Story below.

AT&T (T: 25.11, -0.27, -1.06%) announced it is rolling out an update for iPhone 3G and 3GS customers to be able to use Multimedia Messaging Service [MMS] on their handhelds on Sept. 25.

The exclusive U.S. Apple (AAPL: 166.53, 1.35, 0.82%) iPhone carrier said it has been preparing its network for several months to be able to handle what it expects to be record volumes of MMS traffic.

When the latest version of the iPhone’s software first arrived in June, supporting MMS, AT&T said it would enable it on the iPhone later during the summer.

Using MMS, mobile phone users can send photos, video clips, and sound clips over cellular networks, much like they do with SMS text messages.
