Nextel multimedia messaging with verizon - Issue?

Just picked up a i930 (had a i95cl before) and some friends were
attempting to send me pictires of a car...they kept getting "message
undeliverable".....are there problems sending pictures between nextel
and verizon. Text messaging works fine and I have the ultimate data
service that includes unlimited multimedia messaging.

I have the same questions. I know before the merger you could not get any multi media messages from Sprint subscribers. I wonder does it work now. I have a sexxy lil mama I met on Match Mobile and she wants to send me some more pics of her. But to my knowlwdge (the little that i have so do NOT quote me on this) you can only send multi media to other Nextel customers.

Last night, I read that nextel and verizon entered into a carrier
interoperability agreement with regard to MMS back in July. I wonder
how long it will take until us end users see it

When you say "text messaging", are the phones addressing each other
just by the number, or by the internet address?

If your Nextel number is 234-567-8901, anyone can send email from a
computer to your phone, sent to the address
2345678901@messaging.nextel.com. Assuming you have text messaging
enabled on your line, if you send a text message from your nextel to
the computer. When you do that, your return address is similar:
twoway.2345678901@messaging.nextel.com.

Starting on the phone, if you send a picture with the text message to
your computer, it ends up as a JPG image attachment on the email. From
the computer, if you attach a JPG image, the Nextel phone will receive
it properly. (That lets people find really insulting pictures for
their contact lists, on the picture phones.)

There are similar schemes implemented by the other wireless companies
to do text messaing / email interoperability. For Verizon, you use
the format 2345678901@vtext.com.

I suggest you send a text message, with an image, from your Nextel
phone to the destination Verizon number with the 2345678901@vtext.com
format. I don't know if Verizon treats an email with a JPG attachment
the same as Nextel would, but it's worth a try.

I need to hook my phone up with the unlimited multimedia messaging. I just go turned onto that t9 feature--that predictive text that lets you make up your own words-- www.t9.com, check it out if you get a chance-I recommend it-
