Mobile phone foto text problem

Postby Bongtrees » Sun Aug 12, 2012 11:23 am

2 people in Spain have been unable to send a picture text to the UK each saying others say its impossible as well.

Any ideas most welcome as I dont know what else to suggest to them. Neither has a computer either.

I regularly send photographs using Movistar without any problems.

I have no problems doing so via my Spanish contract phone (with Orange) but cannot send them using my UK Pay as you Go phone (also with Orange) either to or from the UK.

I think it's to do with Contract versus PAYG but don't hold me to that.

I was wondering that because both have Spanish PAYG fones.

Was told by one of them that she was limited as to how many overseas calls she can make on her Spanish PAYG following her need to make loads of calls from Spain to UK recently, she said was told the limit was €90 per month.

It is also to do with phone settings and operator settings. I cannot receive pix on my Samsung s2 unless I have the data connection turned on. my wife can receive pix on her nokia without a data connection, though I had to contact the operator to get it set that way

I should have added, my phone is Pay as You Go. It costs about €2 to send a photograph.
