MMS and data allowance

[Anonymous]

I have monthly data allowance 100MB-can I send MMS for free as data usage or are they charged separately?

Many thanks.

Charged separately at 35p each.

Hi chicky.

What you could do is download an instant messaging application such as What's App and send your pictures through that, or even email your pictures as both would come out of a data allowance.

Or if you're feeling up to it - write a letter of complaint to o2 about how this regressive system of being charged for mms is in the dark ages

I'm still waiting for my reply to the same letter

In all fairness MMS is for blurry rudey pictures and old ladies sending pictures of the corner of peoples heads to their families.

The 35 pence per message is probably to keep the decade year old technology up and running

There is only one person I know that I still have to send pics to by MMS.... I wish they'd get with the 21st Century !!

I still find mms very useful each to their own I know but I use it quite a bit
