  • Really ? They never charged me more than £0.00 for them - all itemised, but all charged at £0.00
    There are 10 types of people in the world, those that understand binary and those that don't

    In many cases it helps if you say where you are - someone with local knowledge might be able to give local specifics rather than general advice

    At present they are free.

    Its Picture and MMS messages you want to watch.
    They are downloaded using GPRS. The mobile networks don't charge for download costs for receiving them but they have to absorb the cost when you are roaming and receive one.

    I expect this will change but they will need to update there billing systems first to track the download associated with it.
