After playing with it off and on for 4 days and finally getting to a level 3 engineer, it turns out that T-Mobile does NOT like '-' in the phone number.. which is utterly stupid.. outlook converts phone numbers to (xxx) xxx-xxxx in the US.. T-Mobile accepts the () but once you put a '-' in there, the MMS server rejects the message. Initially it looks like it sends..but it actually goes into a black hole. I turn on delivery receipt and it immediately comes back with a message stating it was rejected. So this is an FYI..but also..if you are using MMS with T-Mobile in the US, Contact them and tell them they need to fix their To Filtering in the MMS server to accept '-' in the phone number... I already made my complaint known..

OK I've got to ask why are you using the number formated as (xxx) xxx-xxxx to send mms anyway? That formating is simply for we humans.
If you want to get around this enter it in int'l format as +1XXXXXXXXXX and Outlook won't reformat it. Then it will send perfectly. Might as well get use to this format, eventually it'll be required.

I send that way because I just pick the contact from my address book and the mobile number/address from there. Don't feel like typing in someone's phone number if its in my contacts.
I would love it if outlook wouldn't reformat my numbers or at least reformat to +1xxxxxxxxxx but as soon as I enter that into outlook xp, it goes and reformats it to +1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx . ARGGHH.... ANyone know of a way to disable it or force outlook to reformat #s to a format I could use?

I'm with T-Mobile USA too and my MMS is now working just fine. I had my settings configured from the SE Global Support site. I can now send and receive MMS from other countries like Philippines, Poland, and UK. I don't need to use NOWMMS anymore!
