sMMS v0.3 - Sprint Picture Mail Composer

This application can be used to send MMS (Picture Mail) for Sprint Customers. Messages will be sent via "Sprint Picture Mail". It should be an easy solution to the MMS issue, for most users. You still have the same limitations as Picture Mail, not Video support and only able to send JPEGs.

Supports sending messages to Phone Numbers or Email addresses. Messages sent to Email addresses will send a link. Which will allow users to view the pictures in their browser. Messages to Phone Numbers should work like anyother MMS for most providers, Sprint has a list of supported providers.

NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE A SPRINT VISION PLAN AND A PICTURE MAIL ACCOUNT SETUP. ALSO THIS DOES NOT ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR SPRINT PICTURE MAIL, IT JUST HELPS WITH A EASIER SENDING PROCESS. YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO USE PICTURE MAIL ON YOUR PC.

Oh yeah, this version will expire in a month. Since it is only alpha I don't want old version floating around, a pain to support.

FAQ:
Why do I need to use sMMS to send MMS messages?

A few months ago, Sprint blocked MMS sending using a PDA/PPC device. Sprint recommended that PDA users use the Sprint Picture Mail website. Great, for whatever reason they blocked MMS, they atleast offered a workaround/solution. sMMS helps users upload and send photos using their Picture Mail website.

So this actually uses Sprint's pic mail system/servers (ie the message is sent from your phone number vs annonymously over email)? If so, how did you get around Sprint's block? Can you access their servers over a different port than the Arcsoft software allowed or something? I guess Sprint's main issue was just the use of software that they had purchased the license for.

No I didn't find any special port or hack anything. sMMS is basically a browser that formats the Picture Mail website. To help send messages easier. sMMS is not a replacement for Picture Mail but you can use it along side of the Picture Mail website. Also it is sent from your, Picture Mail account, your number is attached just like if you used any other Browser. I imagine that it works that same as those Usage Today plugins.

How do I get a Picture Mail account?

"First check your account to see if you have a picture mail access. (i think if you have power vison you should have it..)

Next go to pictures.sprintpcs.com and click on login. put in your phone number and select "no send me a password". you should get a txt msg with your password. you can login to the site and change it from there.." Thanks Supadoggie

Sometimes sMMS resends the previous Pictures with my current Message.

Workaround: Log into Picture Mail and delete the Album "PixMailUpload", before you send another message.

What devices has it been tested on?

HTC touch, HTC Apache, HTC Mogul/Titan, Palm Treo 700wx
