picturemail + wifi - data

[Brett8187]

on sprints family messaging plan it says:

This plan includes

• Unlimited messaging: Text, pictures and videos

but if you don't have data (which doesn't come with this plan) you can't receive and send pictures. is there anyway to use the wifi to do so? 3rd party?

The pictures and videos that they are talking about is Sprint's Picturemail which I believe is classified by sprint as messaging which obviously includes text messaging.
So those features are not considered part of the internet/data package.
If you use Arcsoft for MMS that is not considered by Sprint as part of Sprint messaging so since it uses your data connection then you should have a data plan if you choose to use it.
If you wanted to use wifi for MMS you would probably have to make adjustments to the application in your devices registry or alter the app itself.

You can use this to send over wifi.

I have used it before and it works to send and receive picture mail. You can also receive video mail, but not send it.
Just make sure your connection settings are set to "My Work Network," so that it doesn't automatically try to connect to data.

I remember that app it is just a browser for the sprint picturemail website.

for Sprint you can always just email using wifi to NUMBER@pm.sprint.com and attach whatever pics to the email. The other carriers each have their own email MMS gateways...
