Hi there all,
I have managed today to straighten up some things regarding MMS with O2-Uk.
I got all this info via several phone calls to different sections within the company and I hope it will be useful to some of you out there.
Firstly, MMS messages will be taken out of your original allowance (i.e. if you signed up to the £35 contract you had 500 messages), the MMS messages will be deduced from the allowance as 4 messages per message (so if you have a £35 contract you will get 125 MMS messages). If you have the unlimited text bolt on this WILL NOT give you additional MMS messages, you can only use your bolt on for standard SMS messages. O2 did not comment on if they would be providing a MMS bolt on of any kind, they also did not comment on how much additional MMS messages would be if you over run your allowed amount.
From what I could work out during the phone calls; Pay and Go iPhone users will be charged out of their current balance, and I heard that I could be around 35p per MMS message sent (I have not had definite confirmation on this however).
I was also told that O2 will officially switch on MMS services for the iPhone within the next few weeks (I was told next week by the last guy I phoned). I have had reports from friends that MMS can be enabled by altering the carrier bundle.
I also asked the obvious, tethering, I received no comment on what was planned regarding this but I wasn’t expecting to hear anything on this front.
Just a reminder, this applies to O2 customers, within the UK only!
Hope this proved helpful to people wondering about MMS, please Thank as well.
Any questions please PM me
