    No worries.

    It may be that your dad doesnt have MMS activated on his phone account. Get him to ring the network (O2, Orange or whoever) and check if MMS is activated. If not then they can do this for him but it can take up to 24 hours to start working. ;o)

    i went onto the networks site and got the settings for it sent from there but that seemed to be just the same as what we got from samsung. i had a look in the settings on his phone and compared them to mine. what i discoverd is mine is set to T-mobile MMS and his was set to T MOBILE MMS. his phone has many options to choose from. i have now set his to the same as mine. i havent tested it coz i dont have much credit but if that hasnt fixed it then nothing will. i will also create an account for him on the networks website as that will show anything relevant like what you have suggested.

    ps we discovered something else that is odd. to find out how much credit we have left we can find out by dialing 150. however his phone refuses to dial 150. when we press 150 it appears as 152.
  • Hi,

    maybe not much help to you, but I'm on Tesco Value, (frugal) through O2, and any pics I get sent I have to go online to view them, is your dad on an economy package?
