It doesn't unless they updated it recently.

You can receive MMS via google voice. it notifies you that an MMS has been received then shoots the crappy picture to your email. Not sure why people even bother with MMS, it's horrid quality when it's the same steps to just email the nice high rez photo.

I use GV exclusively for calls and texts. dropped my text plan years ago.

Not universally true. This works if the sender has integrated Google Voice on Sprint.
