T-Mobile launches picture messaging service

T-Mobile, formerly One2One, has launched the first true mobile-to-mobile multimedia messaging service (MMS) in the UK.

The service, called T-Mobile Picture Messaging, is the first mobile service in the UK to enable T-Mobile customers to create and combine personal images, sound clips or personal voice recordings and text into a single multimedia message and send it instantly from their mobile to another mobile or email address.

As part of the picture messaging package, T-Mobile customers can store their favourite picture messages on the web at www.t-mobile.co.uk, where they can also access a gallery of downloadable images and create and send new picture messages from the web to a mobile or email address.

Commenting on the launch, Clent Richardson, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at T-Mobile, said: “Our picture messaging service is the most significant in mobile services in the UK this year. This is a radical and hugely positive example of bringing our ‘Get more services’ brand promise to life. We’re adding sight to sound – forever changing mobile communications."

The new service is set to be launched with the Sony Ericsson T68i and the Sony Ericsson Communicam™.
