...or MMS, whatever it's called!

Can someone help me set it up on my mobile? The muppets in the shop are no help at all! [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

I've got a Sony Ericsson T610 on Vodafone. I have just upgraded the phone from a T100 so I'm still on the same tariff as before.

I can't seem to send picture messages, do vodafone need to do something to my account/number? The phone came with the following WAP profiles: Vodafone live! and Vodafone MMS, both of which are dodgy as you can't edit the settings or delete them. I've tried sending myself the settings from www.vodafone.co.uk but the MMS one just crashes the phone when you select 'save'.

There is also a Data comm. setting - I assume preferred service needs to be GPRS and GSM? Under Data accounts there are loads of options: Vodafone GPRS, Vodafone WAP, Vodafone live!, Vodafone.

I'm usually quite good with technology & stuff so this is really annoying me ! My mate said that you have to send them through email but that sounds silly to me.

Please help!

I have the same phone on Orange and had to get them to enable my account in order for me to send them.
Cheers

N.B. The phone came with a new SIM card which the guy said I might need, but my old one seems to work fine for all other aspects of using the phone.... Could the SIM be the cause of the problem?

Yes, your SIM needs to be MMS (data) enabled.

Cheers guys, I spoke to someone at Vodafone who had at least half a brain and it turns out my SIM was not enabled for MMS.

I would have thought that seeing as they have just sent me a picture phone they would have had the foresight to make sure my account was MMS enabled? Tw@ts!

Should be working by thursday, so at last 'Operation Thong Watch' can commence this weekend...
