Cingular and Verizon Users Can Share Photos
What about Sprint?
The article says that Cingular plans on becoming interoperable with all major US Carriers but the problem is that Sprint does not use MMS, instead they use Picture Mail which sends the person an SMS with a link that follows to the image. The problem being that if the person who receives the sms with the link does not have a wireless web plan then it will cost them money to look at the picture by the kb which I think may become as expensive or more expensive than MMS. Also, how will Sprint receive these messages? Unless Cingular hosts the image on a server and send the Sprint phone a link via SMS then I don't see how MMS would work with Sprint without having to get a new phone. Any ideas? Got any info Rich?

i would imagine it to work the same bass-ackward way it does now. the sending carrier will send to the wireless line, and somewhere in the background receive the @carrier.who, which would then drop the message in the subscriber's "inbox".
or, they need to switch providers to one with a bit more savvy and ease-of-use.

If this goes anything like text messaging, Sprint will realize their folly and launch MMS in about 2007.

Samsung is making a ReadyLink phone for Sprint with a camera and supposedly MMS. Here is a link.

I think it can be possible without Sprint having to change anything on the phones with PictureMail. It can all be done by the server.
