Is Bluetooth Really Free

Hi everyone.

People keep telling me that it's free to send pictures and ringtones via bluetooth. Is this correct or will it come off of my message allowance?

The reason for asking is that I have just got a new phone with all the mod cons and I would like to send some of the pictures from my old one to the new one as the new one has the facility to download and print.

Both phones have bluetooth and are both currently active.

Thanks.
If only I knew then what I know now :)

    if u are going to be doing alot of data transferring esp from ur pc/laptop i would recommend a bluetooth dongle, it's alot easier than having to plug a wire in everytime u want to transfer something as u can just leave it plugged in all the time HTH :)
  • WOW......That was quicker than trying to find out on the internet:eek:

    Thanks everyone.

    Just got to work our how to use my new phone properly now!
