o2 now charging me for MMS, when they used to be in my text bundle

I only received this message today, I'm not happy with being charged never mind the sort notice of 3 days!!

It's been well documented though. The date it came into effect was a day or two before iphone4 came out. The intention was that all contracts renewed from that date, would lose allowance MMS/international texts from October.

I renewed my contract in May SPECIFICALLY to stay on the old tariff as it had allowance MMS/international SMS benefit.

I have not had the text.

Just noticed on O2's website you can now get 50 MMS for £5.

I currently get MMS for £0.00 (4 inclusive texts), so that is still an increase for me.

I signed up last October to 1200 mins, 500 texts and U/L internet, with 4 for 1 texts on MMS and roaming texts.

I send quite a few MMS and if they charge me from 25th October for MMS I will be straight on the phone for a PAC code.

I took my contract out in feb so I'm on the old tariff. I signed a contract when mms was free so you can see why I'm not happy with the charges or short notice.

MMS is a dead horse now, if you have data in your contract then just use email instead it is much much better (esp if you use a smartphone like iphone, android, or blackberry)

There are pro's and cons to both systems, not all users frequent their email box but all have a phone number and mms is instant but does limit the picture size.

Always had the web bolt on from day 1, use often near 1gb data per month, only to people I know got a text about heavy data use, 1 had used 11gb :eek:, the other was downloading dvds so that was not surprising

Are the people who got the text on an iphone tariff?
