It gets a little clearer if you check the site. 99p is for postcards sent from the UK - it's £1.49 if you are out of the UK. Maybe I'll stick with my current method for now but I'll have to check what the costs are compared.

Seems o2 charge me 25p to send a picture message from abroad so I guess I'll stick to sending them via my phone and adding the words as I do now. I can send 6 for the same charge as Postcards.

Nice idea though - if you want a hard copy picture sending.

Yes but as UBT says, not everyone can receive picture messages. Also people often like getting a postcard. I'm looking forward to baffling my old mum - she'll never understand any of it, how it came so quick, how it doesn't have a foreign stamp on it & how they sell postcards in foreign countries with our kids in the photo - priceless :D

and the office wall. I have been to some lovely places but there are no postcards of my trips as I cannot be hassled with the buying of a stamp etc - and it's 99p to send TO the Uk and £1.49 to send it to the rest of the world. Not £1.49 to send it if you are outside of the UK. 8)

Yes Stoop, you must have been some financial advisor with your understanding of pricing :D

Correct, and that is not what you said in your earlier post - yes, I can quite possibly see how you did well - I can hear them, "yeah I got my pension with Slippery Stoop"  ;)

Initially you said it was 99p for postcards sent from the UK, whereas it is 99p for postcards sent to the UK. Nice change of view Stoop :D

Scunner -I'd like to know if you used the app whilst you were on your holiday in Spain?

Sorry I missed your post GB. Yes, we used it and it is as good as I had hoped. Easy to use, easy to pay (Paypal) although you can't store your paypal name/password which is a little bit of a pain. We sent ours 2nd class and all were received and normally within 3 days. On returning home we saw a few we had sent and they are really excellent. People seemed to love getting them and those who didn't understand how it was done put it down to "you know Keith and his computers"!!! One lady told Steph that the picture "really looked like you"!!!

In summary, it's fab - not only the novelty of sending a postcard with you & co on it, but the speed of delivery (and from some countries the fact it arrives at all) - the price (cheaper than postcard + stamp in some countries), not having to find those, and then a postbox - ultimately we sent way more postcards than we usually do, and that sums it up really!
