Anything I need to know?
You don't need to subscribe to this service. Just make sure you use the full international telephone number when you call. If you plan to send a picture or video message, make sure that your phone supports MMS.
By the way, if you're sending an MMS (picture or video message) to someone in a country where 3 isn't connected to the MMS provider, your friend will need to go online to view it.
