I have two phones configured exactly the same for Cingular: a Nokia 6800 and a Ericsson t68i. Sending MMS messages between them takes more than 10 minutes, if the messages are delivered at all. What is the cause of the delay?

MMS messages sent from the Nokia, to the Nokia, arrive in seconds. Same goes for the t68i. SMS between them arrive in seconds.

I plan to use the t68i as a GPRS modem with NOWSMS, but this performance problem is a non-starter. I am wondering if the MMS traffic is actually going across two different Cingular networks (given the recent merger with AT&T) and there is a delay in routing the MMS message between the networks on the backend.
