It's not code, it's configuration. It's quite similar to Kannel's
configuration, and since you'll probably need Kannel too, you might
want to get familiar with Kannel first.
A sample configuration is the first link for a Google search:

You don't need Mbuni for this, and I'm not sure that is possible with
plain Mbuni.
In short, when someone sends a MMS to your phone, your network operator
stores it and sends a special SMS (a "WAP PUSH") to your phone with
indications on the MMS and the URL to download it. Your phone then
connects via GPRS to your network operator and retrieves the MMS at the
given URL, then requests its removal.
The point of Mbuni is to take the place of your network operator's in
this scenario: it would receive MMS messages from the Internet and send
you the SMS, then offer you an entry point to download and remove it.
The point of Mbuni is not to act as a phone.
You can catch these SMS messages via Kannel, or other software, and
then retrieve the MMS by connecting to your network operator's GPRS
APN and downloading the relevant URL with more or less standard tools,
but that requires some understanding in GPRS and usage of a WAP GW.
I presume some software can do this for you.
I hope this clears things up to you.
Cheers,
