Hi,

I've just got a motorola v3 razor, which I got unlocked and then put my current sim card in it, which is an old one 2 one sim card, which is now t-moblie. The camera takes pictures and stores them on the phone, but I can't send them as messages. Is this because it is an old sim, have new ones got new technology on them? and if so will I have to buy a new t-mob sim to send picture messages? Ta

PS Everything else works fine, calls, normal texts ect.

    This is becuase one 2 one don't exist any more, and therefore have no network for you to send the messages on!


    Yes, one 2 one did not support picture messaging, so this would be a problem. you should just be able to call tmobile to get an updated simcard.

    You will probably need to get photo messaging activated on your account. I have an Orange SIM that came with a Nokia 3330, and when I put it in my new phone I contacted customer services to get GPRS (data) and MMS (photo messaging) activated.

    It was a simple name change and the network used is exactly the same. You may just need to ask T-Mobile to activate this and if it is necessary they would send a new SIM out.
