Picture/ video SMS?

Is it possible to send pictures via sms on the Diamond? Or would I have to download a new program for it? Any suggestions, I couldn't find any topics on this one.
I found I could receive text messages with pictures, but the text message gives me a link to an outside site.
Most Diamond ROMs come with a program called Arcsoft MMS already installed. Assuming you have already run Connection Setup, sending and receiving MMS should be enabled.
Sometimes you have to send an MMS before your network will let you receive one properly.

Can't send sms/mms but can receive.

I guess I'm just a noob when it comes to text messages...I use email. But unfortunately, my kids and most of my friends insist on it, so I've been forced to start using texts from time to time.
Problem is, I can't send for some reason...and after a few hours poking around the forums, I'm not finding anything to help me figure out why.
I'm using the Hyperdragon build in my sig with MMS composer v. 5.2.2.22, and I have a data connection with ATT.
When I send a message, I've tried adding a recipient manually, and by my contacts list, and when I send the message, all it does is go into my outbox and sit. I also get a copy of it in my inbox.
I've checked that the phone settings for the ATT MMS server is correct, with the correct number for text messages, but still nada.
I'm sure it's just a noob mistake, but I'm stumped. Any ideas?
peace,
Aielman

I've double checked all the settings. They're correct.
I'm connected to the 3G network, and can send email, browse web pages, make calls, etc. I can receive sms/mms justfine.
But for some reason I can't send.
It just sits in my outbox and I get a copy from "Me" in my inbox any time I send.
peace,

How come SMS change to MMS?

How come when the sms message gets too long, it will be converted to MMS? How do I solve this problem?

I think your confused.. Im going to assume your trying to send a picture and it says its too large so its converting it to an mms right?
Actually, he's right. On my G1 when I hit so many characters (usually by the end of the 3rd set of 160) it changes to MMS. The reason it does this is so the network can better handle the message. Sending as 3 seperate texts would take more time for the network to submit, store, and resend, than 1 MMS message would.

No he isnt confused, when you sent a text that goes over a certain amount of characters it converts it into a mms, i dont think you can stop it from converting it but what you can do is send multiple text massages under the conversion limit
Oh okay, so there is nothing I can do about it?
Not really no. Just when you get to a certain limit and the counter appears showing how many characters you have left, just send it, and start on the next one
Send shorter messages, send an email or IM...
SMS converts to MMS when it gets 3 messages long..it has a character count so stop right before it converts and send it and continue in a new text
ok you want to rid this problem but i would like my tilt to do this aoutmaticly, any way?
Yeah, download HandCent SMS application. It will solve this application.

Recieve MMS and sometimes can send them

I can recieve MMS and sometimes I can send them, but most times I get the message that the MMS cannot send. The ones I cannot send are the same size as the one I could, around 40k. I have no clue why this is happening.
Anyone have a solution for this? I actually use MMS rather often.
also for some reason my notifications say that I'm sending 2 mms when I only send one. Anyone have a solution? I'm on at&t but I don't think that matters.
Delete everything in your outbox, create a new empty MMS and write a letter or two, no images or anything and send it to yourself. If that works, then something might wrong with the stuff you're trying to include in the MMS that fails.

SMS MSGing and @email.com accout gets converted to MMS

To start off, i have used google.. and searched many strings.
I have also poked around with the settings on my phone.
Ok my issue is when i try to txt any email address my G1 tells me that its converting the message to MMS.. the problem is that i use an unlocked G1 without a data plan, so i cant use MMS messaging.
-this is not the same problem where "the message is over 3 messages long" and it gets converted to MMS-
Oh and sorry for my lame excuse for a thread title
