FAQ

Be sure you are using a mobile connection and not Wifi while using MMS!

Is my device supported?
If it is running Android 2.3 Gingerbread, YES!

What am I paying for exactly?
My time & effort spent researching & testing, but mostly my great support that will be provided to you while using this application.I cannot guarantee how long this will work or that Cricket will not modify their MMSC to block it or anything like that. Though not very probable, just acknowledge that beforehand.

I get an error every time I try to add a picture / use MMS.
Your device is either not communicating with the authentication server due to connectivity issues or your device is not authorized. Contact me and we can sort it out.

It just hangs on 'Sending...' or it takes a long time to send
I cannot control what Cricket's MMSC does with the MMS request, I can only guarantee that it will be sent there. Sometimes it resets the connection, sometimes it flat out refuses it, sometimes it just takes a few tries to work (it tries to send 10 times before throwing an error). That is just a quirk of being part of the Cricket family I guess.

I get an error while sending or receiving MMS
Your account may not be provisioned to use MMS. Contact me and we can look into your account and discuss available options.

What if the authentication server fails?
I will release an unsecured application.

I really hope some people jump on this. It's a good way to get MMS without hassles. I can personally vouch for the developer. Good developer and an okay person .

Yes, I have tried this out also.

As you can see by the picture I'm an ugly dude, but by the picture below it you can see exactly why you need MMS!

I am a nobody. =)

I remember hearing captain kirk's commercials on b95 on the way home from school... Wow, that was too long ago, lol.

Really though, I am not 'big' in the flashing community, let alone locally. I don't have a shop, I don't flash phones on CL or anything like that.

That was probably back in '95, lol.

It uses information based on that phone. So one purchase per phone I was told.

At this point, to be safe, I have it capped at ~600kb. I would assume audio/video would work as long as it is under that size.
