MMS for iPhone? It’s Already Here, Says Mobispine
Multimedia messaging (MMS) is within reach for iPhone users, or at least that’s what Mobispine AB is saying via press release today.
The Stockholm-based mobile services company currently provides white lable RSS reader and Desktop SMS and MMS solutions to companies looking to get their own branded mobile service. Today they announced that they are now offering yet another brandable service: MMS capability for the Apple iPhone.
The lack of MMS has long been one of the most glaring omissions in the iPhone’s feature set, and is available on much less advanced handsets from all major manufacturers. Third-party applications like Flutter have attempted to bring workaround solutions to the platform, but to limited success and with awkward restrictions on how messages are sent and received.
Mobispine’s solution is targeted at providers, not individual consumers. Essentially, it would add backend support for sending and receiving MMS from a carrier-branded MMS interface. This conveniently avoids the need for Apple buy-in, since individual operators would be the ones making the decision as to whether or not they will offer the service.
Apple still needs to OK the service implementation through the App Store approval process, however, since it would operate through a custom-branded native iPhone app. On the end-user side, iPhone owners will be able to create MMS messages from within the application, and attach photos saved to the iPhone’s hard drive, or new pictures taken with the iPhone’s camera. MMS messages will also be received via the Mobispine app, not in the iPhone’s built in SMS application. According to the press release, MMS messaging to and from all capable handsets will be possible, so non-iPhone users will not require any special software or have to visit any external links.
Since the decision to pursue the service is up to operators, it’ll be interesting to see who bites. Likely candidates are markets where more than one provider offers the iPhone, or where existing sales numbers indicate that the market appears saturated, and to get more customers requires offering some perceived value-add to justify an iPhone purchase. There’s also a possibility that carriers could charge for the additional service.
iPhone users: Is MMS important to you? Would you like to see your carrier implement this solution, or would you rather wait for an official Apple MMS service, if one comes at all? Would you pay for the MMS service if your carrier decides to charge a fee?

Uh…YES!! MMS is absolutely my #1 improvement request for the iPhone. How hard could it be to offer such a ‘basic’ service on such an advance platform?
Sam on November 19th, 2008 at 11:11 am
I can’t say it’s particularly high on my list of things that I want on my iPhone but it is annoying the odd time that I actually receive an MMS or want to send one to someone who doesn’t receive email on their phone. I definitely wouldn’t pay for it, but I would be interested in using the service if it was included in the iPhone contract. O2 used to operate a 4 SMS for 1 MMS policy where you could use your included allowance of SMS messages to send MMS messages at a rate of 4:1.

MMS has recently become more important to me. Since my divorce, I’ve made some new friends who love to send MMS messages. And they are doing this on their “free with a new plan” phones. While I’m stuck going to that God-Awful slow website (viewmysessageDOTcom) to see the pictures on my arguably expensive, cutting-edge phone.
And speaking of that website, another glaring omission from the iPhone becomes apparent: copy/paste. When someone sends me a MMS message, I have to either toggle back and forth between SMS and Safari, or jot down the provided username and password.
I really don’t understand Apple’s thinking with regard to MMS, and would rather not have to rely on a 3rd party app to provide a basic function that should have been there in the first place.
David B on November 19th, 2008 at 12:46 pm
I couldn’t care less about MMS, on my iPhone or any other phone.
kris on November 19th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
not a huge requirement for me. My wife has an email address entry for me and she sends me mms messages from her phone to mine. And I have her @mms.att.com in my address book and email pictures from my iPhone to that address. I receive her pictures as email and she receives mine as mms. This is a fine solution for us.
Matt Radel on November 19th, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Dude, MMS is a must. I’m not one to wave my iPhone about in an effort to be cool, but I still get harassed by folks with cheap-o Nokia phones.
“Dude, I’ll send ya this hilarious pic…oh wait, your iPhone doesn’t support MMS? Too bad… *laughter*”
Not to mention the fact that I’ve encountered many times when MMS would be a HUGE help. It’s at the top of my wish list.
mike on November 19th, 2008 at 2:04 pm
yeah, have your dudes ever heard of email?, i can send them 10 pictures at a time…can they do that with their MMS?.
MoBurkhardt on November 19th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
is this somewhat of a respons to telia’s anouncement of adding mms features to swedish iPhones?
gene on November 19th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
–
yeah, the lack of mms was, and continues to be, a huge mistake in my opinion.
why should the iphone be unable to do what every other phone can in this regard?
apple can say what they want…no one wants to be relegated to emailing pictures back and forth on the fly.
there is no upside to leaving mms off the phone. what were they thinking???
