Re: Sprint Users: Want a working Picture Mail site? Here you go! WM6 ONLY

Unfortunately, for the time being, there really is no true MMS solution to the WM platform via SPRINT. From what I understand, their (SPRINT) MMS server will block any outbound messages that originate from a Windows Mobile OS. For those of you that use MMS quite a bit, there is a work around - a few extra steps, but it works.

Firstly, this is not true MMS. You have to email your pictures out. Why this is better is that you DO NOT have to remember the MMS domain for each carrier (vzwpix.com / attnet.com whatever). You will need an email account that has to be setup on your device - gmail, hotmail, whatever. Something that can send out and email. Once you have done that, attache your picture to an email and send it to <receiver's mobile number>@pktpix.com

The service is 100% free. The only thing I found is that they add a small line at the bottom of the message saying "powered by pktpix.com" - which I am fine with.

I have been using the service for about a week now with my Mogul, M1 (it does have MMS, but I wanted to try), Sanyo Katana (same story) and Nextel i580 and they all work great (to and from each device).

Enjoy and post any issues you guys have with it...
