Telecom has announced that inter-network MMSing will be 50 cents per message sent after its promo period (read: alpha test) has finished. The promo will see messages go through at 20c.

This seems to be typical of Telecom - release a service, and then figure out how to charge the correct amount for it later. (Which is fine by me!!)

027 users will also be able to recieve video messages from 021, but sending has yet to be announced.

No charge for recieving messages (as usual).

So.... any comments? Does it really cost 2.5 times as much to send an MMS to an 021 than to an 027?

Surely Vodas MMS volume isnt -that- much bigger than Tcom these days - why not just forward the messages at no extra cost, and avoid the red tape at both ends? (and kiss and make up, and hold hands while strolling through flowery meadows).
