month since AT&T enabled MMS on the iPhones in the US, which seemed to have gone off smoothly other than some reports of MMS being down because of some latency issues. But based on the feedback from our readers, it seemed to be a false alarm.
Though this issue seems to be a problem with the carrier, it is still unclear if iPhone users on carriers other than AT&T have faced this problem.
