Recently, when taking photos with the Samsung A501 NextG phone, or
taking video clips, when I try to MMS them the phone says "file size too
big" or similar and won't send them.

Now, I can't find any info on what limitations there are with MMS
messaging and file sizes. Any of you able to assist here? I'd like to
make sure that it's either a network issue or a phone issue before I go
back to the dealer to try and resolve this.

Thanks

I'm not familiar with the phone, however my samsung has the following: Take
video/Options/Settings/Recording mode, select Limit of MMS.
You'll have to manually select a lower quality and picture size for pics,
and turn it back up when you want a quality shot.

Thanks. I've changed it to that (it appears that the Samsungs are
reasonably consistant across the model ranges).

Hopefully this will be OK. I've also got video quality set to "super
fine" and 176x144. The other setting is 128x96. I'll change that too if
it doesn't work on "limit for SMS" option.
