Although an Apple iPhone can take the place of several different devices such as your MP3 player and even your desktop computer with the ability to surf the internet it still has a primary function of being a cell phone to fulfill. This means that there are several things that you would expect it to do. A major advantage that the iPhone offers is that it provides you with an extremely quick and easy way to send text messages.

However, if you are used to being able to communicate to your friends and business partners through text and multimedia messages, or MMS, you may find yourself being extremely disappointed with the iPhone. The reason for this is because throughout all of the major improvements and superior features of the iPhone, it still lacks one simple feature. This feature is the ability to send MMS text messages, such as video and picture messaging. When many users first discovered the lack of this feature, there was an outcry because so many people rely on this means of communication to keep their contacts up-to-date on their current activities.

The lack of the ability to send MMS messages may be a major turn off for any prospective iPhone customers. Fortunately there is a way around this with the iPhone. While you can't actually send a MMS message you can use the inbuilt e-mail capabilities and still be able to deliver your pictures directly to your friend's cell phones.

It is extremely easy to do this with your iPhone, and requires very little time on your part. What you will do is "e-mail" the photos to your recipient; however, the person you are "e-mailing" doesn't have to have e-mail support on their phone in order to receive your message. The only requirement is your recipient must be able to receive MMS messages. What you will do is find the photo you want to send on your iPhone and tap the send photo link, which is located on the bottom left hand side of your iPhone.

To send the MMS message you will need to know the recipient's phone number and which carrier they are using. The e-mail address would be something like 1112223333@somecarrier.com. If you don't know which carrier they are using then you will need to ask them. Once you've done that you will be able to send them an many messages as you like and they will receive them all as MMS messages.

The MMS email address formats for the major carriers are as follows: Amp'd Mobile - number@vzwpix.com, Alltel - number@message.alltel.com, AT&T/Cingular - number@mms.att.com, Sprint/Nextel - number@messaging.sprintpcs.com, T-Mobile - number@tmomail.net, Verizon - number@vzpix.com and Virgin Mobile - number@vmobl.net.
