re the first mail:
as far as i know, MO sms with image is almost useless because it would be just 
wbmp format.

The pictures sent to a server are sent via TCP/IP - i.e. GPRS/3G etc.
they are send either as MMS, either via mail.
To extract MMS you would need account to the MMSC of the mobile operator.
Or, use single SIM card attached to GPRS enabled GSM modem.

The most simple working solution is to receive the images sent as mail via GPRS 
to
a server where you will have rights to write procmail script in a view to 
extract the images.
This is in case you need automated solution and high volumes.

OR, you could use just gmail account :p

P.S.
Regarding the procmail script there are a lot of tutorials i believe.


RE; the second mail with the modem tests.
the IP of the mmsc is local for the GPRS network of the mobile operator.
So you will need GPRS enabled modem with SIM activated for GPRS access.
Set the GPRS link via the modem and from there wget or curl /i love curl :)/ 
the url with the proper HEADERS of GPRS
enabled device, i.e. imitate mobile device content browser
The operators MMSC sometimes convert the image waiting for your request 
according the received mobile device headers.
I suggest you use fingerprint of some recent SE phone.

cheers
