Has anyone ever been succesful at getting a picture on their iphone using the website that it gives you when you received a picture. I have tried numerous times with different pictures, and with different iphones and everytime it just takes me right back to the sign one page. Am I doing something wrong? By the way I have tried on the iphone and on a comuter and the same problem happens.

I have on occasion with a PC. Most of the time even that's shaky.

The sad thing is that we cant even complain because no one would listen. I check my data plan with AT&T, it says I have unlimited "TEXT" messages not MMS, so they are not lying, they are just putting out a bad product. This sucks....

You don't need MMS on the iPhone because it can receive photos through it's email client just fine.

Ok...but say for some strange reason one of the 2 billion people that have cell phones that aren't iphones and still send pictures via mms sends me a picture. How can we ever see it if we cannot get the picture using a web browser? So the original question stands, has anybody ever had any success?

lol yeah it was funny. BUT he is right.In order for you too receive MMS they need too have it also too start with. As for receiving pics through ur Brower.. Why would you use ur Phone browser too look at photos.

Chris, alot of the people that I know have a MultiMedia package, that gives them say 200 messages, either picture or text. So they can send me a picture even without having a data package to go online. As far as using the phone browser to look at the pictures, well that is what you are doing when you click on the link and enter the username and password it gives you. You are opening a web browser. I hope this explains it a little better. I know that you cant receive or sendt Pictures using your iphone, I just wish that the alternative they offer (Web Browser) would work.

For the one MMS I recieved, I was able to view it on the browser. Very annoying process, but I was able too.

It must be one of those things that works sometimes and it doesnt others. I have gotten used to the idea of not getting MMS but that time has come were I have needed someone to send me one or I needed to send one and havent had the ability to, either becasue they didnt have a web enabled phone or I just simply took the picture and showed them later. Kind of a bummer. But we will get used to it.

You know I rarely need to do MMS, but it really shouldn't be something that we should just get used to. If they don't want to support MMS, I guess that's their decision, but at least make the website to get the pic reliable, which I hear its anything but.