A.Fruit on November 19th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
Although Mike says he can send 10 pictures at a time, if he’s referring to an iPhone he’s wrong. iPhone (as far as I know) can only send a single image at a time via email.
However, his point is valid. I think MMS was an “in between” technology until email because ubiquitous. It still is not, but many phone have email capability, that the question begs: “Why MMS, when you could jest sent an email?” The answer in my perception, is simple: because most people don’t use email on their phone even if it can handle it. And MMS requires no set up. Just send your grandma an MMS (if your grandma has a mobile phone) and she’d be able to look at the picture without an setup, or configuration.
Email *is* superior to MMS, but it’s the users that are self perpetuating the need, and I think it becomes valid on this point alone.
Alex on November 19th, 2008 at 6:23 pm
I’ve never had a good experience with MMS on any phone. I have friends who use it regularly, and they often have to call their friends to get them to resend attachments one by one and fiddle with settings (or even better, get onto their carrier’s help desk to have magic network settings twiddled on the MMS servers).
Just use email.
Colin on November 19th, 2008 at 11:54 pm
MMS would definitely be helpful, but I’m not sure how much I’d be willing to pay. I’ll have to see what the price points are.
I do get lots of MMS messages and find it very difficult to get to the site. Oftentimes my fingers completely miss the password or the Message ID.
An alternative solution could be to allow users to link their phones and create an “account” at viewmymessageDOTcom with your own username and password. Then whenever an MMS message is received instead of having to put in a randomly generated Message ID one could just put in their username and password to see the most recent picture and any picture from the past, say, 30 days.
Obviously this wouldn’t be something that needed to be set up on the user’s side but rather the carrier’s side. I’m not sure if there are any real limitations, but I imagine if the technology to link a Facebook profile to a mobile phone number is available, than the capability to link a picture account to an MMS enabled number is also available.
Can anyone think of why this wouldn’t be done?
Nez on November 20th, 2008 at 4:33 am
Have you guys never heard of JailBreak and SwirlyMMS? http://www.swirlyspace.com/
Works like a charm!
cray on November 20th, 2008 at 10:02 pm
Im a huge apple fan that has been disappointed in macintosh’s attitude towards this iphone technology. Yes, as stated earlier, email is superior for sending a large photo. But superior isn’t always better. I love sending and receiving photos on my phone. My friends and I do it all the time. Receiving a photo via email just isn’t the same. I wish apple would stoop down a little and do what the people want and not just what they think the people should want. Trying to coerce us into accepting this as a transition is not cool. superior or not i won’t buy an iphone until they offer mms as a NORMAL function. Its completely ridiculous.
Dee Janis on November 21st, 2008 at 2:33 pm
I’ve been an Apple fan since the IIe but no MMS on the iPhone is ridiculous. Come on Apple, get with it and add MMS as a regular service…now.
NP on November 24th, 2008 at 7:45 am
I could not believe that MMS is not available – basic function. The more I get into the phone the more dissapointed I get. You can’t even build a group in the contacts for testing. After the initial gloss of the package, an average product emerges. Let’s hope apple release some decent upgrades soon
Jason on December 4th, 2008 at 6:11 am
MMS is already here, i am very surprised no one else has figured it out yet. i send MMS all day long, i have never unlocked my phone and never added anything more then iphone offers to me. all you have to know is the MMS address of the person you are sending it to.
Sending a message from Iphone AT&T is (phone number@MMS.ATT.NET)
Receiving is a little different because as all of us Iphone user know we cant except a regular MMS message. but you can receive them in your email, that is setup on your phone.
Receiving MMS from others— Sender needs to use your email address instead of your phone number. when on a different phone, it gives you the option to send a MMS message via email or phone.
so when i receive MMS i get them in my email and can reply back to them with no problem.
hope this helps some folks out.
anymore questions give me a shout or send me a picture at evaudio08@gmail.com
A.Fruit on December 4th, 2008 at 8:31 am
@Jason
So, presumedly, we’d just need someone from each of the major carriers to MMS us (using the email option), so we’d know what the email-address-syntax is to MMS them back (and other on those carriers.
