Stock-looking MMS support hacked onto 2G iPhone
Way back in the heady days of 2007, there was an iPhone without 3G data (hard to believe, we know, but trust us -- we were there). This iPhone, though revolutionary in some ways, was marred by the love-hate relationship its users suffered for missing out on some very basic features that they'd grown used to on mobiles of yore. One of those missing features, of course, was MMS -- and now, some two years later, 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. As you might imagine, getting this going on your own phone is marginally more complicated than downloading from the App Store, so here's the question, you non-upgraders: just how badly do you want it?

I have my iPhone 2G up and running with this hack, and it's working great! Shame on you Apple for holding out on us.

This is available through Cydia under messaging, in a package called "ActivateMMS2G" You don't need to add any additional repository to access it, it will be available with a stock Cydia install. For detailed directions on how to get it up and running, google the program. It's a LOT less complicated than whatever method was listed here.

But what about getting it working on a 3G?
