I've gotten the same message on my iphone too. I think the person sending them is on T-Mobile, but I will check.
There are cockroaches in Mexico big enough to own property.

Oh, I should clarify - she's on T-Mobile. I'm on Verizon, and get picture messages right on my phone, which is why I was confused.

All is well that ends in pizza.
From the T3 website:
According to rumour mongers MacScoop, [iPhone] firmware 1.1.3 will drop during Macworld. The new software will finally allow punters to cut and paste texts and actually send more than one message.
The update is also said to include beefed up Google Maps and changes to the home screen.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
My Mom says that every time I send her a pic, she gets a text telling her to visit a website to view it, which seems weird to me, but I don't know if it's a T-Mobile thing or a Blackberry thing.
I think it's a Blackberry thing. I'm pretty sure that's how DH gets picture messages (I have taken to sending them to his email address instead if his phone number, which he still can't retrieve on the Blackberry but it is less taunty that way) and I think I've gotten pictures sent to me (I'm on T-mobile, he's on Verizon or something) but I don't have any sitting in memory to double check.
Oh, but I'm an idiot, he has a Motorola Q, not a Blackberry.
Am attempting to send myself a picture.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You should send yourself a picture of yourself looking at yourself in a mirror....

Dude, do you want me to open a hole in the space-time continuum? I'm pretty sure that voids my warranty.
Eta: after realizing I had sent the picture to my old cell #(sorry for the confusion, hypothetical person who has it now), I successfully sent and received one picture (of myself, no mirror) via T-mobile.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Eh. It doesn't really work. Though, I did get a note from 1985, signed by myself, delivered via Western Union that said "Get over yourself."

With a laser pointer. (Or was it just a laser?)

The Saga Of The Broken Mac has almost come to a close here. Thank goodness for Applecare, because we wound up:
- replacing the graphics card
- replacing the logic board
- sending the monitor to Apple for repair
I'm now on hold with Applecare waiting for a product specialist because when they sent the monitor back, they didn't include my power cord. (Fortunately I had a spare lying around, but still. Not nice to steal your customers' things!)

Hey. New board.
so i upgraded to the Blackberry Pearl and now AT&T is telling me that in order to use the internet browser, i have to have an unlimited data bundle to use it. the unlimited data bundle? costs as much as my minutes plan. WTFF? why can't they be like every other phone and allow you to pay as you use?
AT&T has evil data plans. Apparently most of the networks do, actually. It balks me every time I look at possibly switching from T-Mobile, where $20 a month gets me unlimited phone data (including the ability to tether to my laptop over bluetooth, which is CRAZY expensive on AT&T) AND unlimited internet at T-Mobile Hotspots. Like every Starbucks in Manhattan.