I did have a hunch about this, because back when I had my old phone I used to MMS stuff to my email account to remind me about stuff later. (I also had ATT though, so I’m curious about other carriers and how well it works across them)
Sohag on December 8th, 2008 at 9:08 am
Of course MMS is important to me and that is also the reason I haven’t bought the IPhone yet, but will buy it ASA they’ll provide MMS, since on my plan I have 1000 sent MMS free and receiving always free with FIDO
Deodato on December 9th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
Yes, MMS is definitely lacking. It’s almost like the technology went backwards for a bit. That and along with the ability to forward texts messages. iPhone is a good product, just not thoroughly thought out.
bigmikebrooklyn on December 12th, 2008 at 9:47 am
mms, schmemms, how about they start with cut copy and paste, and work their way up the basic functionality ladder.
razzle on December 17th, 2008 at 6:07 am
HURRY UP AND GIVE US THESE BASIC FUNCTIONS!!!!
I want to be able to send a pic msg like i cud on my old nokia years ago!What a complete disappointment from apple AGAIN. We shouldnt have to be jailbreaking and messing about with AT & T it should just be intergrated bog standard as it is on every other phone on the market.
Come on apple pull your finger out!
The Unsilent Majority on December 22nd, 2008 at 12:41 pm
Not everyone can do email on their phones, but even the CHEAP OF THE CHEAP basic cell phones can do MMS!
Apple has totally screwed the pooch on this one! MMS and Flash {Safari} are ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL! Why this should even be a debate is beyond me! The iPhone shouldn’t have to “Catch Up” to the the dinosaurs! And NOBODY should have to pay extra for it!!!
YES YES YES! GIVE US MMS! YES YES YES! GIVE US MMS!…
Amandasaurus on December 27th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
Agree with The Unsilent Majority. Email is NOT standard on cell phones as of now, where MMS is. While some of my friends have phones with email, most don’t.
Kim on December 29th, 2008 at 12:00 am
Does anyone know the reason we DON’T have MMS? I mean, what’s the point anyway? It must be available yet simply not provided. It far exceeds the ridiculous website which amost never comes up on the first try, and even then, nothing can be saved or forwarded on. Many less expensive phones that don’t support email belong to our children, babysitters,employees,etc and we sometimes need this form of communication with them. Please, Apple, provide us with this service!
Peter on December 29th, 2008 at 4:15 am
I got an iphone for Christmas and I am struggling NOT to JailBreak it to get MMS service up and running, since it’ll be my last resort. I am hoping that Apple or some other App deveoloper decides to end this RIDICULOUS hole in the iphone tech. It’s supposed to be the ultimate phone, but lacks SO MANY of a modern day cell phone’s funcionalities…
Also, why I prefer MMS to e-mail? First, my standard e-mail account is an hotmail one that DOES NOT function via normal ways in the e-mail app that comes with the iphone. Second, I have to pay to log in the internet to send an e-mail. Thirdly, I get free MMS to the people I usualy sent, so it seems kinda stupid to pay for something that I am paying every month to get for free.
I WANT MMS ON iPHONE!
Harold on January 2nd, 2009 at 7:50 pm
Yes, Its important and its ridiculous that the iphone doesn’t have it. And no, i wont pay another blanking cent for crap that should be included like it is on all other phones. Iphone needs to get a clue on just a few more basic ideas and it will be the best phone without a doubt.
MMS,
Copy and Paste,
Multiple signatures for multiple email address
Blackberry and Treo have been doing this for YEARS!!!!!!
Ginger on January 5th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
I am surprised that there is so much discussion over the merits of MMS. It is a standard feature on most phones, phones at a fraction of the cost of the iPhone and continues to have a stronghold for the vast majority of users. Email and MMS are two different functions and can not be fairly compared here. What I believe Apple has overlooked is the demand for MMS, as well as its universal compatibility across carriers. For a phone that boasts ease of use and advanced functionality, it is hard to swallow the restriction of using email to send multimedia (not including sound or video) and receiving multimedia via a third party site requiring laborious access codes. And without the ability to forward what you get, it seems as though Apple does not understand its market. iPhone users pay plenty for the use of their phones. The suggestion of more fees is insulting. MMS should be added. Period.
Rachel on January 6th, 2009 at 9:48 pm
YES Apple/ATT should provide MMS in my unlimited data/SMS pkg and NO I am NOT willing to pay an additional monthly fee for it.
