Now that free PXT has finished, it's all good that Vodafone have dropped the price on PXT to 20c.
The thing that baffles me is the charge of a Video PXT, it's $1 per message. Seems kind of pricey when it's still only using 100kb of traffic just like a PXT??.

Is it costing Vodafone more to send some how??.

Post your thoughts if any...

Kickass

The Vodafone restriction is set to 100KB per MMS. This means that the network will allow transmission of an MMS up to the size of 100KB. This does NOT take into account the handset size restriction.

The issue with charging is "average". The MMS can be set to 100KB because the majority of of MMS will not go past 30KB. The people who send 10KB and subsidising the users who send 100KB of MMS.

Video's are much larger. Therefor the average video will be much higher in size which throws this balance off. A low user will not be able to subsidise the high end users and allow Vodafone to keep the $0.20 price tag.
