Do you get charged for recieving mms picture messages. Strange my credit has gone down and all i did yesterday was get 3 picture messages in a txt message from 2 friends. 1 picture txt message from a blackberry on 3 network and 2 from a friends iphone on orange. Surely it's not right the reciever gets charged. Or am i missing something?. I didnt reply to them, but it's not about the misisng 70 odd pence thats miffed me, just curious, so i am aware thats all!.

I thought it was O2 who do 'simplicity', not Voda.

That said, you could have easily found this yourself:

There's no charge for receiving a picture message, unless you're abroad

Your phone is not a smartphone, is it?

grumbler i've removed the ref simplicity coz i'm wrong lol.. Will log into online account to see if they have it there what sim plan i'm on. Phone is a Nokia 5230 smartphone.

edit it's called Simply

grumbler

I guess you were charged for the mobile internet then.

Grumbler really and why would they do that when all i'm doing is reading txt message. Plus is voda's internet 50p a day.

grumbler

Many smartphones (don't know about yours) can use internet without asking you.

Just spoke to voda CS and my phone is connecting to the net at £1 a day when i receive a mms message. So really need to know what setting i can change to stop this happening. CS couldnt help and were as much use as a chocolate fire guard.

grumbler

Just disable mobile data in the phone or ask the CS to do this on their side if you never use it.

CS couldnt help and were as much use as a chocolate fire guard. Said i needed to go into shop. I use phone for internet when i top up and get it included.