Ryan on January 19th, 2009 at 11:28 am
Why hasn’t this come out yet??? Good gosh! How much longer must we wait?! LOL Publish this app!!!
amanda on January 20th, 2009 at 11:56 am
i would never have purchased an i-Phone had i realized it didn’t support MMS. i rarely get to see my brother, so he is the top person with whom i exchange pics. he doesn’t have e-mail and sending pics to the e-mail “address” on his phone doesn’t work. i have to borrow my husband’s blackjack to send him pics. a huge and stupid omission from what is supposed to be a cutting-edge phone. i’ll be getting rid of this as soon as my long two-year deal ends.
Elfbane on January 21st, 2009 at 1:50 pm
people. All phones can send to yor email. Doesn’t matter. Your phone reads it as an MMS, but our Iphones get it as an email. you can reverse the situation as well. I do it all the time for my students when they need a photo from their phone printed out. it IS easier if someone emails you from their phone, then you have their special phone address. simply attach to their contact and tada, mms. Flx are sill a problem though.
Mario on January 26th, 2009 at 9:10 am
I was really bummed to find out that my brand new, expensive phone didn’t have MMS capabilities. I have become so accustomed to having that feature that now I feel like I’m behind when people send picture messages. Not only that, but when I do get the link to view my message it times out on Safari. So I have to wait til I get home, visit the site and login. What a waste of time.
Ravyn on January 27th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
Yes, it is a high priority and frankly it’s unforgivable that basic phones offer this feature while something as advanced as the iPhone does not. That’s just ridiculous. As far as paying for it, we already do. We pay our fee for text messaging and NO there should not be additional fees for MMS, it’s the same as text messaging, end of conversation. The bandwidth usage is AT&T’s problem not the customers. Maybe a restriction on the size of images being sent would be fine but to charge additional to the already steep pricing of paying to send basic text messages is enough.
Sabre30 on January 28th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
MMS yes! oh, on iPHone? duh, why isn’t it there?
oh yea, let’s see, i spend 29.95 on cheap phone with at&t high end phone plan, and that has MMS!
or
i can spend 469 on expensive iPhone and keep the same at&t high end plan…. oh, but i get opted out of MMS for free!!
isn’t that nice of them at APPLE to determine what i desired?
Jocke on January 29th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
The cool thing is that the CEO for this is my neighboor :) kinda cool huh? we in sweden are getting it anyways…how about you AT&T guys in the states?
Jessie on February 3rd, 2009 at 2:19 pm
MMS on the iPhone!!! http://www.fetchmms.com/
Sam3G on February 4th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
Going to viewmymessage.com and typing in a jumbled password every time I want to view an MMS sent to me is ridiculous considering how expensive the iPhone and it’s service is. I was severely disappointed with Apple and AT&T for not providing such a simple service.
joe on February 6th, 2009 at 12:24 pm
I completely hate the fact that i can’t get text pictures or video without going to the viewmymessage webpage. This webpage doesn’t always work properly, it’s tedious and frustrating. This is the single worst feature of this phone/service. When can customers like me look forward to normal text mms like every other phone/service on the planet? While all my cool Blackberry and LG friends are looking at their pictures, laughing and replying, I am lost like a complete a-hole, searching for a computer to log into so I can go type in http://www.viewmymessage.com/2, the worst web page ever created, and pray i get the archaic message id and password right. Then, even when I do type the string of random log in characters correctly, it will return me to the login screen as often as not – and I never even see the picture! Then my friends think I’m a jackass and they go to Fridays without me where they will joke and laugh and text all night at my expence. This mms webpage thing was just a horrible idea. Who came up with this and why? I know the economy is bad, and unemployment is at an all time high, but this idiot should be fired immediately. This problem is enough to make me get a Blackberry or Nokia and go to Verison. Ugh! What’s the point of making customers go log into that awful awful awful webpage to see a tiny picture? I just can’t bring myself to use this retarted feature anymore. If I can’t get text pictures on my iphone soon then I am going to kill myself by jumping naked off of an at&t building. Is At&t/Apple prepared to bear the emotional burden of knowing you prematurely ended the promising life of a valued customer? I hope not.
