..though the SMS send option is off.

I have a jailbroken iPhone 4 firmware 4.0.2(officially unlocked ), my carrier is SOFTBANK JAPAN and it only sends MMS through SwirlyMMS app. But because of the 2.4.4 update, I can't send MMS because it sends as SMS directly. How can I deal with this problem? Anyway, my previous version is 2.4.3 which works well before.

Yes we are aware of this change. We had a few comments on the previous versions that eventhough you disable SMS that should only affect reception of SMS. When sending, it should always do it the best/cheapest way, which is via SMS for pure text messages. But maybe we have overseen something!

So, why do you want to send an MMS if it only contains text?

I agree with your comments but as for your question, iPhone 4 users like me here is Japan is having a problem sending messages(SMS and MMS) through its default apps such as the "message" app. So we use an alternative which is the SwirlyMMS to send MMS. To note, if we send out message as an SMS, the receipent doesn't receive anything from the sender. It seems that only the MMS is the only way to reach our receipents.

I beg for request as a consumer to please set back the things they were back at the 2.4.3 settings which priorly the "send as MMS" thing. I think things here in Japan is different than other countries. It has to be sent as an MMS to reach our contacts.

I actually have an official unlocked iPhone4 so I only use softbank's prepaid card which I think they don't allow us to have service plans because we bought the phone on the other retailers.

ok i see....

Thank you! I hope you resolve this matter as soon as possible.
Please also inform me if you have done the changes. Have a nice day!

I have now submitted SwirlyMMS v2 ver 2.4.5 which should correct your SMS issue. I have introduced a new setting so now you can control both the sending and reception of SMSes separately from within SwirlyMMS.

Wow! New options are also included! Thank you!
