Will AT&T Charge Extra For MMS & Tethering?
snydeq writes "InfoWorld's Bill Snyder questions whether AT&T's jockeying on tethering and MMS may signal coming iPhone pricing surcharges. After all, as Apple's exclusive US partner, Ma Bell should have plenty of insight into upcoming iPhone features and revenue opportunities. Yet AT&T was very conspicuous in its absence from the list of providers who will support tethering and MMS at Tuesday's launch of the new iPhone at WWDC, and by Wednesday, it was backpedaling furiously, saying it will offer both services — later in the year. Certainly, the exclusive arrangement between the companies is proving to be an ugly roadblock to Apple's iPhone vision. But Snyder thinks it may go deeper than that: 'My best guess is that we'll see horrendous pricing surcharges for tethering and MMS, on top of the already expensive data and voice charges iPhone users pay. I don't think AT&T execs wanted to stand up at WWDC and announce that.'"
You've put up one too many posts sounding like a salesman or a Sprint or Palm employee. I now must disregard everything you've written. I'm very happy for all the happy owners of whatever smartphone floats your boat. So now let's get on with exchanging information instead of crowing (or dissing) this device or that.

You're completely missing it.
Steps to send to MMS:
Click picture, select MMS, select contact.
Steps to send to e-mail:
Click picture, select MMS, select THE NEW CONTACT THAT YOU PUT IN FOR HER THAT IS YOUR E-MAIL.
That's it. ONE different step, and it's not even a different step. It just requires that she clicks 'Son (e-mail)' or 'Son (pictures)' instead of 'Son'. If your mother can't handle that then I hope to god she doesn't have a car.
