mms now available under free apps

Robiow · 06-01-2009, 8:41 AM

it was going so well until I saw the price. I'll stick to email me thinks.

I'd rather pay for the app outright and send them free than the other way around. The iPhone tarriff is expensive enough without additional charges

Do you get charged for receving MMS messages with this app?

Uncle Bulge · 06-01-2009, 9:57 AM

swirley will do just fine lol

sim667 · 06-01-2009, 12:50 PM

I might download this..... i rarely use mms, but sometimes its handy....

Im currenty using a web app to do it.

sneeks · 06-01-2009, 12:58 PM

Excellent I'll download this as I do occasionally receive MMS so this will be handy. Unfortunately I do not have or want a PayPal account (I got robbed there in the past) so I'll be unable to send any MMS.

beckford · 06-01-2009, 1:15 PM

Yeah I've downloaded this. I receive mms quiet alot but hardly send them to be honest so this will come in handy. Cheers

I downloaded this this morning after being notified of it whilst using the web app. Only send now & again, but recieve quite alot ... so this is perfect for me!!

Only issue I've had with it is that the native app won't download my previous recieved messages, so I'm having to keep the web app too !!

Overall, very happy with it ..... well done guys, and thank you!!

According to the support forum they're onto that.

Doesn't put your mobile and pin number into this give your details away? Using that you can log in and se more that just your pics on the o2 website, you can change your bill etc?

littlealex · 06-01-2009, 5:57 PM

It's only the pin number to view mms pictures - they send it to you in a text message every time you get one so it's hardly a state secret!

Sorry for asking!

I thought it let you see your billing info...jeez!

riprse · 06-01-2009, 7:05 PM

I've downloaded this & I'm well pleased with it . At last I can get pictures without it being a hassel logging in to 02. Thanks for that

shardsta · 07-01-2009, 8:09 PM

Nice 1 works a treat and saves a lot of messing about!

avnutter · 10-01-2009, 12:42 PM

just downloaded it .
works pretty well.

Robiow · 10-01-2009, 1:02 PM

This was already mentioned a few days back, it's free to receive (like it always has been) but costs 35p to send one, I'll stick to free email.

kempez · 10-01-2009, 1:03 PM

Thanks for the heads up

addyb · 11-01-2009, 9:20 AM

Cant seem to get mine working properly. Finally ive got mine to recognise the pin etc and it shows 2 messages in my inbox but no picture displayed?

Ive checked the weblink and the pictures show on o2 website so cant work out why they aint showing.

gkf9 · 12-01-2009, 7:28 AM

It worked a couple of times for me and now says can't get messages.... To unreliable for my liking......I'm deleting it! Was a good try tho.

shardsta · 12-01-2009, 7:36 AM

your o2 4 digit pw might have changed, have you checked?

gkf9 · 12-01-2009, 7:46 AM

Yeah checked the pin it's the same. Just tryed the app again before I delete it and it's worked this time! Very hit and miss!! Can't complain tho seeing it's free... Will leave on for now.

Stick with it I think the app is fine but the o2 server is somewhat flakey. Mine was failing at the same time as my mates yesterday, then came back at the same time.

Jase Winter · 12-01-2009, 10:05 PM

I've got this app and it's all set up and working, does any one actually have new messages show up as you recieve them as they would a text message? (that little red circle with a number in it) or do you still just get a text saying you have a new mms and view it here then open the mms app to retrieve it?

gkf9 · 13-01-2009, 7:11 AM

You have to retrive the pic message with the app everytime you recieve a text from o2. You won't get no red symbol in your mms logo.

barongreenback · 13-01-2009, 9:59 AM

Not a bad effort really and less hassle that logging in via o2's website. Good proof of concept as well. Would be great if o2 would offer this officially but I won't hold my breath as I'm sure Apple's lawyers would crack down on it for some spurious reason.

My only minor criticism (and this really is just picking) is that it would be nice to have the logo identical in size and shape to the SMS icon, just a different colour like you're already doing. I like things to match

stevomacca · 14-01-2009, 1:40 PM

my messages show up and tells me who they're from etc but they never show me the picture/video contained withing?
Either says 'null' or is totally blank.
Any ideas how to fix this??
