Using MMS on GSM Network

No, no, I am not the all knowingly oracle ...
As far as I understand, MMS and GPRS are still in test mode. It seems there is still an issue on how to bill the customer for that service. With GPRS you are always connected to the Internet (a virtual connection). But you only get billed when there is traffic between your phone and the net.
Anyhow, this is what I found about MMS:
"GPRS is the minimum requirement, although MMS works also over circuit switched GSM"
I believe we have to wait for the GPRS launch. My cell has bluetooth and my laptop is now getting a bluetooth adapter ... ready for portable Internet access in T&T ... would be nice if I could use my GSM phone everywhere like I used my 'beloved' TDMA cell ... but in the past 8 months I have not gotten a better signal and I hardly use the phone ... and I am a few minutes away from POS.
Coverage is the main problem!
