My 30 day grace period wasn't up yet and this was the final thing that pushed me to Alltel and their version of the 6800. I had already had a couple of long, multiple-transfered, anger inducing customer service calls with Sprint already and when the cut this off, I canceled the service. I'll pay more at Alltel for the peace of mind that I won't have to make the monthly call to straighten out inevitable billing errors (and the working-out-of-the-box mms isn't bad either).

The part that is shocking to me is what a Sprint employee is posting. I understand that you want to support your company but you aren't helping anything with the comments you have made. You are saying that Sprint would knowingly charge people extra money for a service that they don't provide and that it is our own fault for paying the money and we aren't entitled to it back. I almost want to believe that you really work for another company and are just trying to stoke the flames of anger against Sprint and drive people to other carriers.

Well I want to know their reasoning why the centro can do MMS but the PPC cant.. the cenrto is unlocked and just as hackable as the PPC. So its not that we can take advantage of the unlimited internet and use alot of data any more than the centro can. My brother has the centro and hes hacked it to stream live tv from home (slingbox-like), so whats the problem letting us send a few pictures? Even streaming 2 2min youtube videos uses more data than how many pictures I send in a week. I bet thats pretty close to the same for the rest of the users.
Sprint cant say its because ours is designed for "email" SO IS THE CENTRO! Then they cant say its only for business because SO IS THE CENTRO! have you seen the commercials for the centro? Its just a bunch of clips of people in suits. And the centro comes with sprint tv and MMS. I know that if sprint plans on releasing a app for doing MMS and charging for it then there will be many here (internet land) working on making a hacked version just to spite sprint. And there goes all the money they might of made. So there is no point in even doing that. So anyone else try calling Mondrell yet? 703-433-4401 here is the case number to refeer them to. 1533986 I dont know if just anyone can add to it or not but give it a shot.

Only reason I use Sprint is cause I'm on the Sero plan, plus i get good coverage in Detroit. I'm now seriously thinking about going to AT&T or another provider. Like another person said earlier, its embarrassing to have a $500- $600 phone but can't send a simple picture. I had a friend ask me earlier to send them a pic of my 6 month old son, I had to explain why I couldn't.

What if someone built their own MMS server? then we could configue the app to point to that server.
When I was a regular @ SprintUsers, there was a guy who built a similar server....I'm trying to remember the details, but the jist of it was, the recipient of the text got the actual picture, not a link to Sprints PictureMail BS.

Mbuni
In case anyone didn't get the link...
http://www.mbuni.org/ "Mbuni implements all major MMS interfaces, including phone-to-phone (so-called MM1 interface), phone-to-email (MM3), inter-MMSC (MM4) and MMS VAS (MM7)."

The reality is likely that some suit came up with some insane reason to not support MMS in some phones, and then filtered some BS stories about why it "can't" work down into the support chain...
