I'm going to, but right now I can't... For some odd reason I cannot sign in onto the Blyk website. I don't know if this is just a universal problem or just me, but it's odd how it coincides with me wanting to complain!

If it's no better by later I will give Blyk a ring, and I'll find out what's wrong!

EDIT: All is fine now!

Ricky,
I think I might do that; although I have mentioned it a couple of times in my complaints about them on the Forums. Then again, I suppose that all I will get is “We will pass your concerns on to the head office” or some other toil like that.
What ever happened to having a human response eh?

Giff,
In all honesty it total depends on the campaign. Some do not need any MMS fuctions so should be a SMS, however for some of the more innovative messages messages need to be in MMS to be effective. Personally I prefer the SMS, especially if BLYK wants to enter a dialogue with you its much easier.

In regards to retrieving the MMS, i simply get a MMS delivered to my phone just like an SMS. I do not find either method hard to use!

Mamanfie, I agree with you impart about how they treat members. I think you should post your views on the blyk forum, it would be nice to see their response.

Ricky,

Can you comment on the effectiveness of SMS versus MMS? To what degree do you prefer one delivery method over the other? Here in the states not everyone is very educated on MMS and a good deal just don't understand how to retrieve the messages. What do you see in the UK?

I'm facinated to find out about the results of that poll, moreover I'm astonished at how you're being treated in respect to this Blog.
I'm pretty sure Blyk must be extremely worried about this, because I've never heard of a company or business acting like how they are towards you. Although, it angers me to know that they won't listen to us unless they face some pressure from the public eye. It's one of the biggest downfalls of Blyk; they refuse to keep us in the know, and treat the members a little like Children in the regards to how much we're told about upcoming services, problems, and possible improvements. They have seriously underestimated their audience for sure.

Anyways, I enjoyed this again, really good and facinating!

Samantha.
