    Did you contact your phone company and get the MMS/ GPRS settings sent down to your phone ? (to tell your phone where to look for the messages, and how to connect to the net ?)

    someone will post a link to the setting that you can program in yourself... or yeah go into a shop and ask for the settings yourself...

    If i bought a phone for half the price that they were selling it for id be right on the phone !
    do vodafone sell the i-phone ? i thought it was only o2 in ireland.

    id be way too lazy to get out of the house too :)


    They are selling you the service, you can use what ever phone you want.
    (i got my new phone from ebay a month after it was released in the US... wasnt even released here ! :))

    the Iphone 3g(not sure about the 2g) cannot send or receive pics but you should get a link by sms to the pic.

    As the phone was jailbreak you can download an app from Cydia so send and receive MMS but you will need the settings for your provider, on the website of the app they have forum with some settings.

    I think there's a sticky with MMS and settings for to be able to browse the web on this section. TO lazy to look now.

    Regards

    An iphone cant send or receive picture messages. There is a third party app that does it but its crap. You also cant have delivery reports like other phones have either.

    Who is your service provider? If its o2 i can tell you the settings to be connected to the net. (I also have an unlocked iphone) :)
