Texting Photos ??

It's like a handheld computer in that it can browse internet. I'll consider it more computer-like when I can copy/edit, and when I can edit/change a Word document.

Never forwarded a text to anyone.

it is hard to believe, or u don't have any contact, hehehe, it is IMPOSSIBLE that no body did forward a text in their life, am not buying that fan girl...

Sorry, my friends and I grew up before the days of forwarding text messages. Heck, I have friends who don't even own a cell phone.

or u never used the MMS,

well, maybe not u, but million others did and do...

I use MMS once in a great while but generally I'm sending the picture to someone's email address rather than another cell phone.

If I was going to guess, based on your responses, you're a teenager or a younger adult since forwarding texts, file sharing and MMS seem to be really important to you.

For the things I want out of a smartphone, the iPhone fits the bill and does a great job for the things I need it to do when I'm working.

*Thank you*
that's exactly the case
it is just a phone that can do stuff in a different way
it is never a computer, maybe a computerized device yeah but not a computer unless it can really do what u said and even MORE

wish u the happiness in your stone age 🙂

I "email" pics to phonenumberhere@mms.att.net and it works great. I'm pretty sure other carriers support this.

Always new threads on the same topic.....

Texting Pics (MMS) is/was a hack to get dumb phones to do things that email can do.

Email is better, more reliable, and more flexible. I for one am really happy that Apple does NOT support MMS. Anyone that has had a smartphone before knows that MMS is more a hassle then anything else. You have to worry about paying different amounts depending on how a picture is sent, as MMS usually cost the same as 5 Text messages, while email falls under data plans.

Then there are issues sending MMS between different carriers and sometimes between different phones. Many phones truncate MMS when receiving and some carriers truncate when they receive from another carrier.

Goodbye MMS, please don't come back. 🙂

Anyone that is still complaining... if you simply asked Apple or ATT they will tell you that MMS is not supported. No one should be surprised by this.

this at first was a big issue for me. MMS etc...but after 3 weeks i have finally worked around it as have my friends who have just put my email into their list to send mms. It really isnt that bad at all.

I dunno. MMS arrives on its own while with email addressee should fetch for it. Then on many ordinary phones it's a hassle to set up an email and not all folks bother to do this. Many people don't even have expensive data plans but all whom I know have plans for texting and MMS. I and my friends used various phones and I hardly can remember any case with modern phone where MMS were incompatible or something. It's so nice to catch a funny or interesting thing on your phone cam and then send it to guys and get immediate replies. Or somebody forwards you a swell pic and you forward it to guys. Forget both things with iPhone.

It still bugs me why Apple didn't implement such simple and common things like MMS, forwarding and even text counter. There's no rational explanation except for Apple imposing some perverse style of exclusivity by omission 🙂 It's a minimalist design for its own sakes dispensing with basic usability and common sense.

As you are so happy a feature is not there

Please can you tell me, on a UK network, what the email address is for the UK carriers and how to use it, as when i try to send an MMS from another phone to my email address it fails

Thanks

Hey Tamara,

I suggest we give the Agent_s87 character a wide-birth, he / she obviously has a huge chip on their shoulder & is adament on causing friction on here.

We are better off staying clear of him / her.

What do you say 😉

When someone sends me an MMS, I get a notification from o2.

This will consist of a web address where i can go & download the MMS using a password that o2 give me.

I was at a concert recently when i recieved an o2 notification - i simply used my iPhone to visit the website & download the image to my iPhone - it is so simple.

Who we kidding here, wouldn't it be EASIER to view it DIRECTLY on your phone INSTEAD of all that hassle with web address, internet connection, open the page, put the password just to see the small picture!!

The AT&T mms reference does not work.

Just an FYI, you can ditch all of the provider tables with various blahblah.net garbage. Just send to phonenumber@tmomail.net

It will automatically look up the persons provider and send the message to the appropriate address for you. Much easier than trying to figure out which carrier someone uses and then remember what address that entails.

The service is free, and requires no registration or anything of that sort. If I wanted to send to 123-456-7890 and I didn't know what carrier that person was on, I would simply send to 1234567890@tomail.net and it would do the rest.

oh reeeeeeally? i did not know that!
