Denmark Carrier Announces Prices, iPhone 3G To Have MMS?

Denmark phone carrier Telia has announced their prices and plans for the iPhone 3G that will be launching on July 11th. The 8GB version will cost 1.399 Danish kr and 1.999 Danish kr for the 16GB version. The've also announced a special rate plan called iOn, which comes with 300 minutes and 300MB data. Contracts are also limited to 6 months in that country. Lastly, the announcement also lists unlimited SMS and MMS messages as one of the features of the plan.

Wait, what?!

Apparently iPhone customers on Telia's network in Denmark are going to be getting unlimited MMS messages. It's mentioned it the graphic below, as well as a press release that was sent out by the company.

If this is true, then Denmark is the first known nation to be getting MMS on the iPhone. This would also confirm that the iPhone 3G is capable of sending MMS messages, something that has been long anticipated by iPhone owners. An AT&T memo also allegedly stated that the iPhone 3G would have MMS, but neither AT&T nor Apple have publicly confirmed it to be included.

Not keeping my hopes up....

I'm thinking that MMS would have been mentioned as a new feature when the 3G was introduced. Its probably mentioned in the memo as a mistake seeing that every phone BUT the iPhone has MMS capabilities so it would be an easy typo to say "SMS and MMS" in the same sentence when discussing text message pricing.

^ It's very possible that Apple is having some more surprises regarding this phone and they keep them for the release week. The MMS feature could be one of them.

I'd like to hope so. It is such a common feature, that you'd expect it to be on the first generation model (which was a bit of an upset)

Please be true

Hahaha..........yes, that would be so sweet if it were true that we got MMS also. I have sent feedback to Apple several time when they've come out with updates. I'm sure we could also have it on the 3G iPhone, it's just somewhere along the line, somebody is holding out on us.
I hope that Apple has a few surprises when the 2.0 software comes out. That would renew my excitement for the phone.

The information doesn't match the information given on the Telia.dk website.

The MMS is just Telia that do not know what the iPhone can and can not.

They also sayes that 300MB data is more that normal peoples will use.
And that 300MB is severel 1.000 web pages. (there own main page is 0.6MB, that comes to you can see there main page 500 times and then you have used 300MB. 500 times is not severel 1.000)

And don't realy knows that the iPhone can see real webpages, and not the mobil optimezed ones.
And that you can see youtube video's over the net on it.

There is also no way to get umlimeted data add on.
What you see is the only plan you can get in Denmark.
And it is the cell phone provider whit the worstd 3G covers in Denmark.

They have announced a plande to cover 80% of Denmark in the end of the year.
The rest of the proviters at around 98% at the moment.

The WiFi spots they have under 200 in Denmark, and they are located in Telia shops, and in 7-11's in Copenhagen.

So not the places where you nomely take up you phone to tjek stuff on the Internet
