Viewmymessage.com not working?

[pavvento]

+1 Also excellent idea!

I thought I recalled reading here somewhere, an idea about an app which would read the SMS message about viewmymessage, parse the userid and password, and open Safari with those values to pull the message. Someone said that's illegal, one app reading the value of a text message, as it violates the sandbox.

Part of your idea above sounds kinda like SwirlyMMS thru Cydia, I think, if I understand correctly.... Perhaps Apple would approve an app from AT&T.

I'm starting to feel like there has to be something in the contract that prohibits AT&T from making apps for the iPhone. This is just a hunch of mine, but you'd think by now that AT&T would be doing whatever it could to make a little more money off the iPhone.

AT&T navigator? AT&T ringtones? myaccount login? AT&T video? None of these exist. It could be because AT&T doesn't want to hire someone to develop for the iPhone, but a $75,000 salary isn't a big deal to a company like AT&T.

I didn't see this in another thread here, but according some folks at Howard Forums, ATT is dropping/has dropped www.viewmymessage.com completely for iphone (meaning you don't even get the basic text message with the login info).

I sent one from my work phone, but I since it literally has taken days for me get them in the past, I won't be able to judge the accuracy of this rumor until the weekend.

False alarm. I got the message with the login to that every so wonderful site.

I've been screaming this since I got the iPhone 3G the first week it was out. The features of this phone amaze me, but it sucks when someone with a 3 year old, free phone can get a picture through txt!

The other option, of course, is for the viewmymess.com link to actually include a REAL LINK to the media! Why should I have to type in a logon and password that's impossible to remember, that doesn't work half the team?

AT&T and Apple have really dropped the ball here! I can't believe how much I pay a month for no 3G, no mms and no 'bars' in my 1 story office building!

Action needs to be taken on the MMS issue -- but not by Apple.

AT&T* should gateway MMS transactions to an email address.

First of all, I hate can'tviewmymessage.com with a passion. There have been very well thought-out work-arounds for MMS that have been written in this thread. However, with all the carriers the iPhone is on, I believe they likely have been thought of already by the carriers. But still, no MMS. The only common denominator here is Apple. This has nothing to do with the carriers. For some reason, in no way, shape, or form does Apple want any kind of hint of MMS on the phone.
