Ladysaat,
You can receive MMS and you are obviously signed up for the site to visit to view them. The problem lies in the sending part. Sprint is blocking this. Use sMMS from the PPC Programs section of the forum and use the username and password from the picmail site you just set up. Works like a charm for me to send MMS out.

That is what I realized after reading even more on different sites last night and this morning. Thanks for not calling me an idiot

I realize I was totally not getting the gist of the situation and rambling about nothing useful in those two posts. I do have sMMS now and it looks great. After flashing a new ROM it'll go on there.

The issue as it was communicated to me was that the Arcsoft program actually byp***** the Sprint gateway and went right to the MMS server itself. Which isn't allowed. So Sprint blocked it.

haha, while i appreciate all of someguymms's work, its the principal of the thing. people shouldn't have to jump through hoops just to get our phones to send picture messages. were using like the ultimate phones, and it cant do something a pick up and go phone can do. its just ridiculous.

For those interested, I wrote up a full story for WMExperts on the history and reasoning for the MMS block on Sprint as well as solutions.

Most of this knowledge is known to users here, but it is imo a great single-reference source for n00bs who want to play "catch up" & not have to read through thousands of posts

I talked to tech support yesterday and he referred me to this site. They definitely know people aren't happy. I thought he said there was a download on this site that is working to enabel that feature. Is there such a thing?
