Listen to the Dawg - he is wise.

Sprint BB = no MMS.

Sprint allows it on their cell phones, but not on the BlackBerry devices.

Its funny that the Curve for Tmobile sends MMS but Sprint does not, also I was informed that none of the Smartphone from Sprint send MMS, I wonder why they do that???????

But anyway I want to thank you all for the info.

Sprints whole SMS/MMS system is jacked. Whenever you send a MMS to a sprint phone all they get is a link to view it online, not the actual picture message itself. They used to have where you had to go online just read a stinkin SMS. I think they fixed that though.

You can MMS Text on the Verizon 8330 .. Hurray!!! ... Verizon turned this feature of on the 8830 "because it didn't have a camera" ... Not trying to rub it in.

Nextel had MMS working just fine (for BB's) prior to the merger with Sprint. You would think Sprint would simply implement a solution similar to what Nextel had for MMS. I guess that would be too easy!

Ok I found out how to do it if you know who is the person you are trying to text is on.
SMS 411: How to send email to a phone

Let me know if this helps anyone. You can save the address as an e-mail to make it work,

Does anyone know if you can attach a photo / video to an e-mail and then send it through a web portal to flip it to a phone number?
