Picture messaging on the iphone

You cannot. iPhone does not support MMS.

Have people send the MMS from their phone to your e-mail address - they do not need internet are e-mail on their cell phone to do this.

I find this process very frustrating, since you can't copy and paste on the iphone either you have to flip between screens to type the password in. Archaic.

Again, you do not need a password or need to go to a website (at least in the U.S.), people can MMS to your e-mail and you can look at it there.

If you want to send them an MMs there is an app in the store called flutter. Just tell your friends to send you any pics to your email. Believe it or not MMS is archaich. Apple phones are ahead of their time. It is a e-mail based phone.

Worry no more everyone. I stumbled across JuiceCaster's Flutter and found the best solution to the iPhone picture messaging issue. Flutter allows for iPhone users to send free SMS pictures without having to log online. Not only is it free, but it has a cool geo-tagging feature which allows for the user to tag the photo with the exact location where it was taken..

DEFINITELY WORTH CHECKING OUT

why would someone use "flutter" when having someone email the picture to me is much easier......i'm still not getting why people are having a tough time with emailing pictures

Not everyone has email capabilities on there phone. My parents are just now learning to take pictures on their phones and email them. Now that I have an iphone I can no longer participate with them, its frustrating. I want to be able to take a photo on my phone and send it to their phone - MMS may be on the way out, but there are a lot of people who still actively use and enjoy sending picture messages. Very disappointing, I agree!

email capabilites are not necessary for the non-iphone party of the message. it is sent/recieved as an MMS for them. it is sent/received as an email, for you.

most, if not all, modern cell phone does have an "email address" for their phone...instead of them putting in your phone number, they, believe it or not, can actuually type in an email address, when they do this and it sent to you, you can actually see their cell phone's email address...when you want to send them a picture, you email the picture to that email address and they will get it as if it was a regular picture message

example: verizon wireless cell phones are 9998881234@vzwpix.com

For anyone on at&t

To send a text message it's <cellnumber>@txt.att.net
For MMS, it's <cellnumber>@mms.att.net

(Sending it to the MMS address on an iPhone doesn't work since it doesn't have the capability)

someday we will get MMS on our iphones ...

I wouldn't hold my breath on that. It's been 17 months and not even a hint of a rumor of MMS.

Maybe we need to keep the topic going and then everyone send Apple a message through the feedback everyday until they do something. I was frustrated and found this because my daughter had a baby yesterday. My wife sent me the photo she'd received on her phone. She wanted me to e-mail it to other family. I couldn't get it on my iPhone because despite carefully entering the incredibly long and convoluted id and password, it said it was incorrect or some other message.

Then when I go online with my MacBook Pro, I get to see the photo but can't capture it. What's that about?

I'm waiting for the rotary dialing option!

Just kidding. But I don't care about picture messages. Email is easier. Message forwarding would be nice, but really is a minor issue. Tex messages are pretty short and a full keyboard makes typing them pretty quick.
