Sure. But why scan? A phone pic is enough. That was the plan. How they send it in is the customers choice but in my view a simple web form is easier than asking them to write a bespoke email.

But by and large we would accept applications any way they would want to be send but I question the value of building MMS in the MVP. This would cater to the 'camera enabled non browser devices' and our research shows this is a tiny slice of our audience. However this is a quick thing to build so as we progress research on our target audience we may change our mind.

No, let them text the image to a number.
This is a good idea, I think we will do it. It looks straightforward with Twilio but let me know if you know of another good MMS API provider. Thanks!
