Any time you access their MMS web servers for downloading the pic, it is exempt from being counted against on your account.

Yeah but here's the thing: for some reason, without my knowledge or consent, it somehow registers as a charge. This has happened to me several times already and I have complained to them about it. They lifted to charges once, but now their solution is for me to add a data plan, which I have no use for since browsing the Internet on my phone is inconvenient.

I'm calling it a scam because they seem to be eager to charge their customers with extra fees. And it's like a trap that I inadvertently fall into. They said to avoid clicking a link that would show me a picture but I don't recall ever doing so, so I'm guessing that the only way to be sure is to block port 80 on my phone.
