SwirlyMMS brings MMS to Jailbroken iPhone [iPhone App Review]
SwirlyMMS is a native iPhone application that brings the missing MMS feature to the jailbroken iPhone (at least until this summer as Apple has finally included the MMS feature in iPhone OS 3.0). It's easy to use and allows you to send photos, text messages, audio and video files to...

I tried using SwirlyMMS but couldn't get it to work then read through the forums and saw that in order to make SwirlyMMS work on an iPhone you need to put your SIM card in a different phone (one that supports MMS) and tell AT&T that you switch the SIM card between two phones but telling them so disables Visual Voicemail. Did you have to do this?

i got swirlymms to work and have had it pretty much since the first day i jailbroke my iphone 3g, however i have had one prob recently one message i received wont open it crashes the program when it tries to open. which swirlymms had a feature that allowed u to forward the messages somewhere else without opening them, but overall I am very pleased with the program

SwirlyMMS was good, i liked all of the features but it wouldn't send the messages half the time which could be quite annoying! And the pictures recieved would always be of poor quality :(
i've got my hands on 3.0 beta 2 and its a much nicer MMS system on there. Its very stylish too and its built into the messages app :) -
used swirly mms since 1.1.4, and it worls like it should work. No difference between this mms or mms on my sony ericson. Have bought swirlymms and had a update on my Iphone, still works like a charm.
If mms does NOT come to 1gen Iphone, I recomend this. -
All phones use the data not the gsm antenna that's why if you turn off the Internet service on a cell phone of any kind can't send mms messages. Also why every phone starts with pay per use Internet. So I don't know what apple is talking about with 1st gen models. Normal mms works the same as swirly that's why you have to enter the network mms settings to make it work and the whole switching phone thing, that's so they will provision the mms to work over the data network not the cell network.

Thanks Michael
That's useful information. I wonder why Apple mentioned it was a hardware limitation.
Also the other intriguing thing is that it's not straight forward to get MMS to work with AT&T with an iPhone plan.

Further support to my theory that this is just a sales pitch to sell the newer models and get people to ditch their old ones.

Well, I finally gave in and I'm now using the 3.0 Beta 2 and it's pretty darn good. Still minor glitches but that's expected seeing as its a beta. One downside is MMS is still locked on my account and although I attempted to create an account with AT&T I wasn't able to because my phone is linked with a business (to save money haha) and it prevents me from creating a normal account and when I go to create a business account, I can't. So I just have to wait until 3.0 is released to get MMS but the $8 I paid for 3.0 is still worth it!

I've used SwirlyMMS for almost a year and it is one of a handful applications that I use on regular basis, and I must say that I'm very pleased with it! It does what it is supposed to do and it does it good!
Also worth mentioning is that, after a firmware upgrade when I managed to mess up my iPhone and failed to re-install SwirlyMMS, I got really great and friendly support from the support staff! As I said I've been using SwitlyMMS for some time now (almost from the beginning) and the developers have added features and made it better with each new release. It will be very interesting to see what they will do to meet the competition from Apple's built-in function. From what I have seen from the screenshots of Apple's MMS app, I think SwirlyMMS may have a pretty future because better and more nice-have features. -
It's just disturbing that the most technologically advanced phone doesn't even have the most basic function: sending MMS messages.
So we patiently wait until ATT releases it in mid-summer.
But wait, I as well as many other pissed off users, have to upgrade to a 3G because apparently the 2G doesn't support MMS. And trying to go through the hassle of dealing with unintelligent techs at ATT to finally use Swirly MMS is highly irritating and time consuming.
And you wonder why we use ****...

IM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, 2G IPHONE /JAILBROKEN/3.1.2 FWARE . I JUST GET THE SAME ERROR

I have been trying to unistall SwirlyMMS from my phone for weeks and am getting nowhere. I refuse to pay for a license when there are other free apps out there. Unfortunately due to the fact that I still have swirly installed all MMS messages go directly to Swirly and I have no chance of reviewing them, as I have no license. Does anyone know how to uninstall Swirly from their phone. I do not want to erase all content and settings forcing me to jailbreak the phone again. When I try to delete Swirly I get the 1 of 2 error messages.
1. "com.swirlyspace.mmsv2" failed to uninstall
2. not enough memoryAny assistance would be greatly appreciated.
