  1. After one year from the release of SMS foxbox, I’m proud to announce its evolution, the MMS FoxBox! MMS FoxBox aims to be a new way of publishing content on the web. Think how nice will be to populate your site with photos coming from users mobile phones! MMS Box does NOT require any mobile phone configuration change on users devices, all you have to do is just send a standard Multimedia message!
    The box includes all features availables on SMS foxbox plus full MMS receiving capabilities! MMS receiving is completely “free”, this means that your AIR carrier normally does not charge anything for MMS receiving.
