iPhone UK MMS ? Come On For Gods Sake !

Enigmah said:
When I bought my first iphone on realease date in the uk I understood that MMS would not be coming, I spoke to the Apple genius people and they explained that the amount of programming needed to get an MMS message from a 3G phone to and iPhone with EDGE was emense therefore O2 would probably not do it........

However, I now have the 3G iPhone which is obvioudly 3G and would like the ability to send and recieve MMS, The ability to Forward received SMS would also be a welcome treat aswell !!!!

Before I get loads of replies saying why would I want MMS when I can send full sizes images via email, the answer is, Because I DO !!!

A lot of my friends send me MMS and I can recieve them via the brilliant site by Ross McKillop - http://o2mms.net/ but I just want it to be a standard feature of the iPhone in one of the next firmware upgrades.

To all UK iPhone user that want a easy way to see recieved MMS without going through the O2 MMS portal, use the site above, I think its awesome....

garybUK. Thanks for putting me onto this service, registered, made a donation and I'm away. Not really fussed about sending MMS but this really bridges the gap on the odd occasion that I get one.

MMS is hardly the bread and butter of the teleco industry in any country. You're just not seeing the forest through the trees, Like it or not, MMS is dead or at least dying. More and more smartphones that offer full email will see to that.

Your view is the same as when SMS/Texting came out and people were all in arms. "Oh no, how can I send short text messages to my friends who can't see them or send them back?" "Woe is me."

If a third-party App Store app could offer this functionality, fine. But there are still enough features that the iPhone lacks (landscape text, copy & paste, etc) without people QQing about a feature that is soon to be obsolete.


Also, I think I know what I'm talking about. I lived in Singapore/SE Asia for 8 years till a few months ago and texting/SMS/MMS was big there far longer than the UK or USA. MMS was good for what it did but it really is a function headed for extinction. RIP.
