Answer: My Cingular RAZR doesn't have a FROM: in the MMS

•  Beginning with version 0.51 of WP-MMS if the MMS message does not include a FROM: address greater than 6 characters then it attempts to use the TO: address as the WordPress account to check for security purposes.  So just enter your own number in the TO: or it could even be one you makeup as long as it is greater than 6 characters in length and matches the WordPress account you have created for posting MMS messages.  If there is a FROM: then it will always be used.

Answer: Why doesn't my cellphone indicate the message is delivered?

•  After sending a MMS message, even though it indicates 100% complete; the "waiting for response" indication is showing for the message.  This is due to the fact that the third of three transactions acknowledging receipt of the message is not sent back to the cell-phone.  This is true of not only this Plug-In but also of the SMILe gateway, Humpa's Picture Server and other alternate MMS gateway's as well.

Answer: What is an "alternate MMS gateway server?

Multimedia Message Service (MMS),  is a store-and-forward method of transmitting graphics, video clips, sound files and short text messages over wireless networks using the WAP protocol. Carriers deploy special servers, dubbed MMS Centers (MMSCs) to implement the offerings on their systems. MMS also supports e-mail addressing, so the device can send e-mails directly to an e-mail address. The most common use of MMS is for communication between mobile phones.

Although MMS looks to the user like e-mail; it is based on the concept of multimedia messaging. The presentation of the message is coded into the presentation file so that the images, sounds and text are displayed in a predetermined order as one singular message. MMS does not support attachments as e-mail does since all of the contents (text, photos, sounds and videos) are "in-line"; but to the end user it appears just like attachments to an e-mail.

WP-MMS is a special purpose MMSC which is not currently designed to forward messages as a normal MMSC would but rather post them into WordPress.

Answer: When will there be a new release?

There are no currently known bugs.  If user requests warrant release of a new version; one will released at that time to try an accommodate them.  I am working on some enhancements currently as time allows (which is precious right now).  Let us know what you desire in our suggestions area.
