MMS Receiving Abroad Cost?

[Dave]

How much if anything would it cost to receive media messages abroad whilst
roaming?

I'm on o2 200 contract.

Many thanks in advance.
Regards, Dave

It would be reliant, surely, on the network you're on supporting MMS. It'd
be free to recieve i suspect, although i also suspect the network you're
roaming on would use any chance to get o2 to charge for accessing GPRS, as
that's how you get MMS messages, through a proxy using GPRS.

In thinking about it, if you read the details of an MMS message, it has an
internal IP class C address (jargon?) so i dont think you could recieve MMS
abroad.

By the way, it's worth mentioning, in some countries you can only recieve
MMS messages if you're both on the same network.
