SwirlyMMS is the multimedia message service application for the iPhone developed by Mats Beggrund and Tommy Svensson, they brought this excellent application because after all what can we do with a magnificent phone, good camera, with all the extended applications if we can’t send pictures to our contacts?

Before this application was released I felt so frustrated that I paid my phone plane with multimedia messages and I couldn’t use it with my iPhone.

But now everything is fine because SwirlyMMS work perfect with any iPhone firmware in almost every carrier, all you have to do is to program the settings that apply to your carrier, the MMSC, Proxy Server Settings and APN settings, if you don’t know this information you go to http://www.modmyifone.com/wiki/index.php/Carrier_APN_Settings there you can find the most popular carrier settings, if you do that correctly you are ready to send and receive pictures with your iPhone.

This application works good over the GPRS/EDGE so you need to have that service to use this application, you don’t need to turn off the wifi to send or receive, just have the EDGE on, if you get an error turn the wifi off.

When you open the application you get an “m” icon in the status bar wait until that “m” turn green, that indicate the application is ready, ir you try to fetch a message when the “m” is still gray you may get an error. If you are waiting for long time to the “m” turn green but it doesn’t, try turning wifi off, be sure EDGE is on, and verify you got the correct settings for your carrier.

For those with the previous version (0.3.8) you can only send one recipient only, to see you received message you can use other applications like mobilefinder or MMS viewer, or just SSH you phone to /mobile/Media/MMSFiles

To send you can either select the pictures from the built in camera roll viewer or just write the complete address of the picture you want to send. i.e you want to resend a picture you received so you need to write down this /private/var/movile/Media/MMSFiles/nameofthepic.jpg

The last release (1.1.0) includes the following features, but it’s not free, although cheap. You can use the trial version full featured for 14 days.

Features:

• An easy-to-use user-interface, inspired by the mail application, which allows you to navigate through your received and sent multimedia messages.
• Ability to send and receive: images, text, audio, video. In fact, you can send and receive any file you like!
• You will be able to send and receive messages containing multiple multimedia parts. For example you can send an image together with a long text in the same message.
• A built-in media viewer is provided so that you can easily view your messages from within SwirlyMMS.
• You can easily reply to the sender, or forward the message.
• You will be able to select multiple recipients. You can save an multimedia message part to a file of your choice.
• You can save an image to your camera roll (/var/mobile/Media/DCIM/100APPLE) and view it with the Photo application.
• To send a photo, you will be able to select it, not only from your camera roll but also from your synched photo library or use the built-in file browser to pick any file.
• Also, you will be able to take a photo with the camera from within SwirlyMMS and send it right away.
• When composing a multimedia message with several parts, you can easily rearrange and remove any part.

To help you configure the application with the MMS settings, we have developed a package which handles settings delivered over-the-air!
