I just helped a fried with her Nokia phone. She add the unlimited MMS and TEXT services (as a package) to her phone. This is through AT&T wireless. I went on to their website and I found a few things out about MMS that surprised me.

Using an iPhone/Blackberry, etc or computer with standard eMail; I can eMail to an MMS account. The AT&T format is (phone#)@mms.att.net. This will convert over to MMS. Mind you, pix size is limited. Video is a postage stamp sized 3gp format for about 3~5 seconds. (why even send it?) Audio appears to be WAV only. Most MMS phones don't have the processing power to handle much of anything, so pix are about it. Anything else is a hassle and a waste of time.

As I read more into the FAQ's; I was shocked to find out that her weenier Nokia could MMS to my eMail. Yes that's right. She just puts in my eMail address "user@domain.com" and away it goes. Her particular phone defaulted to numbers only in the address or send to line. I found out how to change that for text. It works. I'm shocked. I'm sure other providers have this too, like Rogers, Telstra, T Moble, etc.

iPhone users are not haters.... but it is like asking us to run window on our Macs..... some things shouldn't be done. So MMS compatibility exists right now.


Can someone tell me if the Crackberries have MMS on them? I don't ever remember hearing about them.


PEACE, LOVE, AND HAIR GREASE!

I wouldnt mind using an Apple if I could use my A-cad/3ds/Ibis. Apple rigs are at release ussually the fastest and would be excellent for these purposes (except for the old graphics) but.. without Windows you can´t. So I agree, some things shouldn´t be done, but there is no other solution.]]>Nov 20th 2008 5:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/20/mobispines-iphone-mms-application-for-the-entire-universe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/20/mobispines-iphone-mms-application-for-the-entire-universe/
I'm going to assume you are USA based. In the USA and some other counties you can email an MMS message to a user however in countries like the UK specifically the O2 network they don't have an email to MMS gateway so this method simply wouldn't work. I love how you say it's a waste of time, MMS is not a waste of time it's a convenient way to send a picture, video or sound without the needing to go into email and quite frankly in Europe this is a handy feature considering every mobile phone here does MMS without a problem

It bores me that people and I'm not tarnishing all people from the USA with the same brush but anyone with a negative comment about MMS seems to reside that side of the Atlantic. Apple are marketing this phone worldwide but are limiting options to USA based customers. Clearly it's not difficult to do MMS and for most operators they charge MMS as just multiples of SMS, O2 I think charge an MMS as 3 or 4 SMS messages which is just clearly the equivalent of someone sending a large text message.

MMS in UK for example is already possible on the iphone via Swirly, however the hurdle we face is getting O2 to activate MMS on iphone accounts which is hit and miss depending who you speak to at O2, they don't activate be default purely because the app store doesn't have an application, I;m sure this is other operators rules so just to have an app in the appstore is sufficient enough]]>Nov 20th 2008 6:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/20/mobispines-iphone-mms-application-for-the-entire-universe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/20/mobispines-iphone-mms-application-for-the-entire-universe/

iPhone really is lacking in those "basics" when it comes to text messaging....
-Can't forward a text (Copy/Paste would help be a workaround)
-No individual time stamp
-MMS

I'm jumping ship to the NEW Blackberry Storm.

See they know how to get it right by including ALL the BASIC features from day one and not holding back like you morons at apple who hold back all the basics just so you can sell us the next version with these features when these features have been around for years.

Example: 3G !! MMS, Video, option to turn off Predictive texting.............these are all basic features APPLE!!

Damn YOU!!

Just for that- I'm kicking my iphone out.

Not to mention Horrible........call quality, Major DROPPED CALLS and FAILED CALLS!!

I really wanted to like the Iphone and I do like it -----its just that you greedy basterds are apple are holding back on basic features to piss us off!!
