mms2r 1.1.8 Released
mms2r version 1.1.8 has been released!
- <http://mms2r.rubyforge.org/>
DESCRIPTION:
MMS2R is a library that decodes the parts of an MMS message to disk while
stripping out advertising injected by the cellphone carriers. MMS messages are
multipart email and the carriers often inject branding into these messages. Use
MMS2R if you want to get at the real user generated content from a MMS without
having to deal with the cruft from the carriers.
If MMS2R is not aware of a particular carrier no extra processing is done
to the MMS other than decoding and consolidating its media.
Contact the author to add additional carriers to be processed by the
library. Suggestions and patches appreciated and welcomed!

I send mms via cingular, verizon, sprint and tmobile using the gateways you listed above all the time and I’ve have never seen an ad. Not even once.
Can you show an example?

When receiving/sending MMS cellphone to cellphone you don’t usually see the ads. But MMS are just multi part emails and if you open them in a mail reader or with ActionMailer you’ll see that they do have advertising attachments from the carrier. If you are writing a program to injest MMS and you just want the user generated media and wish to ignore the advertising then you could let MMS2R to do that work for you. Or you could write your own solution.
See this blog post for example with Sprint:
