I’ve got a genie unlimited text and wap sim card an all i pay is £10 a month does any body know when the mms is going to be released on the 02 payg network I know it works with my orange contract but that then defeats the fact of having a separate sim for text and wap to keep the bill to a minimum,,,
ps and how much will it cost |

not sure i understand the 'defeating the purpose' part.
i know your not implying it will be free on o2 as you've asked for the cost...or were you?
i use the same Genie sim with a T-Mobile contract line...been thinking about trying MMS on T-Mobile but i'm still holding out, it doesnt really have that much appeal to me at the moment as all i'd really use it for would be to take pics with the MCA-20 and email to people which i can do now for free on the Genie sim.
whichever line you choose i've read MMS will not be cross network for a while so your recipients will have to be on the same network as you.

by defeating the object i ment that theres no point on texting from orange contract as my bills would be up in the zeros,,,,
if mms is not cross networking then there is no point on it at the moment untill they do,,, i think its just gonna be a gimmick as i wont use it a lot but it would be nice to try it |

ok, i think i get you.
i have 2 T68's, makes things easier without having to swap sims all the time, i use both lines just text & wap only from my o2 sim.

o2 mms will cost 40p per message, if it is incorporated into a contract package the cost of each message is only 28p per message
this is the uk and correct at time of going to press
look at o2's media/press bit of the site and all info is there

dunno bout decoys settings but i do the same
the reason its free is because the acces to the pop3 account is via dial up and on my o2 tariff 500 of my wap dial up minutes are free, so since i use bout at most 300mins amonth on mailing then its free
i use blueyonder pop3 email
but as blueyonder doesnt support accesing its smtp unless its ur isp i use o2's smtp
so in my phone i got my incoming server as pop3.blueyonder.co.uk (though i got ip version which is 195.188.53.61)
my outgoing server as o2's smtp which is mail.o2.co.uk (again though i personally find more joy wiv ip which is 193.113.160.13)
mailbox : my blueyonder username
password : my blueyonder password
email address :  my email address !!
hope this helps
i did av this wrkin by gprs at one point but then i used a 7650 4 a week (not bad fone but prefere t68i still way more) n now it wont wrk wiv gprs only gsm dial up
neway...

i'm using similiar setup as Shibby, i've successfully sent pictures from an MCA-10 via the T68's email client, not wap email.
using Genie/o2 payasugo with unlimited free wap via the 915000 dial-up number.
i sent a pic using my Yahoo.co.uk account and also my ISP's POP3 email and it sent the photo with no problems, so far i havent used the MCA-20 where the size of the photo will be much higher in KB's hopefully...but i'm not sure how this will work whether the phone has to have the picture stored or if it can be sent direct from the camera...this would be interesting to know...ps Yahoo.co.uk account can be setup on your T68 without paying subscription to Yahoo, if you want more info on how to set it up let me know.

Hello All,
Could you tell me, those of you that are free texting and wapping, what package EXACTLY you have ?
I'm on voda but with wapping and texting the costs come in heavy each month - if there's a way to avoid that I'd be very happy !
I have used email client on T68/T68i extensively with MCA-20 and GPRS and it's great - only one problem the cost ! Voda are very expensive for GPRS, and it gets real dear when you consider the average send and receive on email is about 30 Kb ( that's including reading a few messages too ).
So, if I have to go back to pay as you go with o2 and wap dial-up, so be it - no probs if I am getting 00's of free texts and free WAP mins !
By the way, having tried MMS and Email, I much prefer the email solution as it's fast, efficient, and I'm not that concerned about seeing some sound and a slide show in my message !
Your info on the contract/pay as you go SIMs you have would be much appreciated
Thanks

once upon a time genie (02) was giving away payg sims cards to people that rang them, and at the time they was unlimited wap and unlimited text sims and all you have to do is to top up £10 a month and this £10 would go onto your calls after that then they offered 600 texts unlimited wap then there was 300 texts and unlimited wap and now they dont but keep looking in the papers as it is alway advertized in them all you need to do is ring them and have an email address |
