I am checking to see if you can use the send voice note option to send the message as an attachment via the email (data) service, rather than as an MMS Message. I am running with unlimited data, not unlimited phone and I don't want to have to pay for this. Any Ideas?

I've sent the MMS to myself and then forward using an email account. But sending to yourself i suppose costs money.

Third-party app allows you to save it to your device and then you can send via email and the attachment function.

I use Multiplay:

NEW!! v1.1 of mediaPlayer and multiPlay relased with full screen video playpack!

I has more robust media player, voice recorder (with save function), file manager, and text notes.
