If you have felt that the Google Voice app was both antiquated and lacking in features, you are not alone. Google Voice has at times seemed like the red-headed stepchild of the Google family, but the company today is taking steps to enhance the calling and messaging experience. For starters, the Google Voice app has received a complete top-to-bottom visual overhaul that is much appreciated after years of stagnation. Both the iOS and Android apps — along with the web version of Google Voice — now used the Material Design aesthetic through. Navigating the Google Voice UI is also a lot more streamlined, as Google has implemented tabs that allow you to easily access your calls, voicemails and text...

While Apple enabled MMS functionality in iPhone OS 3.0, AT&T has, according to the company, held back rolling it out because of potential network issues. In other words, AT&T is saying, "We're not ready!" At least AT&T was saying that. In addition to setting a hard date of Sept. 25th for a rollout of MMS functionality to users, it appears the carrier is staging MMS functionality upgrades, rolling it out across the country gradually. You'll recall that what AT&T did previously was mark the MMS feature in iPhone users' accounts as "opted out." It appears, based on end user reports, that they are randomly going through accounts and activating MMS gradually, to avoid the big "iPhone...

When Apple released the iPhone OS 3.0 firmware, there was much angst over the fact that MMS would be included in the package, but not for AT&T users (there has also been angst over lack of tethering but that's another story). Two, count 'em, two lawsuits have been filed over the delays in rolling out MMS, which AT&T said was coming "this summer." Realistically, it's still summer, but the obvious question is "what's taking so long?" The obvious answer is there has to be an issue on the AT&T network. Is it just fear that the network cannot support all those iPhone users sending MMS messages, and is it a valid fear by AT&T or just caution? Who knows? One lawsuit was filed in a U.S....

As part of the WWDC keynote on Monday, a few iPhone OS 3.0 features were announced that made people go "huh?" Why? Because AT&T wasn't going to support them, at least at the start. In terms of new features, that would be MMS and tethering. AT&T spokesperson Seth Bloom told Ars Technica: "We absolutely will offer MMS on iPhone 3G S in the late summer, once we complete some system upgrades that will ensure our customers have the best experience with MMS. These upgrades are unrelated to our 3G network."Now maybe that has to do with what BGR found out. According to BGR, the reason for the MMS delay is that AT&T has to manually remove all the “Opt Out MMS codes” on each account. Now that...
