I'll look into the picture mail thing and take a look at the forums!Frugal(er)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13972354611688622400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4971083762875016745.post-45248978905262552872014-02-27T06:25:29.993-05:002014-02-27T06:25:29.993-05:00HI, I am a fellow Ting customer, and a Ting evange...HI, I am a fellow Ting customer, and a Ting evangelist! Welcome to the fold! I am also a member of the Ting Army (just a bunch of geeks who like to help where we can).<br />I can say this, if you were frustrated with Sprint service, that may remain with ting. While the billing is different, it uses Sprint's network, so coverage, call quality, etc. will be the same or similar.<br /><br />As far as MMS (picture texts), it normally only requires changing a setting or two in your phone to get it to work. Open a support ticket and one of their excellent representatives will guide you through, or post in the forum and someone will help (or they will open a ticket as the reps watch the forums!)<br /><br />I use the Google Voice app on a smartphone so that I can have two different numbers, and can get use google voice for my voicemails. There are a lot of different ways to set it up, but since you have a flip phone it is probably a bit more limited and easier. There is a huge post in the ting forums on working with Google Voice, so check there and ask around, I bet you will be up and running soon!<br /><br />If you get more questions about Ting, you can always send people to my article explaining it: http://bradthegeek.hubpages.com/hub/Saving-Money-on-your-Mobile-Phone-Bill-with-Ting<br /><br />Take care!BradTheGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04739805697051199271noreply@blogger.com
