Question

I CALLED ALLTEL && THEY SAID IT IS INCLUDED BUT THEY PROLLY JUST SAY THAT TO GET MONEYY OUT OF ME. SOO PLEASE HELPPP?

Answer 1

Well, if you just have text messaging then you can just text. If you purchase MULTIMEDIA MESSAGING then you can send/receive pictures or videos.

Answer 2

They won't charge you for the message itself, but they may charge you for the data being sent. Check your plan for more information, but often carriers will charge a person in two ways for pic/video messaging: the message itself and the size of the picture/video being sent. They normally charge by the kilobyte, but it isn't unusual for a picture or video message to cost a dollar or more in data charges.

All of this depends on your carrier...ask them specifically about charges for data when sending picture and video messages.

Answer 3

well i have sprint and it might be the same way but when ever i got a pic message or vid message then it would make me connect to the internet in order to get it and when ever i downloaded the pic or vid from the Internet on my phone it cost me like a certain amount of money depending on the size or the pic or vid. So try to get a pic or vid message and see if it makes u connect to the internet. But i didnt know that when i got myphone and racked up $40 in bills and my parents were pissed
