MMS problem!! no data plan!

Hey guys,

So, I put helmi's kitchen on my apache. I have MMS on there, but it doesn't work. The thing that might be problematic is I have no data plan. The only access to the web I have is through the WIFI connection. Picture mail seems to try and do something then...I recieve something...but not in the form of a picture of video. Is there anyway I can have MMS without a data plan? Thanks!

Re: MMS problem!! no data plan!

Correct, w/o a data plan you cannot to true MMS. You will have to do your pics over email whether is be POP of HTTP. It sucks and we all know this but thats just the way it is.

Re: MMS problem!! no data plan!

Someguys "sMMS" <----if you are on Sprint

http://67.228.199.237/forum.ppcgeeks...ad.php?t=22509

will also work with Wifi and is a very simple MMS program and a must have if you are on Sprint, I have sent friends MMS with wifi so i know it works, Sprint has a $5.00 PictureMail Service but at .03kb it can add up but I dont know if using wifi to will also charge you for accessing Picmail, to me it would be "No" if you are using Wifi instead of Vision..but you better ask a sprint rep on that. So if you dont get charge...all it will be is $5.00 with Wifi access to access picmail.

http://pictures.sprintpcs.com/options.do

You will still need Picmail Service to use "sMMS" cause you need to enter your "PhoneNumber and Password" to your Picmail account.

Re: MMS problem!! no data plan!

Well, I have a 6700 with verizon, and no data plan, and I figured out that i can get MMS thru the standard mail system, but what would happen is, when it tries to connect to data service, if i'm in EVDO it will fail. so since i'm only using wifi for real data, i forced the phone into 1x mode, and i can send and receive MMS just fine. connecting data for MMS isn't charged even without a data plan. as long as you have pix/flix msgs enabled on your account. hope that helps

edit: just remember to disconnect from data service after you send, and or receive the message

I do the same thing with mine. Wife has a 'normal flip-phone' and we have Pix/Flix on our account. I don't have the data plan. Can send MMS back and forth just fine. Can send and receive mms from anyone for that fact.
