I've only had MMS for about 3 weeks now and already I'm bored with it. The main problem is that I can only send to other folks on same network - O2.
The sh1T I had sorting my phone out with O2 - it just wasn't worth it.
Does anyone know when I will be able to send mms on x-network???

Just think you having a wicked fone like the ericsson everyone will follow, I know I did.
Before all I had was nokia's and now the ericsson has the T68's I am more than happy.

I use mms for regular text messages instead of sms, since it's still free for a few months...

remeber when you could only send sms to the same network well what i used to do is to add the country code ie +447797****** and i was able to cross network my sms's at the time maybe it will work with mms. i dont know as my t68 is f**ked so i cant test it
t68 zircon gold flashed to i software with ict-13, drs-11, cha-10, desktop charger all sorts of cd's and software up for sale |

Hopefully you will be able to send MMS messages cross-network (within the U.K. at least) early next year, probably sometime AFTER the free MMS promotion.
The problem is getting all the operators to agree cross-networking charges, whether they want to charge per message or by the amount of data sent. If they all agree the same method (most prefer the latter) then it will make billing easier.
It doesn't make any difference to the user which they choose, but until they sort it all out amongst themselves there will not be any cross-network MMS.

I have to say I would be a bit disappointed if the networks chose to charge on a data quantity basis. I really don't want to be thinking how much data each MMS would cost - I would probably send fewer based on that.
A standard price 'per message' would be far more transparent and would more likely take off with much younger phone owners. I suspect the networks feel that they can sneak more money out of the unwitting consumer!! Aghhhhh - I'm getting cynical in my old age!  :

you are right to be a cynic, but are looking at the problem the wrong way round.
when t-mobile launched their £20/month tariff with 10 megs of data for mms, the price was dramatically cheaper than all the other networks who charge 30-40p a message.
they get away with it though because no one knows how much data they use in an mms, and because 40p chunks is a lot cheaper sounding than £20.
you'll never win. |

I sent one MMS to my mate, and never used it again.
I did "draw" (more like a childish scrawl really) a picture and record my own sound clip with it... took A-G-E-S

I find the biggest problem is the time it takes to create a mms. Text messages are very quick and easy - mms needs treble the time and concentration.
Perhaps future software on newer phones may simplify things a bit.
