Why can't it be a different device? If it was for the iPhone then you can use push notice which all iPhones have. If it has to be MMS and it's a multiplatform then use a different device as MMS works on other phones as well. Some more information on the app you are trying to delevop would help.
You seem to be everywhere! I see how you're reaching 3K posts in only 5 months now. I'm having a little trouble understanding what you're saying... Probably because of the lack of details. It can be a different device... thats the whole point. Our team has already gone over that SMS would be the optimal solution for now. It's the fastest form of delivery on the widest variety of phones, and that's what matters. MMS doesn't work on first gen iPhones and people without a expanded messaging package, which sadly happens to be about 1/4 of our client base, and push notifications only work in select phones, such as iPhones... and the push feature isn't as fast as we hoped it would be yet.
This is what I would do. Since it's multi-platform just give the iPhone Push Notice it's better that way for the iPhones and they will not need a package, and its more reliable than SMS from what I have gathered. For everything else you may be able to use a different port like what AIM does to send phones. May require you to do more backend work(hidden costs).
