mogul
Does anyone know how to send picture mail in a text message instead of an email on the mogul??? I've tried and tried looking but no luck.
...
Not sure with the mogul but with the wing there is an option to send an MMS. It should be the same for the mogul because they both run Windows mobile. Unless sprint does something weird to their phones.
...
i had the moto Q from sprint and at that time their WM devices couldnt send mms.. thought that would have been fixed with 6.0 though
...
Ah but sprint does. No more sending pix message. Must be an email. There used to be a program that allowed us sprint PDA phone users to do just that but sprint figured it out and blocked the feature. I hate sprint as much as I like them.
...
Why would they not want us to be able to send pictures as a text???? That is nonsense to me 🤨
...
I have no idea. It makes no sense. Maybe they are getting ready to make some PDA picture pack. Oh wait I got it. If you want to send pictures you have to get the email service for the PDA phone and you can't use the $15 Power vision service. Thats why. Double the money.
...
correction the only way to send pics with a windows mobile phone is through email. regular sprint phones send through text. windows mobile phones such as the mogul, touch, and any treo wxs go through email
...
there are programs you can download that will let you send pics through texts but be careful. I got a program from ppcgeeks.com and it fried my mogul. I'm on my 3rd master reset now 😢
...
Those programs don't work anymore. Sprint blocked it all. Been there tried that. I have never fried my phone from anything from ppcgeeks.com
...
no you cant,. i work with sprint and htc mogul is not a picture message capable phone... 😢
...
Although MMS is not native to Sprint's WM devices, there are numerous picture mail applications that can be downloaded for free. As far as which is best, I'm the wrong one to ask as I have never carried a Windoze device. Just try googling picture mail app and your device ie. windows mobile 6 picture mail app or something to that effect.
...
Do you know if it requires you to do a hard reset on your device to download one of those programs?

I truly don't know. I just know that my friends who have WM devices have MMS apps. I'm sure when you find an app you want to try the download instructions will answer that question for you.

Short answer- no, it has to go through email.
Long answer- developers had/have made various 3rd party apps to do MMS on Windows mobile devices. For whatever reasons, carriers are starting to lock down the gateways and behind the scenes things that allow that function. The speculation, not any direct knowledge, that I heard was that rogue developers were using windows mobile devices to flood random people with picture mail messages that were spam advertisements. We're talking about untold thousands of simultaneously sent messages per device, before that account would be locked down. So, they started to block it.

It has to go through the email, but you can send it to another device and it will show up on theirs as a pic mail...
Just send the pic using email on your phone to the phone number@pm.sprint.com
ie, 3234561234@pm.sprint.com
it will show up as a pic mail attachment on their device
