Send MMS Messages from iPhone

Saturday, July 14th, 2007 | Apple, Tech

Here’s the hint: send an email with a photo attached to att-phone-number@mms.att.net from your iPhone

I use MMS messaging to send my phone pictures of my son to my parents who live out of state but don’t have regular access to email. I was most disappointed to learn that iPhone doesn’t send MMS messages natively and I wasn’t sure how I was going to make this work. I tried to help my father set up his Cingular 3125 Windows Mobile email account. But I was trying to help him over the phone and Windows Mobile is simply awful and he couldn’t understand what I was asking him to do and I couldn’t tell where he was by icons or descriptions alone. For example, XM settings is the email settings I was looking for but I disregarded this menu item because I thought that it was satellite radio settings. Silly me, what was I thinking?

Anyway, I’ve tested it out with a couple of people this morning and it works. This is definitely a breakthrough moment for me because everyone I’d be sending an MMS to are on AT&T’s network. If VZW, T-Mobile, and Sprint have @mms email address you can use then I don’t see why this wouldn’t apply to them as well.

This does not work with Verizon. They are blocking the email.
