For anyone thinking about Mbuni, I did a bit of research. I got all its dependencies compiled and built and was going over their docs, which are a bit convoluted and geared more towards mobile phone network provider.

It looks to me like you need some access to the provider's MMSC gateway on their network. And this can't be done over the internet. Using a teathered phone that can send SMS or an evdo card works supposedly but I have neither.

So that looks like a dead end, unless someone knows how to configure mbuni to send to other MMS gateways via email, but even then I can't see in Mbuni how you would tell it how to route a number to a provider's email MMS gateway.

Its a shame we can't dump the traffic on a phone that can send MMS and watch the handshake. I can't imagine they did anything complicated like encryption. Its probably just sending some sort of device id string and the MMS server is accepting or rejecting the connection based on that.
