How can I send a multimedia message (MMS) from the Apple iPhone?
Update: Apple iPhone 3G and 3GS now support MMS on AT&T. To activate MMS on your iPhone 3G/3GS with firmware 3.0 follow these instructions. If you wish to update your firmware to 3.1 then MMS should activate during the update process. One of the most perplexing feature omissions from the iPhone was the lack of support for the MMS protocol. One can only assume that this was a deliberate choice by Apple, though it is hard to determine why. Many users who are accustomed to snapping photos w/ their camera phones and sending those photos to friends and family via text/MMS messaging have been surprised to find out they can’t do the same with their iPhone. Thankfully, due to iPhone’s email capabilities – there is a workaround. In this day and age, almost all mobile phones have not only a phone number, but an email address. In fact, most mobile phones have two emails – one for plain text messages, and one for MMS. Using iPhone’s email picture function, you can still get your photos over to you
