Receiving MMS properly on 8700g

[buzzlightyear]

Having stepped up to a 8700g, I noticed that I should be able to receive and send MMS. I have 2 service book entries for MMS which seem to match the "manual" setting given on T-Mobiles (UK) web site however when I get sent an MMS it just comes through as a standard SMS with the standard please visit T-Mobile website and enter you phone number and a code number to see the picture (i.e the same as it was on the 7100t I had)

Anyone getting MMS ok ? Am I missing a trick here.

I had the same issue. When I called T-Mobile, they said I need to activate the MMS service on a handset level by sending an MMS to myself. A little strange, but it worked, and I am now able to receive MMS.

I just tried this on Rogers (sending to myself) and it works.
Interesting. It seems that the only way to send a picture from the Blackberry is by MMS or to a Blackberry Messenger contact, not by email.
