  • MMS on iPhone - via AppStore

    UPDATE: Its mostly crap. Read my edit at bottom of thread.



    Juice Wireless, Inc, has just released Flutter (iTunes AppStore Link), an AppStore app which (kinda) allows you to send MMS from your iPhone.

    The app is definitely still in a beta format, with a bunch of supposed limitations (can only send to folks in your contact book - can't just tap in a number, can't receive MMS, location support is buggy - far off usually, and not everyone seems to be receiving the MMS's), but its up.

    However, either the app is a joke, or their servers are much more overloaded than they thought would happen - I have yet to even get the confirmation sms, much less be able to test the app, and its been hours. I will update this post with a more involved review when (if?) it comes through.



    How bout you guys? Anyone able to get this working?

    Notable - as of this writing, the app isn't in the AppStore on the iPhone, only via the link I posted.

    EDIT: Alright, I was finally able to get my SMS password sent to me after pressing resend a dozen times (after which I got it a half dozen times, ha). I sent an "MMS" to my T-Mobile phone, and received it less than a minute later.

    All it was, though, was a message saying "You've received an iPhone picture message" and a "click here to view it." The link directs to a mobile page in the receiving phone's browser (assuming, of course, they even have a browser, and internet on their phone), which loads the image. Lame. Even that didn't work though - it told me I was an unauthorized viewer and that "this JuiceCast is unavailable."

    Save your time, don't download this.

      This makes the recipient have to go to a website to look at the picture...basically viewmymessage.com for everyone

      Nothing beats Swirly's MMS app. I'm waiting for the 2.0 version.

      Downloaded. Deleted. Waiting for Swirly. Why do devs even try to pass this crap off onto us? Lord, I guess there are enough idjits out there with iPhones that it'll work out for them.

      Sigh.

      well it's a step in the right direction. Hopefully they improve on it or Apple gets a clue and adds MMS like they should have from the begining

      Every time I want to send a message it tells me:

      INCOMPLETE MESSAGE
      You must include before this message is sent.

      Deleted the program. Still trying to figure out what it means. Anybody else got an idea?

      Apology here from developer. He admits to being caught with his pants down as it's not supposed to go live till Monday and even then US only. Apple have sprung a worldwide release on him early.
      Credit where credits due for the developer to come explain himself. He also states true MMS is a possibility, but not as a free service.

      I fail to understand why MMS matters. Can't you just send an email?

      How bout /receiving/?

      Try as I might, I can't get every person in my contact list to remember to send picture messages to my email rather than phone number.

      Also, MMS is great for those folks who can't get email on their phones (ack, yes, they do still exist ) - sometimes you just want a quick image share, and I don't want to go through and store 300 [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] etc emails for all their phones. Like I know what carrier all my friends are on (well, almost, heh).

      I will agree though that emailing the image suffices (and is superior, in fact), in most cases.

      I guess I have too many contacts. (1200+) It sucks that you enter the recipient by name. Since this app makes you scroll through your entire list, by the time I finger scroll through half way down, the app totally crashes/exits every time. (lame!) This is NOT easy to use at all, not impressed!
