Answering my own message here I think.  I believe that a combination
of a text message and then GPRS surfing to it will always be cheaper
as the images are only 12K in size and even on Vodafones max GPRS
tariff of 0.75p per KB that's only about 10p to get the picture.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Probably is if you get two callers in a row you might miss a picture,
so it may require something a bit more active like a list of links to
recent images.
