Anyone having problems d/l mms on wifi?

When ever I get a mms picture text, I get a download failure and then a transient failure only when i'm using wifi. I have to turn wifi off and it still won't download for a while after numerious tries.
Anyone experience this problem?

I've had a similar failure many times, but will have to determine if wifi was also a condition, i just can't be sure, will let you know going forward.

I spoke with Sprint. The tell me I need to turn off wi-fi, then "restore my profile"...are you KIDDING ME SPRINT?!! Why would I use wi-fi then??!?!

This is the kind of stuff that makes people go buy an Iphone. It just works.

On AT&T even if your phone has wifi you still need to use your data plan to get picture mms messages...Could it be the same with sprint?

I'm not a sprint costumer yet because I'm waiting for the Epic 4g to come out...

hey elit gunner i have at&t and was searching to see if this could be fixed... so its not possible? picture mms MUST go through cell data and not possible to go through wifi??

i don't like that, feels like something apple would do....
