At that point, the sprint network would think I was using a fusic, but I'd really be using a vogue. Theoretically, that might push those messages through. Seems like a lot of work for mms, though. haha
The Arcsoft Picmail program which PDA users used to send MMS messages used a servlet that was located on Sprints site, Just like they have send SMS from their site. Well, sprint actually removed that servlet from their site, with the intention of blocking PDA users.

Normal phones use a non-disclosed protocol for sending Picture Mail. That is why they continue to have this ability. If I knew this API, I would write an app in a second.
