Am 07. Jan, 2008 schwätzte Charles Jones so:
Attached is a link to a screenshot
<http://www.the-ownage.com/gallery/albums/Miscellaneous/rogersucks.png> of
what I received. I couldn't believe it. For anyone who doesn't want to click
the link, here is a summary:
* No matter what subject he sets for his message, it gets overriden with "You
have received a Picture Message from your Rogers Wireless friend..."
* Besides the picture that he meant to send, included in the message were a
DOZEN OTHER ATTACHMENTS!
* ...including advertisements in picture format, and other needless crap like
their logo banner, verisign logos, etc.
So basically the MMS "feature" of his cell service is useless, as they force
in a bunch of spam images and override your subject and body text with their
own. We tested and it does this even if sending mobile-to-mobile MMS. What
are they thinking?
This is why I want bluetooth syncing to my computer over my network and
not using their network. If there is syncing over their network I want it
via an encrypted tunnel from my phone/PDA to my computer and only open on
the originating device and my network.
The phone company doesn't need copies of my pictures and doesn't need to
be mucking with them or tracking them.
Maybe it's time to try community run mesh networks again :).
ciao,
der.hans
