Are you aware that it is possible for Vodafone subscribers to view the picture messages that are sent to their phones, even if the phones are unable to display multimedia messages? This is possible through the web-based Vodafone ‘Get My Photo’ service. Through the Vodafone ‘Get My Photo’ service, you can view not just picture messages, but also messages that are made up of sound and/or video clips. This is what happens: when a multimedia (picture, sound or video) message is sent to you, as a Vodafone subscriber, Vodafone detects whether or not your phone is able to display the message. If it is detected that your phone is unable to display the message, a text is sent to you, informing you that you have the option of viewing the message online. The text in question comes with a password for you to enter, at the Vodafone website, in order to view the multimedia message that was sent to you – and which your phone was unable to display.
