I am having real trouble sending picture messages on this new phone in ireland. Has anyone else had the same problem?
o2 have not helped, in fact they are fkng useless.
Anyone else?

I'm not in Ireland myself, but have you got all the right settings? You may have the UK settings instead of the Ireland ones?

Take a look at the o2-ire website, there should be a section on sending the settings to your mobile.
