MMS Finally on my iPhone

So I get a text message from ATT today which says: "Picture and video messaging (MMS) is now available for iPhone. Your existing messaging plan includes unlimited send and receipt of text, picture & video messages. To enable MMS, connect your iPhone to your computer and click "Check for Update" in iTunes, then restart your iPhone."

Gee thanks ATT for that informative message! After 9834759834758 years ATT finally lets our iPhones use it. But we cannot put all the blame on ATT, after all Apple knew exactly what they were doing when they produced the iPhone and then gave it to ATT, so screw both of them for screwing their customers from a very simple feature in most phones--most "advanced" phones. It's not like we were carrying around old Rotary phones! Or were we?

So now that the iPhone 3G can finally receive "MMS" messages, I think the next question people often ask is:

"How do I email pictures to AT&T phones?" or "How do I email pictures to the iPhone" (<---yeah total Google keyword insertions there ;-)

I was wondering the same thing, I know what the domain address is for Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint, but not for AT&T, I've never used AT&T except for this iPhone. So after searching the net and even the AT&T website in looking for the answer and even coming across wrong information on several websites, I found the one that actually worked:

If you want to send an email with a picture to an AT&T (iPhone) cell, you do it like every other provider:

phone-number-here@mms.att.net

e.g. 555-555-5555@mms.att.net

There you go. I don't know if it changed over time or something, but there were some websites suggesting the following:

@txt.att.net (this one still works, but for TXT only [email to cell txting])
@pix.att.net
@pics.att.net
@mmode.com

And a few other funky ones. I tried them all and none of them worked nor successfully sent an image from email to phone.

And if you're wondering, NO you do not have to send it as an attachment. And don't forget, it is dot NET, not dot COM!

-1 less thing that makes the iPhone blow.

P.S: here is the link to the information on the AT&T website, it was actually not that easy to find considering it isn't a relevant search result in Google nor easy to see by skimming through, I copied the link to the actual bookmark http://www.wireless.att.com/learn/messaging-internet/messaging/faq.jsp#sending_messages-mm
