I took the liberty of doing a Google search on your service using "how do i recieve MMS messages with Altel". Apparently they have had problems with MMS on several phones over the past year but seem to have fixes for most models, the easiest it appears if you have a Blackberry. This thread seems to have the most common fix. Entering in your model may give you more specific fixes. All the threads basically come down to contacting customer service and they will either 1. send you a configuration fix or 2. wipe and reset your phone. Ok. I'll try those. Thanks for your help and I will let you know if I figure it out. Thanks a ton!

Sort of, or at least you can accomplish what I think you are looking for. You need to have it sent to your phone as MMS, assuming you can get it from your provider (most can). Unlike SMS which has a character limit, MMS will send you the message in its entirety in one message. Examples of the different carrier addresses can be found here. MMS is picture messaging, correct? And I would be charged the same as for a pic message? Also, according to that list, my MMS address is the same as what I have been using for SMS. If it is the same address and you are not incurring charges for the SMS messages than you shouldn't for MMS. Not knowing your carrier (although I will assume not at&t or Verizon since they have different emails for both) , to find out how the message comes over and assuming you can not force MMS, you need to try one. If it comes over truncated then it is SMS, if you get the full message it is coming MMS. There is no way to control it on the GC side, so if it comes over truncated I would contact your carrier, the list may have the wrong email however expect to have to push the issue with Tier 1 support since it took a week of training how to push the button that answers your call. Yep, every time I use that address it comes over in 2 parts. Do I have to activate something on my phone besides from just using that address? Otherwise it looks like I will just have to contact customer support. (I have Alltel, by the way)

You still wouldn't have the coordinates though. It would be fairly easy to write a little program to do combine & strip, if you had the technical knowledge. But it doesn't do much good w/o grabbing the cache coords and description. Yeah, I know I won't have the coordinates, but I could go on the web and look it up or use Groundspeak's Textmark feature to find that part out. I don't nearly have enough tech knowledge to write the program anyway.

Is there a service that will condense the messages down to one or remove the unwanted parts? Thanks

Is there a way to prevent the notifications from being spit or to filter out unwanted information in the notifications? Is there a service that would do this? Thanks!

Thanks. . . Seems like a waster of paper, but oh well. Pete See my post in this thread. http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=200282

Before you print the page, click on the i in the upper right hand corner of the map. Now it can be printed. Add link to picture. Hope this works... http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3155/273293...0765c9fcc_o.jpg

Testing again

Lucky enough to have never forgot a pen so I guess I am under the "Haven't done it or thought of it" category.

Sometimes I wish I had kept a log but, no, I do not keep one other than what I post online.

Just paint over it. I then put an official geocache sticker on the top. I have been debating if I should put my user name on it. Email me if you have an opinion. Edit for spelling.

I would agree with everyone else. Is there something in the rules about advertising?

Test

I agree 100%. Sig items/cards are O.K. with me but I don't like "business" cards. Isn't advertising in caches against the rules, too?

When you are a charter member you get the same features as a premium member but for free? Or is there other features that you get?

I only have a couple posts and I read the forums quite often so I guess I am a lurker.

Saw an article in a local newspaper. Went out that day and now I'm hooked.

Being a platinum is a big joke, right?
