8310 with no microSD and ATT

So, new here and not sure where to post this.

I've just gotten a hand-me-down BB from my sister(She got a fancy new iPhone,) and I have a few questions.

First, I have a Mac computer and tried to transfer pictures using bluetooth and USB but I don't have a SD card and bluetooth won't transfer pictures (No necessary services?)

So that brings me to here,
I do not have a data plan, I have an unlimited texting plan (MMS,SMS) and I was wondering if I sent myself a picture message from my email and it received as a text would it use data?

thanks.

MMS uses data.

AT&T requires data plans for all smartphones added since September 2009. They do IMEI sweeps and will add the more expensive data plan for any smartphone once they detect it. It is part of their terms of service. The only way to avoid the data plan is by not using a smartphone.

From their site: "An eligible tiered pricing data plan is required for certain Devices, including iPhones and other designated Smartphones. Eligible voice and tiered pricing data plans cover voice and data usage in the U.S. and do not cover International voice and data usage and charges. If it is determined that you are using a voice-capable Device without a voice plan, or that you are using an iPhone or designated Smartphone without an eligible voice and tiered data plan, AT&T reserves the right to switch you to the required plan or plans and bill you the appropriate monthly fees. In the case of the tiered data plan, you will be placed on the data plan which provides you with the greatest monthly data usage allowance. If you determine that you do not require that much data usage in a month, you may request a lower data tier at a lower monthly recurring fee."
