As most everyone knows, one of the biggest downfalls of the iPhone is the missing picture messaging. I was reading through our forum and zachdrago had written how to send MMS or picture messages to AT&T users. I have done this before with Verizon but I thought it would be kewl to list all the services that allow for this feature. Basically the way it works is you put the person’s phone number before whatever domain name that company uses for picture or text messaging.
zachdrago’s instructions:
1) choose the picture you want to send, and hit “email photo.” 2) in the “to:” field type the person’s cell phone number followed by @mms.att.net. now send, it’s that simple. EX: 5552345678@mms.att.net
I’ll get a list started and as you let me know in the comments, I’ll add it to the list. Thanks zachdrago! Here’s the ones I know: Continue reading »

The text application on the iPhone lets you send SMS text messages to other cell phones. The design looks like two cartoon like chat bubbles talking back and forth. All past texts are always visible by scrolling up. I feel this looks is designed to feel more like chatting than texting which will increase text messages and make AT&T more money. Some downfalls to the text feature are no MMS texting. So no picture or video texting, and also no texting to a group. And you can’t receive picture texts either. You have to go to viewmymessage.com and enter a username and password that comes with the text to see the text. Links however are clickable within the text and will open right into Safari.

Joshua Bryant has designed some new matte SMS bubbles for texting. If you have Customize installed you can just make a folder in /private/var/root/Library/Customize/Chat1Images/ called Matte and copy them there. You’ll also want to do this for /private/var/root/Library/Customize/Chat2Images
You can Download the files here.
