if we install the apache mms prog and use the pic/vid mail do we get charged? on regular cell phones we would pay for that service but with this method do we?
thanx!

Yeah, you definitely get charged. I'm not sure exactly how though. When someone sends you a pic or vid it doesn't just it straight to your phone. It sends you a link that you have to go to and view it on the web. So I would think you get charged for 1 text message for the link and then the data usage used to get on the web and view the pic or vid.

Well you didn't specify. You just said if you use it do you get charged. How about just using it and see?
