Lack of MMS on the iPhone Bother You? We have the Workaround

Posted in Apple by Dan at 11:09 am

Pissed of that you can’t send an MMS from the iPhone? Although we are fairly certain that the feature will surface in an update sometime in the next month or two, there is a work around that will enable pseudo MMS capabilities to your iPhone.

Since you can email pictures you have taken, to send a picture to any cellphone just email it to the recipients MMS email address. All you will need to do is enter the recipients 10 digit number into the appropriate carrier field.

US Based Carriers:

Alltel = xxxxxxxxxx@message.alltel.com
AT&T = xxxxxxxxxx@mms.att.net
Boost Mobile = xxxxxxxxxx@myboostmobile.com
Cingular (AT&T) = xxxxxxxxxx@mms.mycingular.com
Einstein PCS = xxxxxxxxxx@einsteinmms.com
Sprint = xxxxxxxxxx@messaging.sprintpcs.com
T-Mobile = xxxxxxxxxx@tmomail.net
US Cellular = xxxxxxxxxx@mms.uscc.net
Verizon Wireless = xxxxxxxxxx@vzwpix.com
Virgin Mobile = xxxxxxxxxx@vmobl.com

    Guys, please stop the iPhone news. We’re in overload at this point.
    Everybody is posting solid iPhone news all around. Why don’t you try and differentiate by *NOT* posting as many iPhone news?
    This is not iPhone specific, any item with this much coverage in so little time causes sever burn-out from the readers.
    Oh well

    Haha Oliver not to be mean or anything but no one actually makes you read anything. Thats why posts have titles. You’re not interested you move on. No harm done.

    And some people don’t have umpteen feeds from other blogs so not everyone gets a sever burn-out. Let Dan and Derek post as they wish.

    I’m just sayin…

    Agreed as well. Plus this iPhone news isn’t anything like TUAW, where every post is about it.

    you have to remember sir that all of the authors of this blog (status quo) are iPhone users that are tweaking, hacking, and playing with their new babies… if we find something cool or a work around we’re going to tell you, us, and everyone else about it.

    PS incase anyone was interested it doesn’t support bluetooth modem support either :(

    So this states its for iPhone. I have one and the list at the top is not up to date. For instance.

    Sprint= (xxx)xxx-xxxx@pm.sprint.com
    Verizon=(xxx)xxx-xxxx@vtext.com

    Anybody have any confirmations on other email updates!?

    I made a contact in Address Book that has all of the providers from the ‘@’ and on. Makes this process a LOT better!

    E-mail and MMS - there’s a key difference!

    MMS Coverage in Europe is huge. MMS can be sent from almost everywhere. On the other hand for E-mail (with pics attached) to be used instead of MMS, bothe the sender and the receiver need to be at that moment on a WiFi spot… MMS main use case is casual use, and when that happens many times sender has no Wifi. e.g. a weekend on the countryside, on the street, traveling abroad, etc.

    pktpix.com does it for you… you send a message to **********@pktpix.com, and it sends the message to the recipient, no matter what network they’re on, so you don’t have to remember @messaging.or.something.else.obscure.carrier.com.
