mailing pictures - with unlimited smartphone connected
|
|
|
|
I mailed some pictures via outlook on 3125. I was charged multimedia
message charge of .25 per message.
I am trying to figure out if I have unlimited smartphone connect should I be
charged, as I am not using xpress mail ?
Secondly, is there another way in which I would not have to pay ? i.e.
using web mail / myspace ? Has anybody tried it ?

Messaging isn't (Internet) connect.

To avoid a messaging charge, you either need a messaging package, or to
use the Internet (e.g., email, WAP).

| John,
I would appreciate more help.
I used outlook express - on the smart phone to connect to my personal mail
server. In otherwords, I was sending email via outlook express. does this
also count as messaging ?
In you post you mentioned email, can you elaborate more.

| If you used Outlook Express to send a real email, not an MMS message,
then you wouldn't (shouldn't) see an MMS message charge. I don't have a
3125, so I'm only speculating, but perhaps your Outlook Express is
configured to use MMS messaging rather than email -- check the
configuration. And perhaps try a different email client that you know
can be configured to use an SMTP server, or that will upload your
pictures over WAP (as in the case of the Google Mail client).
p.s. Please don't switch posting styles (top vs bottom) in mid-thread
-- it's annoying and confusing. Thanks.

I'm only familiar with the Treo. Are you sending the picture via the
function from the camera? If so, you get hit for messaging.

On the 8525, select 'pictures and videos', a picture, 'send':
options for Outlook, Hotmail and MMS appear.
I think I have mine setup for Outlook via ActiveSync, Hotmail via PIE and
MMS is video messaging for 25 cents each.
(Text message is grayed out).
