What a load of useless bollocks!

I thought I would use my funky new phone to take a picture of something I wanted to share with my bro. I sent it to him as an MMS multimedia message, assuming that he would receive it just like a simple SMS text message. No. What he actually got was a text message with password in it, instructing him to go to the cellphone network's website where he could view the message and picture I had just sent him. So if I've understood this right, I can't send a picture to someone who won't have access to a PC with internet access.

Do they think this is a useful feature? I sure don't! :wtf:

1. Useful in driving non-customers to their web site, I'm sure.

My phone does something similar, but with no password, so as yet everyone I've sent pictures to has received them.

2. I don't think that that's always the case.

I seem to remember my little sister first getting one and doing that.

I can't remember how she works it as I don't have a picture 'phone - but there was some different way which did work.
