Yea, same thing happened to me. I'm able to receive MMS through my email when people send it to my Google Voice number, but I can't send any MMS back. I don't use MMS anyways and most of my friends have smartphones, so I just email them pictures or link them to videos I uploaded to YouTube.

Is she on Sprint? That'd explain it. MMS doesn't work coming from any other carrier currently.

I thought that on GV, picture mail was working to and from all carriers? Isn't that what Google announced a while back?

Google's announced nothing of the sort. The only announcements regarding GV and MMS are that Sprint customers can send/receive even if they have integrated GV. And Sprint GV users sending MMS to other GV users get forwarded to email.

Here is a thread on howardforums with a 5% off code for callingmart. Another site that gives 5% off without a code is keepcalling.com. I have not used that one though.

Just go to http://www.retailmenot.com/view/callingmart.com and you'll get the most recent coupons. CallingMart regularly promotes its current codes on twitter/facebook as well.

KeepCalling offers 5% off all the time, but doesn't serve the same number of MNVO options or refill amount options.

Over 90% of the people I keep in touch with no longer uses MMS to share photos, so it doesn't bother me. I would still receive MMS via email for the few that would still send them to me.
