MMS isn't supported and still silently fails (which is annoying). I just tell people to 'text my email addresss' which works, or to use something else (like facebook/snapchat).

If someone attempts to send your Google voice number an MMS you will receive a notification about the message and the image will be sent to your email address.

Only if the MMS is from a Sprint customer. "Google Voice users are now able to receive pictures and other multimedia messages from Sprint subscribers."

When I get MMS from AT&T or Verizon, then I don't get anything but from Sprint customers, I get the notification and its in my gmail account right away. Probably due to the integration with Sprint and Google Voice. http://www.google.com/googlevoice/sprint/.

I've received MMS from a MetroPCS user. I can't find an updated list of providers that google voice supports. The blog post announcing sprint mms support was in October 2011.

MetroPCS uses the Sprint network.
