When you send a MMS from your mobile, it gets transferred over GPRS to 
the MMSC. Then MMSC sends SMS to recipient's mobile, which starts a GPRS 
download from the MMSC. That's how a MMS gets transferred.

If you want to simulate above behaviour, your real problem is to 
simulate MMSC. It's totally dependent on the chosen application how the 
message is created and queued for sending. That part is considered 
trivial and left as an exercise to the reader. The hard part is to send 
a proper SMS to the recipient and  serve the recipient phone for message 
download.

As you can see, this is totally different from sending a SMS and there 
really is no need for a GPRS-connection (not unless you want there to be).
