I am curious about the MMS as well since GVoice has never had it. I am not presented with any update in Cydia yet so I can't test it. Still on 2.1.60....

Emailed Sean and he got me straightened out... MMS worked fine for me, just wish it was 2-way.

Once you start using 'Phone GV Extension' in Cydia, you won't bother with GV Mobile +. Phone GV Extension will integrate Google Voice to the native phone app.

Not knowing much about google voice which is the better app, this or the one on cydia?

I was under the impression that Google Voice doesn't support MMS.... so what is this app doing to support picture messaging?

According to the itunes page comments "The picture messaging is nice. It sends a link to your friends number of the pic that is linked. Push is a process to set up but luckily I had experience with that sorta set up. " It's a nice workaround for the lack of MMS support, however it assumes you're sending to another internet capable smartphone.
