The only reason you have to register for picmail, is because sprint is doing us a favor, by saving it on the website, even though its already been downloaded to your phone. So by having us register at sprint pic mail is only doing us a favor. If we didn't register you would get the pic on your phone then that would be the end of it. What if you lost your phone or something, sprint has all our pics that we send or receive backed up on sprint pic mail. I really don't understand all of the confusion, is it just because you have to register, is that the only thing from keeping people from calling it mms???

Someone quoted the manual saying registration was required to use the functionality. On other carriers, you don't have to register, because its just like SMS, billing and everything. The fact that registration seems to be compulsory suggests that the MMS on the phone is just intercepting the text messages alerting of a new MMS and downloading it from the site automatically, and to send pic mail it actually goes through the site.
