For over a year now the iPhone has torn apart because it lacks the basic MMS functionality that has become an industry standard. There have been a few applications that have worked for some but not others such as Swirly MMS. All of these applications however require you to first jailbreak your iPhone.

Telia is going to offer MMS to Scandinavian iPhone users on their network. A lot of US iPhone owners are going to become extremely envious of those who finally are able to send picture messages without a problem. Telia subscribers will be able to download the homegrown iPhone application in just a few months.

There is still little information that tells just how Telia expects to achieve MMS functionality on the iPhone, but we predict that eventually it will find a way over to the US. With previous MMS “hacks” it is required to add the MMS feature to your AT&T plan in order for it to work. Last time we checked this did not cost any extra per month.
