Send and receive full colour photos and video images from capable phones. MMS stands for Multi-media Messaging Service… it's basically techy speak for Photo & Video Messaging.
Set up your phone for Photo Messaging
1. Send a Blank text message to 141 (free of charge) or click HERE to kick off your setup online.
We’ll then send you a text message that has the settings you need for your phone. You need to save this message when you receive it.
This should work on most phones but if not, give us a buzz on 1300 555 100.
Then you need to send a photo before you can receive one.
2. Send an Photo (MMS) Message
Before you can receive Photo Messages, you need to send one.
Not all phones are the same but here’s a general guide:
To do this in your phone's menu, just select “Multimedia Messages” under Messages and then select “Create”.
You’ll be prompted to write text and then choose “Options” to attach images.
Then choose “Options” and select “Send”.
If you don’t know anyone who’s hooked up to receive MMS, just send your MMS to us on 0403 991 MMS (0403 991 667). It’s free and we’ll even send a text back to you!

If your mobile is busy, not answered, turned off or out of range… the caller will be sent straight to your Voicemail box so they can leave you a message.
Your Voicemail box will store up to 25 messages - new messages for 14 days and kept messages for 7 days, just call 212 to access!
Note: If you pre-pay, your account must be active (in credit) to access your Voicemail.
How do I use my voicemail?
It's as easy as dialling 212 on your mobile phone!
You can also use Quick dial location 1 in your mobile's phonebook.
Take a look at your phone's manual if you are unsure how to do this.
Your voicemail comes with its very own greeting.
But you can always record a Personal Welcome that expresses your individual personality.
To do this… it's as simple as following the instructions on your voicemail (dial 212).
It's a really good idea to set up a Security Code on your voicemail.
After all, you don't want others listening to your private messages!
To set up your Code, again just listen to the instructions on your voicemail (dial 212).
Your mobile lets you know you have a new message waiting by a "beep" and showing an envelope symbol on the screen.
Delete the message after you've listened to it, because it takes up memory space on your phone. You should delete it from your Text too.

A great alternative to Voicemail. Instead of listening to your messages, an operator takes your calls and sends you the message via a text-message
Your Virgin Mobile account is automatically set up with Voicemail, but you'll need to call into the Virgin Mobile Team on 1300 555 100 so we can activate your Page-mail. Don't worry… it's simple.
Once activated, you can change between Page-mail and Voicemail at any time by going into the 'diversions' section on your phone and keying-in 212 for Voicemail, or 258 for Page-mail.
