Simple Raspberry Pi Powered SMS Gateway
> MMS or Multimedia Messages are supported by gammu but they are stored in a binary format I have yet to find documentation on how to make something usable out of it for download. Any info in it is greatly appreciated.
You could look at this implementation: mmsd-tng [1]. It is used to handle MMSes on the PinePhone for instance.

Getting MMS working on Mobian (T-Mobile)
I installed mmsd-tng from Chris Talbot's repo (I don't run Mobian unstable and didn't wanna go fetch the package from there), and installed Chatty from Purism's repo per the Mobian docs. To be sure of no conflicts, I carefully uninstalled the existing Chatty via dpkg -r --force-deps chatty to remove just Chatty without taking Phosh out with it.

Weird tradeoff but great phone
Apparently MMS isn't used much outside of North America so it's not as high of a priority. I' on Mobian and use Janky MMS to at least receive them, but I still can't send them. There is also an MMS daemon that someone created to at least process them, but getting a messaging app to pick them up is still a challenge. They are also working on getting it integrated into Chatty. Apparently its getting pretty close but its kind of slow going because its mostly one guy working on it. So if you're any good with C (especially UI design) they are always open for more contributors.

My pinephone daily driver experiences so far
To get it working, you basically need a fork of mmsd (i.e. mmsd-tng) and you need an app that can pull the MMS messages in. The same developer who has worked on mmsd (kop316) has spent a good amount of time updating Chatty/Chats with his own custom branch, though it is quite barebones and really only allows receiving MMS images as file:// links in the UX. It sounds like Purism will eventually get around to implementing this in the UX but it may not be for months.

For Discord I would recommend gord. I don't know how it would look on a phone, but it supports arm64 Linux.
