As for receiving picture messages on the iphone its almost as easy. As I said, my wife's phone is on verizon and all she has to do to send me a picture message is enter my email address instead of a phone number in the sender line. I have also tried that using helio (lol) and it worked so I'm guessing it will work for at least some other carriers. It's not quite as instantaneous depending on your push settings I guess, but it's a work-around since, in my experience, whining about how the iphone should have mms but doesn't won't get me pictures to and from my phone any faster.

This way certainly works and has worked since day one.
Only drawback is that people have become so lazy, they don't wish to remember your email when they are sending the MMS.

As for the "Sent from my iPhone" message, go to Mail/Signature and remove that line from there.
She should receive only one MMS after this.

Major flawed logic with this technique:

1) So tell me which carrier each of my 150 contacts have so I can send them an email/mms
2) I have all contacts' phone numbers, now you need to tell me the domain (and if it works) for O2 Germany, O2 UK, Orange France, Vodafone UK, Vodafone Germany, simyo, Base, e-plus, callmobile, t-mobile Germany, KPN, TIM, and numerous others that I don't know because I don't have the list of carriers for my contacts.

So when you take a picture on your phone, you send it to all 150 people?

I tried using this to send a picture to my friend that uses att, and it didnt work.

Did he have an iPhone? rofl

Make sure you delete the space before the image and also your signature.
That makes it work.

[harryding]

um no. I thought that was the whole point...lol

K I'll try that. Thanks

EDIT* Tried it again doing what you said and again I got a mailer-daemon error. I have double checked his number and I did add @mms.att.com to the end so I have no idea what the problem is. Do i need to add a 1 in front of the area code?

As far as bluetooth, i didn't know you couldn't listen to music via bluetooth headphones but, the reason for no file transfer, is because AT&T is urging companies to do away with this to help protect music artists rights, as if they are losing any money while we are all down in our cars not their private jets but the point being is that they do have the rights to songs and things like that, with bluetooth you can get any ringtone you want for free which sadly to say to say is wrong.

And for most anybody i'm gonna send a mms message to is on the same network or i know which one they are on by their number.

oh and one more thing why the hell do you dog on a phone so much that you still haven't got rid of?

No, just one of them. But it could be any one of them, so I need to know who the carrier is for all of my contacts, and the domain to send it to, if it even works. I bet I have at least 20 carriers/VNOs to know.

My friend Miles in England has a (fictional) number +447911199944.

With MMS I just send it to his number. With the original post technique I am supposed to email it. What email address?

Get my point?

Um... ask him?

[Emir S.]

Eurisko, that's exactly the point the dude is trying to make.

Yes, there is a workaround but it's not nearly as elegant as standard MMS.
Why reinvent the wheel?

If there wasn't a need and want for MMS on the iPhone, the 3rd party MMS apps wouldn't be so popular as they are now.

[ninjoshua]

pfft

MMS is for Japanese prepubescent girls.

I kid, I kid.

[imnew2hu]

I work for ATT and have for years yes you can use the phone number email trick but this is no exscuse for the lack of MMS on the iphone bad apple bad
