I think the problem is that:

When someone send an MMS to a phone that doesn’t support MMS, you get a text message with a web page URL.

That web page has a flash interface which the iPhone can’t handle.

I think that was the problem from what I remember… it’s a problem that AT&T could easily fix.

No, the http://viewmymessage.com website is not flash. If you are trying to view it on your iPhone, forget it, it will crash Safari.

Unfortunately you’ll have to use a computer and enter the 1034ujdaksjds login and pass. It’s very annoying…