IMPISSED on February 7th, 2009 at 4:51 pm
I just bought an iphone 2 days ago, i WAS using a crappy, almost generic local cellular service which had UNLIMITED EVERYTHING including mms on a piece of crap flip phone. I now have “the best” phone and cannot do what my old phone did?! RETARDED
Tracy on February 7th, 2009 at 10:15 pm
Lol! This is crazy! Sure we can send an mms if we know what carrier all 100 people we text have. Or we can use an app to shortcut that process. But to receive them they need to be sent to our email. No one knows my personal email because its for business only. And my fiance and both got this phone but the shortcut doesnt work with our phones only with non iphone users! I have already been told by my brother “hey dont send me pics like that i dont have free internet”! But mms is included in his text mess package! Hope someone makes an app that works the right way!
paulie140 on February 9th, 2009 at 11:33 am
Another ridiculous omission from Apple through both generations of the iphone.
But wait, they will likely announce the addition of MMS in the 3rd addition and get huge praise and wild applause from the MacWorld Expo for doing what should have been done from the start. Oh, and video? It’s capable, but blocked? Another rabbit up the sleeve I suppose. Why else would anyone buy the “new” iphone?
Ridiculous is the only word that comes to mind.
Kelso on February 10th, 2009 at 6:15 pm
I agree. What was apple thinking not putting a MMS service on their phone. Not everyone can afford an iPhone so the sending it via email just doesn’t cut it. Don’t get me wrong I’ve only had my iPhone a few weeks and I love it, but it dose get anoying when my little sisters phone that doesn’t have email, is a go phone, and dies on her almost daily has the MMS capability. So I say the sooner the better for iPhone. I know of atleast 10 people who want the iPhone but are waiting on the MMS software to be there so the can send and revive MMS. AND NO!!!! I SHOULD NOT AND WILL NOT PAY EXTRA TO USE WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE FROM THE START!!!!! $30 a month for Internet and text and then more $ for MMS. NO ¥£€% way!
Chris on February 10th, 2009 at 9:28 pm
Oh and we can land planes in the Hudson, bailout the banks and let them throw 100thousand $ parties, or spend a million redecorateing their office. But apple and at&t can’t put MMS on the supposed best high quailty phone on the market where’s this world headed. Pluto?
bob on February 13th, 2009 at 11:59 pm
Lets call it like it is.
This is a tragedy and a disgrace. My phone 2 upgrades ago (4 yrs) could send, receive and forward pix msg free up to my limit. I agree with the other posts on lacking other basic functions too. I know Apple is all about keeping it simple and that fine on the gui but there should always be available options in the settings. I actually didn’t research this glaring omission, because I ‘assumed’ that the iphone would support mms technology, imagine my surprise. This could actually be a deal breaker for me, not because I use pix messaging all the time, but I do sometimes. and why shouldn’t I have the ability to do so on the supposed top of the line phone on the market.
And thank you but I don’t want to hear how great and superior the email photo option is. Its not superior when it comes to convenience, or being compliant with the other 95% of the mobile phone wielding public. Workarounds are a pita, and why should I use software to correct a problem Apple should have built in?
Its not like you can only have one or the other here–email photo or mms. So whats the problem. This is like saying well bluetooth is ’superior’ to the corded head phones so the iphone won’t have a head phone jack, so sorry.
My take on the iphone has changed and not for the better. At first I got it as a phone that would have some cool gadgets to go along with it….now its primarily a gadget device that has an inferior phone attached. :/
Utterly horrendous
jj on February 14th, 2009 at 2:53 pm
YES! I think iphone should have MMS sending and receiving capability, but NO, we shouldn’t pay for it, it’s such a basic and standard feature in the cheapest of cell phones. The iphone should have carried this from the beginning. I was shocked to find out after I bought it that MMS was not part of it, and the salespeople don’t mention such basic things, even when I asked is there anything the iphone doesn’t do that a regular cell phone does.
