Unable to send mms/photo messages, iphone 3gs

Anonymous
Not applicable

This seems to be a recurrent theme on here, but i am unable to send mms with photos attached using my iphone 3gs.  Please can someone help.  I'm not a fan of O2, they just told me the other day I only have 2g signal and that I shouldn't expect anything else!

Be careful now as you will get charged daily for using any data services if you don't have a bolt on.
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

It might be better to switch off mobile data and just use wifi if you now don't have a data plan.

Though in reality, with no data bolt on, sending one mms would cost athe £1.00 daily allowance rate?

 

Seems a bad idea to me Greg47 if you are wanting to send mms.

@jonsie I thought mms did not count against data usage and is charged at 35p a message on new tariffs (but may open up a data path for other apps etc)

You may well be right Adam, but opening up mobile data to send the mms may lead to some data leakage to update background apps. Hope not though.
