…here we are with a truly integrated MMS experience courtesy of the all-powerful hacking community. Granted, there have been MMS apps available for ages, but there’s a difference: this is the same action 3G and 3GS owners are getting in conjunction with OS 3.0, which Apple curiously decided to hold back from original iPhone owners.

A member of Hacking0sh forum revealed a tip on how MMS on 2G (OS 3.0) with default SMS/MMS app:

For install copy mms2g.deb to iphone in folder, for example /var/root

Then in same folder (/var/root) in terminal input: dpkg -i mms2g.deb

Reboot

or

Extract files from Patch.zip to iphone to folders same as arhive. For CommCenter chmod 755.

Reboot.

In settings, adjust apn, user, password.
