iPhone 101: How To Email a Photo From Your iPhone… as MMS!
So you’ve mastered iPhone 101: How to Email a Photo from your iPhone, but you still have friends and family on other phones and they want MMS. One of the biggest gripes against the iPhone, of course, is the lack of MMS. But there is a work around.
Chances are if you are a member of the TiPb forums you may already know it. Either way, read on after the break and we’ll show you how!
To email a photo to another cell phone is a pretty easy, except the casual iPhone user or someone who just got their iPhone may have no idea it is even possible! Here’s how it works: instead of emailing a picture to a normal email address all you have to do is send it to the a cell phone MMS address. For example, 6305551234@pm.sprint.com. That’s all there is to it. The person receiving the picture will get it as a normal MMS message.
Not every carrier has the same MMS email address, so below I have supplied you with all of the major carriers addresses.
Alltel – xxxxxxxxxx@message.alltel.com
AT&T – xxxxxxxxxx@mms.att.net
Boost Mobile – xxxxxxxxxx@myboostmobile.com
Einstein PCS – xxxxxxxxxx@einsteinmms.com
Sprint – xxxxxxxxxx@pm.sprint.com
T-Mobile – xxxxxxxxxx@tmomail.net
US Cellular – xxxxxxxxxx@mms.uscc.net
Verizon Wireless – xxxxxxxxxx@vzwpix.com
Virgin Mobile – xxxxxxxxxx@vmobl.com
Nextel – xxxxxxxxxx@messaging.nextel.com
Bonus tip: To make it easier on yourself, be sure to add these email addresses to your contacts so you don’t always have to remember them. You can also let your friends know that if they want to get you an MMS message they can simply send it to the normal email address that you currently have set up on your iPhone and not your mobile phone number.
Enjoy!

I have tried & tried can’t make it work! What I doing wrong?
Ahem how did u figure out the e-mail addresses??
Help my Blackberry cant fart! And the 3 people I know with an iPhone are women thus all iPhones are used by and designed for women. That’s also why the blackberry has a fake fingernail friendly keyboard for you coporate emailing hookers.
ha….i love how this steve jobs guy came into the IPHONE BLOG and got mad cause people like the iPhone here
OMG! Don’t people have better things to argue about other than who prefers which phone? I mean seriously…it’s a friggin phone!! That’s why there are different phones because people are different & they don’t like the same things!! I just see it as pointless to be so childish & argue over it.
diddnt work for me..

I have an iphone while my boyfriend has a regular flip phone with verizon. We figured out when I “email” a picture I took on my iphone to his cellphone email address he recieves them just fine using the domain listed above. Then when he views that picture his cellphone gives him an option to reply. He can reply with a picture and it is sent to my yahoo email account I have set up in my iphone. I check my email on my iphone and click the download option in the body of the email- takes 30 seconds or so but works great.
I bought an app called PhotoSend that lets you send free mms using the addresses outlined above. The cool thing is that it lets you send multiple photos instead of just one.
Hi. Really solid data on Maqui Berry. I discovered your nice blog while researching google. For the last few days I’ve been seeking to learn more. Particularly anything to do with the diet babble. I’ve seen it all and my sister keeps forcing her newfound weight loss fad on me. So I am happy I encountered you. Best regards!
This works fine for me except when trying to use it in a foreign language like Japanese. Though I do have a friend who’s parents have blocked this feature on her phone. So even though I have tried it won’t send there. But thank You for the addresses.
