I cannot beleive that any of the service providers would allow their users to send/receive messages via another server since this deprives them of the ability to charge and hence revenue.
If you take Orange as the example that I have most experience with, they only permit access to their MMS server through the orangemms APN. They also block access to ANYTHING EXCEPT the MMS server through the orangemms APN.
This means that they can force their customers that want to send/receive MMS to use their server and hence they can charge.
Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong!

Correct under normal circumstances, however a license allows use. you would have to use a GPRS Wap apn not mms specific APN. U r right about them blocking alternative URL's on their mms apn. An MMS server is just a http address so any can be used with the right set up. When new term starts I will post all details on a site.

If anyone wants to try out my system they are very welcome.
The only thing is that you have to change your MMS settings in order to be able to use it.
Once you have changed them, you will not be able to send or receive any MMS messages using your own service providers facilities.
If you want to give it a go - head on over to
http://peffis.simply-sms.com and take a look.
Once you are setup then you can just send messages using the settings you will receive in an email when you sign up.
There are various ways in which it works.
1) If you send an mms to an email address - the message will be sent as an email with attachments.
2) If you send an mms to "4444" - it will be saved and displayed in the web based gallery.
3) If you send an mms to a phone number that starts with a "+" sign, AND you have an account on
www.vgsmail.com then the message will be sent to that phone number as a regular MMS - but they (probably) will not be able to receive it unless they are also signed up for this service!
3) If you send an mms that ccontains ONLY a text portion, AND you send it to a phone number starting with "+", AND you have a vgsmail account, the message will be sent as an SMS using your vgsmail account.
Did that make sense?

Are y'all sayin y'all have to pay for every single sms or mms and your provider doesn't offer any packages like 300 text messages for 2.99. That would totally suck. I use it too much to pay for each separate. And i get to see them right away and don't have go to an address to see it. Too bad.

@purplerhino
I don't think anyone is saying they cannot get bundles of messages - pretty much all operators offer that I think.
What is the comment about "And i get to see them right away and don't have go to an address to see it" referring to?
@titus
So - when does the term start so we can see some details of your "licensing"
