I agree that it is an oversight on Apple's part, but I really don't see many people leaving the iPhone over this issue.
Of course it works in the AT&T network. i do it all the time. And if they other user has an iphone just email it to their regular email. Why is this difficult for people?

Have you ever had any problems with it? It only seems to work for me when I use a wireless network. It will send on edge but sometimes the person won't get the pic.
my whole thing is i don't even get the text message that says someone has sent a mms to my phone, so people have probably been sending me pics and i haven't gotten them, so a mms app would be amazing, and it wouldnt be that hard, just take photoswap and make it so you can send it to an address/phone number rather than the servers.
plus if there is an mms app, no one is going to be upset about it, but since theres not many people are upset, wouldnt apple rather have people happy rather than unhappy?

I don't get WHY it's so hard for Apple to include MMS? How long would it truly take to program?
I don't see myself or anyone else leaving the iPhone because of the lack of MMS, but it TRULY pisses me off.
A LOT of my friends and myself included are in college, we like to send quick picture messages, and I like to receive them.
It is kinda frustrating and "embarassing" when you have an iPhone and can't receive or send MMS...
Oh well, Installed SwirlyMMS a few days ago and all my problems are gone... best $8 i've ever spent.

I think we should be complaining to ATT. Although it is a problem sending pictures, but there's at least away around it. Receiving pictures is a different story. I know I could have someone just send the picture to my email, which I do, but they just never remember to do it or are just too lazy. I wish ATT could have someway of receiving the pictures to go to our email address we provide to them.
Short answer: No
Long answer: Yes but you have to jump through so many hoops and even then it will probably only work for a while until AT&T does a sweep and changed everything back to normal

In the UK there's" iPhone MMS" They just changed there name can't remember what it used to be called. It's pretty good. I can recieve mms no bother and to send it's a one off text to the developer that's costs £1.20 I think.
Just google iPhone mms uk!

You're right, we should be complaining to AT&T. I already have a few done this a couple of times. This last time, I asked them if they were going to develop their own or license an MMS app, and they basically ignored the question. I politely told them how user-unfriendly viewmymessage was and they basically apologized (that's all).
But, I think this is a good idea and likely will render more results than the Apple feedback website.
You're given the closest thing we have to a solution to this "problem" and all you can do is complain?
Is this really the state of humanity? For now, this is the solution: Know the carriers or do a straight-up e-mail.
Exactly. I am afraid I am not Steve Jobs so I cannot give you Apple/AT&T MMS. I gave you a way, that I have had great success with. Take it or leave it.
Your solution i not much good to the original poster who is based in the UK
Not aiming this at you in particular, but, its about time people realised the iPhone is available in more countries than the US, if someone from the UK asks a question what has ATT got to do with it ?
I gave a pretty good solution a couple of posts up!!! UK only!!!!!! seems there is costs for sending but to receive its free

It is not completely free to receive because you have to make a one off donation via PayPal for continuous use and be warned there are no guarantees the service will stay online.
Not sure if this now works with other carriers in the UK
I have just sent an MMS from my Virgin Mobile to my email address and it has worked
It gets a very bizare email address, about 40 random characters followed by @mmsreply.virginmobilemessaging.co.uk
I can reply to this and it works but if I use
xxxxxxxxxxx@mmsreply.virginmobilemessaging.co.uk it fails

Because Americans believe that they make up 97% of the entire world and 100% of the world that matters.
Indeed.
I remember in the film Evolution there was a line that went "soon the monsters will cover the while of America, and whe whole world will be destroyed"
No. I don't think Apple are even bothering with an MMS App, they certainly haven't let them onto the App Store. I just don't think they care.
