My service provider charges for picture messages. Is there some kind app that will work around this? I know I can send pictures via facebook/email etc for free but then the recipient won’t get a ‘bing’ notification as I’ve they are all set to silent to stop the phone going crazy. It’s only to the mrs so happy to put an app on both phones.

Yes, whatsapp amongst others. It also includes lots of emoticons such as (my personal favourite) ‘turd with a smiley face’

having just obtained android phones I’m interested in this too. Friends suggested WhatsApp, might be worth looking at that

yes, whatsapp works well. Will use up data allowence or wifi if available.

instagram, email?

email.

top tip whichever one you choose don’t turn off the notifications for 🙂

why would ou need to send pics of your nob to your wife ? – mine’s about the only contact I don’t picture-message on an hourly basis

Whatsapp or email for me.

WhatsApp is free for a year, then you pay a few pennies. Email works but you can’t send emoticons of dragons and smiley poo
