It's good you finally figured it out that they don't want to use the iPhone
but just the mainframe server that Apple uses to communicate with iPhones.

I just wish you'd have figured that out fifty posts ago, and we could have
saved fifty posts where you couldn't get it through your head how it works.

When I send an MMS attachment, it goes over my carrier's cellular network.
But in my case, I'm not charged anything additional by my carrier.

But when _they_ send an MMS attachment, they don't want it to work that way
(because they're charged when the carrier sends the MMS attachment).

They want the MMS to be sent over the Internet from their phone to the
Apple mainframe server which then sends it off to the Apple dumb terminals.

Are you saying it doesn't work that way for those trying to send an MMS
attachment NOT through their carrier but through Apple's Internet servers?

You've been completely wrong this entire thread so I have to ask you to
confirm that you're saying the people who are charged by their carrier per
MMS attachment actually can't circumvent those carrier-imposed MMS charges
by using the Apple servers to send their MMS attachments (as with Beeper).
