1) Do SMS and MMS run on the same mechanism or pathway? What I mean is if I follow all the MMS thread's suggestions and instructions, will normal text messaging function? This is my main dilemma, I am paying for unlimited texting, yet do not have it... leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
2) Some of the reg. values/keys in this thread ( http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...ht=cricket+MMS) are not present on my device. The seller included a trial version of Resco Registry, which I have used to change many values... but it won't let me delete (not full version). What is another regedit program that is free?
#) I run ubuntu linux on my computer. I plugged the phone up to the computer... and my computer did not recognize that anything happened. The phone came with a CD... but I don't think any of the prorgams will run on a linux system. Does anyone know of syncing or recognition software that will work with ubuntu? Or should I use my roomie's PC... lol.
I did my best to search multiple forums out for the past day... but could use some direct, fresh answers. Thanks much.

As far as I know MMS SMS both run the same, fixes for MMS usually fix any text issues. I highly doubt you will get anything to run on linux ... at least i've never seen this option, windows xp is bad enough for sync, vista is better at sync but horrid for flashing IMO.

You might be able to do it with linux if you can mount a windows operating system to it, I would go with xp.
Try this one I've attached... I personally use Resco but it is not free.
