Interesting. Older post…but I’m still not convinced you should get an Iphone over something like an Android. I just can’t convince myself the iphone is not just some sort of fanboy phone. My .02 any ways.

MMS is the least problem it lacks a lot of features – like the calls are not separated in received, dialed, missed….you have only ALL and missed…pretty annoying

Sinister1 is correct; if my friends had never told me about this MMS from ifind2.com I swear that I would not be able to receive pics on my i Phone, I know because I bought 5 other apps that could send but only to other phones and I could send to my friends with i Phones but all they would get is errors, I can also use my phone as a modem to surf the web for free.

Guys the problem is with AT&T trying to get MMS to work in the U.S. before Sept. 25. They are testing and getting there network ready to handle MMS but there is a long road ahead of head aches with it having bugs and glitches it now looks like it will be this winter before they get it right. You can’t receive MMS on your i Phones because AT&T has port 1010 blocked. That’s why i have been using Send MMS and View MMS from MMS.ifind2.com. Check it out its $1.99 to download each app but you will be able to send and receive MMS to other i phones not just other phones.

I don’t even receive the view my message links when people send me picture texts anymore. I get absolutely nothing. Then when they ask me why I didn’t respond I have to tell them that my $500 phone doesn’t receive picture texts. Nice. Anyone else stop getting view my message links?

Well I believe I have an answer to that; like you and many others I my self had the same problem a while back and then I ran it a developer and co-worker that introduced me to an MMS/SMS for the I phone that he had worked on and I’ll tell you it works! You must check it out at the link below.

I was in a hurry to get the new beta on my phone but did not want to pay for a developers account and of course i bricked my iphone 2 days ago and was stuck until i found the website that i linked to my name above, just click on my name to go there. They had me up and running in no time and i now have complete access to their Apple developers account with my own user ID and password. It was worth it, just my 2 cents for anyone who is in the same boat i was.

I really don’t see the advantage here if it doesn’t actually send an MMS. While it might provide a more intuitive interface for iPhone users to send pictures between iPhones, it seems like it does little to connect iPhone users with non-smartphone users who do not have a data plan, but do have an SMS/MMS plan.

Flutter is basically useless when sending messages to people without Web access on their phones (like most of the people I know). They would have to drive home, get on their computer, and type in the link to view the pic. Yeah right! SwirlyMMS requires that you convince AT&T to give you an MMS package for your iPhone. I’ve talked to them many, many times about this (begging/pleading), and they have so far REFUSED to do this. They insist that they will NOT activate an MMS plan for anyone with an iPhone — for any price. Here is a QUOTE from one of the many replies that I got from AT&T on this subject:

“Your current message package is indeed the iPhone unlimited message package for $20 per month on each line. It is available specifically for iPhones as it will allow you to send and receive text messages while still receiving the “viewmymessage” notification when you do receive a multimedia message. These message packages will not allow multimedia messaging even if you use your SIM in a different device. Individual message packages which allow multimedia messages are not able to be added to iPhone lines with the exception of the unlimited message for families package for $30 per month. If you add the unlimited message for families package, you will no longer receive the “viewmymessage” notification when you receive a multimedia message. The multimedia message will also not be delivered to your iPhone as we do not support multimedia messaging on the iPhone. We appreciate your understanding.”

So I guess iPhone users are out of luck for MMS (except the few who have apparently convinced AT&T to give them an MMS package). I’m looking for some kind of third-party solution now.
