photo messaging/texts on Nokia Lumia 520?

Anonymous
Not applicable

Please can someone help me with this really simple question as I am a right wally with phones and the likes!

I have been sending photos by pressing "share" when I'm on the relevant photo and then sending it to the recipient. I have now found out this is MMS picture messaging and it's not included in my contract so I get charged for these.

How therefore do I send a text message with a picture attached and not get charged for it like I used to be able to with my old Nokia?

There is a good chance that you were charged previously but old tariffs had some mms included or came out of allowance. O2 have now stopped this and allow you to buy a bolt on separately.

You can't you would be better off sending pictures by email or using what's app or similar or you can add a mms bolt on to your account at a charge of £5.11 a month for 50 mms

As mentioned by damien1, whatsapp or similar apps will save you MMS charges but the person you're sending the pic/video to, also has to have whatsapp/other app installed on their phone(s)

ok, thanks all. I think that's it - O2 used to include picture messaging and that must have been in my old contract. Oh well, at least I know now. Cheers.

I was so used to the 20 MMS I got every month, that it was a shock when I got a 29p charge for one I done last week. Hmmm...won't be doing that again so willy nilly. I rarely use MMS as it is.
