MMS Sharing Begins Between Sprint, T-Mobile and Cingular

Jul 7, 2005, 1:02 PM by (staff)

MMS sharing between National carriers and major regional carriers is becoming more complete. Cingular today announced that their subscribers can send pictures and video users on every national carrier except Nextel, as well as Leap (Criket) and US Cellular. Sprint today also announced MMS sharing with T-Mobile USA. Due to Nextel's lack of MMS interoperability, Cingular's sharing agreements are nearly complete, and Verizon's compatibility follows closely. Sprint and T-Mobile both still need to begin sharing MMS with Verizon as well as major regional carriers.

Nextel

I had no idea that Nextel did not have interoperable MMS. I thought that if it was referred to as MMS then it meant that it was that standard and therefore interoperable with any carrier that had MMS. I guess I was wrong. I have been able to share pics with Cingular and T-Mobile users for about a month now while it was being tested. It is funny because Cingular wanted to be the first carrier to have interoperable MMS capabilities with all carriers but being that Nextel will now be together with Sprint, Sprint may end up being the first carrier to offer interoperable MMS with all carriers as long as Verizon opens up its MMS to them. Now MMS, soon PTT!

Does Nextel Support MMS?

I see from the phone descriptions that they do, but if (unless I am mistaken) iDEN is about the equalivalent of TDMA which is very slow. If you can sent it must take forever to complete.
