Re: Multimedia messages

It would be great if you could add mms, to the monthly bundles, for each package. It does get quite frustrating that you have to top up separately to send mms messages.

simba9421 i think why its not allowed it might get abused.

There is some ideas for this over on giffgaff Labs, why not pop over and add your support 🙂

Here's one I found: Include MMS with goodybags

simba9421 Hi you could use an app like WhatsApp or similar to send MMS but the recipient must also have the app installed!

to be honest there are lots of apps through which you could sent MMS. so i can't see the reason why giffgaff would allow more allowance for MMS as that would drive up the prices

MMS is old tech and like texts on its way out. messaging apps like whatsapp etc are how most people tend to share multimedia

MMS is a difficult one - part data usage I think. Use Line app or another Social Network app

Not every Country will allow uncensored use of apps like whatsapp. Here in the UK there is little doubt that SMS and MMS are on the wane.

The number of SMS and MMS messages sent in the United Kingdom (UK) fell to 74 billion in 2018, from a peak of 162 billion in 2012.

Just use an app like Whatsapp. That is was we use in our family. You can send images, videos etc as long as you have access to WiFi or mobile data, at no extra cost to the bundle you have bought.

Didn't realise people still used mms for pic a etc when there are multiple 'free' apps available now .

Smarty does not require a balance to send MMS.

Do people really want the inconvenience of multiple apps when MMS is available as standard.?

Do people still use MMS hmm how many users would that benefit ?

gizzblue

tradertall exactly this ...i honestly cant ever remember any of my contacts personal or otherwise sending me anything through mms on my last three phones 😅

gizzblue If someone did send me an MMS I would have to have a word with them.
They wouldn't do it again in a hurry!
