iPhone Tips & Tricks: Send and receive MMS on your iPhone
You might already know it but when I read this trick over at iPhone Central @ MacWorld, I thought of sharing it you. One of the features missing in the iPhone is it's lack of integrated support for MMS. If you were used to using MMS in your previous mobile...

Now I can send MMS messages but what about receiving them? Does anyone know the POP3 information for doing so?
-
I have tried numerous times to send a picture through email on my iPhone, and it doesn't work. The receiving phone (a Motorola Razr), gets the text and the subject of the message but no picture. This is very aggravating, as I send a lot of pictures and it's not working!!!

this did not work for me. my friend has verizon and i got a failure notice sent back to my iphone.
-
worked, i send one to my other att cell and its worked.
-
Is there any trick to send a text message to an email address? This function sure would be nice. My last couple phones did this no prob.
-
Why do people keep posting these useless "hints" EMAIL is NOT MMS.
-
This works great, but one downfall is that it doesn't count as "in network" messaging for your friends when they send you picture messages. Pretty lame Apple/AT&T
-
I still cannot send or recieve pictures!!! I keep getting the message that the connection to outgoing server "imap.emailsrvr.com" failed? What does that mean and how do I fix it? I am amazed that with all the technolgy this phone has, that it can't simply send or get pics????
-
It worked for me!...iPhone to Razr, Razr to iPhone.
Perfect!! -
well all this talk of mms there has been an application developed called swirlymms which will allow you to sed out mms messages the recive funcation has yet to be desined hoped this helps.
Jailbroken iphone need to run this app

I have a much better idea. If you guys have Installer, install the application "Swirl MMS" you can send pics as long as there is Wireless Internet. Just recently i started receiving Picture Messages, however; I have not figured out to which file or folder the pics go to. Thanks to Adel Hallak for this info!

Emailing totally works for me. I send my boyfriend pics all of the time, he has Verizon and it always works. We still haven't figured out how to get it to work for him sending me pics though.

Hey guys,
Follow my instructions and thank me later...here you go:First you need the Application Swirly MMS- add this from
Swirly's source - swirlyspace.com/SwirlySpace.xml and add version 0.3.2.
Install the package named "SwirlyMMS from Swirlyspace", ver 0.3.1. Follow the installation instructions (which means you must restart your phone when installation has finsihed)Then go to Settings and fill out this info:
you can find settings for other carriers on other blogs.T-Mobile (USA)
MMSC: 216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
MMS-APN: wap.voicestream.com
User: empty
Pass: empty
A screen will display that you need to install Mobile finder/Mobile Viewer to be able to see pictures. Go ahead and go to installer, all packages, scroll all the way down to Mobile Finder, install it, then go back and install Mobile Viewer.
Now you are done! Have someone send you an mms. It should show under Swirly MMS. Open it then click fetch. It will download then display this message:"all fetched mms-files are stored in/var/mobile/media/mmsfiles"
Click the menu button. Now you are on your home screen. Scroll to see the icon “Preview” and click it. Click “Open” . you will then have 5 folders displayed:
1. …
2. Bin
3. Lib
4. Library
5. MediaDouble click on the folder “…” then click on folder “mobile” then folder “media” then folder “MMSfiles” then BINGO! All your received pictures are there!!! Good Luck… Big Thanks to Adel Hallak.

Does anyone know what e-mail to use to send MMS to networks outside of the US?
Vodafone ES
Movistar ES
Orange ES
Yoigo ESAre the ones i'm interested in... thanks :D

FYI- you do not need Mibile Finder or Mobile Viewer if you have the New Swirly...i think most ppl have that now!
-
do u have to pay for the new Swirly? how can i have it for free?
-
on the new version of swirly do you have to know your carrier's mms settings? also do you have to have an active mms plan with your carrier?

I tried to send an MMS to an alltel phone e-mail (phone#@message.alltel.com) and all she got was text that said picture.jpg the picture didn't show up
-
I'm trying to locate the address after the @ for metropc, does anyone have a clue?
Thanks
-
does it cost like a text message to send a pix message through email but have it appear a a pix message on the other phone?
-
does anyone have att and atleast now the correct working settings if u do please please let me know for swirly
-
Do not get swirly if you are on AT&T. This trick is using what's called an SMS gateway. Wiki it and you will get all the info you need including a comprehensive list of international carrier gateway addresses. Keep in mind that some carriers have two addresses, one for SMS and one for MMS.
Sending a text to an email address is as easy as putting in an email address instead of a phone number.
Hope this helps. Cheers.
