Receiving small multimedia messages N73

I have an unlocked N73 on the Cingular network and so far am very happy with it.

I have one problem that is puzzling me though, and wondered if anyone has experienced this or is there something I'm missing in the settings.

I can take pics and send them out, email them, message them and they come out fine to wherever I send them as far as good size, but when I get any kind of pic, document or anything sent to me the size is always limited to 2kb.

Makes it very small, to where you can't see it well.

All my settings in messaging are set to original size multimedia, and have also tried the large setting as well to no avail.

Is this something that Cingular is limiting me to or another setting I am missing?

Thanks in advance.
 
Cingular doesn't register the IMEI (since it's a phone they don't offer) and therefore throttle the size down. They do this automatically, just in case the receiving phone is something like a 6030 or something. Real annoying, but oh well. Thems the breaks.
 
Thanx for your reply, this may change everything for me as I wanted to get the N95 when it comes out as well, but I assume this will fall into that catergory as well. One of the things I like to do is to be able to send stuff back and forth with the girlfriend only I can't get her stuff that well.

I may have to take a hard look at the N75 when released by Cingular as I take it that would be able to do this without problem.

This really throws a hitch in getting the N95 as I really wanted that phone.

Is there any kind of work around for this?
 
the only workaround is setting up the built-in email client to like gmail or someother pop3 inbox and having your girlfriend send her mms' to that email instead of your phone number. shouldn't be too difficult, and will charge her the same, only YOU will be using data instead of MMS. I would assume you'd send her mms' the same as you always have, as you said those come through just fine?

The N75 will for sure support regular MMS, as it's supported by Cingular.

And yes, ANY phone not offered by Cingular will have the same problem, including any other N- or E-series phones.
 
I will work on getting something setup, which may take me a while as I am rather noobie when it comes to some of this stuff.

Yes my mms" to her are fine as she has a cingular phone.

thanks for all the info, some of these questions are rather well known to a lot of u, I'm sure.
 
I'd suggest either Gmail or Inbox.com. Both offer free pop3 email services, and are very easy to setup with the phone's built-in email program.
 
Are you referring to the security certificate error? It's kinda been fixed. What you have to do is extract one of the certificates from your desktop pc and send it to your phone. It installs and everything on its own, you just gotta find it. If you search the S60 forums for gmail certificate, you'll probably come up with the right thread. Real easy, I did it on my 6682, N80, and N73 (with the same certificate) and everything is peachy-keen now.
