Well on my phone under the 'Messages' menu, I've got Text and Multimedia messages, if I go into Text, there is an option there that says 'Create e-mail', this is what I use to send photos to email addresses.

So basically when the email is sent from my phone, it is using GPRS, and not MMS or whatever? :boggle:

motorspeed, MMS works over GPRS, so fiddle with a couple of settings and u can get around it. Use the same IP as ur GPRS connection, just go thru the MMS gateway. Should work.

But what if I email the pic, not send it to another phone? Surely the email is sent over GPRS, as I'm not sending another phone a photo message?

General Packet Radio Service (I think!!)... means you can use WAP without having to be connected the whole time - you only pay for data sent/received basically.

I can't be arsed to phone them, because whenever I do, they spend about 10 years explaining everything to me in great detail when all I want is a simple yes or no answer! :lol:

Does this mean that any photo messages I send by email will be free as well?
