[Q] Google Voice and MMS work now? Sort of.

---

My friend just sent me a picture to my google voice number. I received the text message part just fine, but the actual picture was rerouted to my email address associated with my GV account. So I received the picture! Can anyone else confirm that this works for them?

I can't seem to respond from my email account back to my friend with a picture, nor can i send a picture from GV to my friend in response. But this hasn't ever happened to me before, so I am a little excited!

Yes, this the new and half-baked MMS feature in GV. As long as you've got GV set up to email a copy of your messages you can view pics and whatnot via email.

If they're on Sprint and send you MMS then you will receive it in your email inbox. This has been true since Sprint started integrating GV.

Truth but I never like the combo specially if you have bad sprint reception SMS would get delay and drain too much battery

I have been wondering about this, does it email you EVERY text or just the ones that are big enough to be mms?

Sent from my... wait... I don't remember what phone OR ROM I'm using anymore!

Just an FYI, T-Mobile doesn't support MMS to Voice yet. So, MMS sent from a T-Mobile number won't reach Voice, but MMS from Sprint will.

yeah, as it happens, she is on Sprint, but she sent it from her iphone. I tried doing it from my work phone (iphone on verizon) and send one to my gv number from my gnex, and neither worked. Sorry to rehash old news, I guess.

Every SMS is sent to email. Best way is to create a filter so that all "SMS From" subjects you set to auto read and archive and label SMS.

That way when you do get a real MMS, you can go to Gmail real quick, pull up the SMS folder and see the SMS email with the picture.

Yes, as I said this is very old news. Sprint GV users sending MMS to other GV users gets forwarded to their email.
