Re: [Cingular] Useless Pictures This is how ALL carriers are, as of right now MMS isn't able to cross carriers. My friends with spring couldn't send me a picture and I couldn't send them one. I am sure at some point GSM providers will be able to send to each other, and CDMA should be able to each other also.

| T-Mobile allows you to e-mail the pictures. Since all cell phones have an e-mail address, you can just do it that way. It works perfectly across carriers, as long as the receiving phone is also MMS capable. |

I have no problems on T-Mobile e-mailing pictures to people's e-mail addresses that are not phones. |

Interesting, thanks for the clarification. I was only thinking of sending a direct mms not an email.

Just note that with MMS you'll be restricted to sending only to your friends on the same carrier. With T-Mobile, AT&T, and I think SprintPCS, you can also email your pics to anyone with an email address, including phones on other carriers. Can't do that with Cingular. |

Westerville, OH | Correct, I know how the services work, when I posted my original reply I was thinking you wanted to send via MMS, not email with an attachment. Although I did email a picture from T-Mobile to my buddy at Sprint and he couldn't get the image, while I could off my own address, I haven't tried with AT&T as their data plans are awful.

I have sprint, and I can email the pics anywhere I want. I can also upload them to a picture vault, and then send the pics to anyone from there as well.
I haven't tried the MMS/SMS option of sending the pics yet, though, because no one else we know has web access enabled on their phones.

Excuuuuuuse me Smee!
Verizon picture phones can send camera phone pics to any email address. I tried this in the store, with the VX6000. It works fine. |
