Picture Messaging - M55
Last response: in Network Providers
Archived from groups: alt.cellular.fido (More info?)
Although Fido has finally fixed their picture messaging service, I still
cannot send a sound to my phone.
The picture messaging feature on their website allows to send Text with
Picture and Sound messages to the phone. Last week it wasn't working and
calling Fido I ran into incompetence - no surprise there. In order to
troubleshoot the situation they wanted me to send MMS messages to my phone
and wouldn't cover the cost to send each message. They told me there was no
other way to troubleshoot - idiots.
Now the website feature is working, but I noticed they upped the price to
$0.35 from last week's $0.25. I've sent a picture to my phone to used as
background, but I can't send a sound. The WAV I attached is 130k and on
their website it says I can send up to a 300k attachment to my M55.
When I try to send it tells me message was sent, but I never receive
anything.
Anyone having the same problems? Is there any website where one can send MMS
messages to Fido phones for free? That would be excellent. I have the
management software, but it doesn't allow you to use a file manager.
TIA

Just spoke with fido.
Since their web site is broken, I can't access the part that sends
stuff. But the 4 legged furry rep told me that from the fido site, you
don't actually send an MMS to the handset, you send a WAP pointer to the
image stored on the fido site, and you therefore pay for the GPRS
charges on the image.
MMS from handset to handset doesn't incur GPRS usage charges for
anything below 300k. So the 0.35 is a damned good deal since that is
essentially 100k's worth of GRSP usage at 3 cents per k.
If you have your own web site, you can download your image there and
just pick it up on the WAP browser, or alternatively, you can send an
email to a mailbox and then use your phone to pickup the email via POP,
and you xcan then store the attached image. (this costs more because
binary data is mime encoded and thus takes up more bytes than if you get
it direct from a web site).

Thanks for the reply. I just found software today that has an explorer
function and I can just plug my phone via USB to the PC and browse my
phone, delete, upload, download sounds, pictures, colour shcemes, etc.
Cheers
