Don't you think they would use a private server they had control over to prevent logging?

Sprint's "anti-spam" argument is simply a rumor that was generated by some customer-facing rep that wanted to say something clever and believable to take the heat off themselves.
I have a thought, not a good one but whatever.
What server are these programs using to send MMS messages, why can't we use arcsoft to send using these servers insteads of sprints?

Remember to say when someone helps you out.

Open thread without searching > waste server usage > waste energy > higher gas prices
Think about the economy the next time you feel the need to open a useless thread. Think about it.
