Sprint Denies PPC customers from sending picmail

[billyman]

I keep reading people say they can still receive picture texts, but I can't view picture texts sent to me. When I receive one, it comes in the form of a link (like always). When I click on that link, the page loads, but the pic is not visable. I have to forward that text message to my home or work email and open the link on my PC.

Aditionally there's a lot of chatter about emailing pics, but I have tried sending myself a picture text by sending an email to <my10digit#@pm.sprint.com> and the text never is rec'd. Has anyone else experienced this?

One other thing and this might be a dumb question (but I'm dumb when it comes to this sort of stuff). If the MMS is just an IP gateway, and the vzw gateway is still working, why can't we just configure our phones to use the vzw gateway?

Nope. Maybe you never tried using picture mail before and have to initiate some sort of service to get it. I have been using picture mail long before I got my mogul and emailing a picture to that address works for me.

You might have to reset your user agent string.

maybe you need to set up your picture mail account. log into you sprint account online and click on the picture mail link.
