If you’re using a WM smartphone on the Sprint network you’re probably familiar with the limitations Sprint places on the sending and receiving picture mail. The receipt of pictures occurs through a klunky web interface requiring WM users to navigate to a web site to view their picture mails. There is a program available for the WM platform that automates the process of navigating to the picturemail web site to view photos. sMMS automatically detects and downloads incoming MMS and displays them on your phone.

Here’s the sMMS inbox:

And a nice YouTube video that shows the program in action:

From the developer:

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.

Requirements:

WM5, WM6 PPC / SP
.NET 2.0+ (If needed here is .NET CF 3.5)
ActiveSync Install Windows 2000/2003/XP/Vista
