       MMS (Basic)
       ===========
       
       A SIMPLE MMS WORKAROUND
       
       The absence of MMS (multimedia)
       messaging can be annoying for those of
       us without BIS.
       
       One alternative is to send pictures
       via regular email attachments using
       Logicmail.
       
       If you just HAVE to send an MMS, there
       may be a workaround. You can use
       email-to-text for MMS messages. Some
       cell carriers will let you send SMS or
       MMS messages to their users via email.
       For example, if you want to send an
       MMS picture message to a number at
       Telus Canada, you open LogicMail, and
       write an email with a picture
       attachment to
       [10digitnumber]@mms.mb.telus.com. The
       recipient can respond, and it will
       show up in your email.
       
       If someone wants to send you a picture
       message, instruct them to enter your
       email address in their text message
       client's "To:" field. You'll get the
       message in LogicMail.
       
       What I did -- before learning to write
       my own MMS service books (see below)
       -- was go through my contacts, and
       enter
       [10digitnumber]@their_carrier_message_address,
       so that I could email my contacts a
       multimedia message easily from
       LogicMail. It's obviously not perfect,
       but better than nothing.
       
       I'm not sure that all of these work
       for MMS (some may be SMS only), but
       here are some addresses for Canada:
       
       [10digitnumber]@txt.bell.ca (Bell and Solo)
       [10digitnumber]@pcs.rogers.com (Rogers)
       [10digitnumber]@sms.fido.ca (Fido)
       [10digitnumber]@fido.ca (Fido)
       [10digitnumber]@mms.mb.telus.com (Telus)
       [10digitnumber]@mms.mb.telus.com (Koodo)
       [10digitnumber]@mms.mb.telus.com (Public Mobile)
       [10digitnumber]@vmobile.ca (Virgin Mobile)
       [10digitnumber]@mobiletxt.ca (PC Mobile)
       [10digitnumber]@sms.sasktel.com (SaskTel)
       [10digitnumber]@pcs.sasktelmobility.com (SaskTel)
       [10digitnumber]@text.mts.net (MTS Allstream Inc./ Manitoba Telecom Services Inc.)
       [10digitnumber]@txt.freedommobile.ca (Freedom Mobile)
       
       Ultimately, you'll have to search and
       experiment to see what works for you.
       Here is a link for similar addresses
       worldwide, but the best approach is to
       search the carriers' websites and
       support forums.

       WRITING MMS SERVICE BOOKS
       
       A how-to for the technically inclined
       can be found here:

       Writing service books is difficult and
       involves a great deal of
       experimentation. Be prepared to fail
       repeatedly!