Lou on February 21st, 2009 at 3:04 am
When it comes to customer service, I’ve always believed in giving customers what they want. Not what you THINK they want, or SHOULD want. I completely agree with #45 bob that iphone is, “primarily a gadget device that has an inferior phone attached.” When I got my first picture text, imagine my surprise when I was told to retrieve it at viewmymessage.com, which is akin to a virtual hell. I can’t believe that crappy service even exists, let alone is affiliated with an Apple product! And the legions of Steve Jobs-worshipping Apple fanbois who insist that MMS technology is “inferior” to email don’t get the point. I love that my iphone makes it easy to access my email. I HATE that my iphone doesn’t give me the option to choose MMS. And while including the provider-appropriate domain(@mms.att.com, for example) is ok for a few people you regularly contact, but unrealistic for the dozens of people on my contact list who I don’t regularly contact, but like to keep in touch with from time to time. The iphone does not afford me with the sponteneity to easily receive an MMS from some old Army buddy (who has a phone with MMS) who I haven’t heard from in forever, who randomly sends me a picture to break the ice of 2 years without contact. Instead, I would receive a text prompting me to “viewmymessage”, then I would have to text my friend back and ask him to email it to me. And sometimes, someone just sees something they want to share RIGHT NOW. In this fast-paced world, is it really too much to ask Apple to provide an application that so many people want, and is easily within the reach of their technology? To paraphrase what I said earlier, “Don’t give customers what you think they want, or what they should want. Just give them what they want. Any questions, comments, or snide remarks can be sent to itsalljuststuff@mac.com. Peace
dumbfounded on February 26th, 2009 at 3:06 pm
Absolutely ridiculous that apple prevents AT&T from providing this service. This is why I am not a MAC user. Someone wrote somewhere. “Would you buy a Dell PC if you could only install Dell software on it?” A great question in my opinion.
The functionality already exists. As SwirlyMMS users have found out with AT&T adding net media usage to their plans…. But the cat’s out of the bag and AT&T are now not adding it to customer’s plans for fear of their breach of contract with Apple.
And so we have to wait for a compnay like Mobispone to go through the “approval” process with Apple to have an app in their limited and restrictive “Store”.
Well ok.. We can wait….. BUT if they have the &*lls to try and charge us for this application do they have any concept of how much the makers of Blackberry, Treo and others are going to thank them?
Chris on March 3rd, 2009 at 9:28 pm
If AT&T will just allow MMS on our accounts, I wouldn’t need this app. Then I could finally get SwirlyMMS to work and everything would be GREAT! Although I’d prefer having an MMS app directly from Apple, I’m not sure if that’s going to happen (or at least any time soon). SwirlyMMS is the next best thing, if I could just get it working. :(
RYAN on March 4th, 2009 at 10:59 am
When I received a text from my very attractive girlfriend who is out with her friends that says “did u get the pic I just sent you? we’re naked!” I was a little disappointed to say the least. that’s it…I want MMS
Pete Frazier on March 11th, 2009 at 12:19 pm
Why the hell doesn’t ATT detect inbound text messages as MMS and re-route them to email???? Really couldn’t be all that difficult. Seems like they could package a dedicated email address with an application interface smilar to FetchMMS to route outbound MMS messages via the recipient’s carrier-specific phone email address. This would effectively bypass Apple’s moronic no MMS stance.
The iPhone is an amazing, break-thru device, the kind that really fosters fundamental change. It’s facinating to me that the iPhone’s greatest strength AND biggest limitation are both that it is produced by Apple. Without Apple’s cult following, the App store would just be a handfull of crummy games costing $9.99ea. yet it’s Apple’s inane business policies that keep it from becoming truly great, much as they have relegated Apple’s computer products to a few select niche markets.
Pete Frazier again on March 11th, 2009 at 3:09 pm

Cro-Magnan – Utterly non technical, just discovered fire, owns a rotary-dial cell phone.
A recent conversation….
Cro-Magnan: U get cool pic me just send to phone?
Me: No, I have an iPhone, it doesn’t get MMS’s
Cro-Magnan: What is MMS? I no get note say u can’t get pic.
Me: Uh, yea…it doesn’t tell you I couldn’t get it, it just never gets delivered.
Cro-Magnan: Ugh! Why U pay 400 rocks and 40 rocks a month for iPhone then?
Me: Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Tai on March 14th, 2009 at 4:38 pm
Some people can’t understand Apple’s way of thinking in refusing to implement MMS. It’s clear that their way of thinking is this. “If people keep buying the iPhone, why bother lifting a single finger to give them MMS…or cut/paste or anything else we don’t feel like?”
Apple, I will never buy another one of your products again…EVER.
Their arrogance astounds me. They claim to be the best but they leave out MMS and a zillion other basic features out of their “cutting-edge” phone that zillions of their customers are begging for? Unbelievable…
I’m gone for life Apple…I hate you.
Phuong on March 20th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
HECK NO!!!!! im already paying for unlimited messaging y would i have to pay more for that!!!!!
Aaron on July 24th, 2009 at 8:13 am
Sorry to disapoint but it’s not apple that sucks. It’s the carrier AT&T
iPhone is mms ready. Says it on the how to turn it on. Unfortunitely AT&T doesn’t let you. $100 a month for crap service is awesome.
