You asked the same question within 20 minutes of the first? Had you tried Googling it? Try it sometime. It works wonders.

I googled: email picture to metro pcs

and the first link provided: 10digitphonenumber@metropcs.sms.us

Along with this and many more from this link: http://www.notepage.net/smtp.htm

I saw above that some of you may be having issues when e-mailing pics to T-mobile and I have researched this and was explained that the way to e-mail T-mobile customers is 111111111@tmomail.com when e-mailing pictures to T-mobile customers and not 1234567890@tmomail.net so you may want to try this out because it worked for me everytime. They blocked out the Sprint TV also but the old Sprint TV hack is working on the Mogul again also so I think it is due to the new patch might be adding a pic mail option to it is what I have heard when talking to IT from sprint so we will have to see that would be nice to have REV A and Sprint TV, Pic Mail and GPS like they are saying. It would be nice if they added the Threaded Text to the package also lol. Hope this helps above and I dont recommend to delete the thread for Pic mail cause it is more than likely a temp stop while updating the network but I will continue to look for a fix also.

Does anyone else have issues sending to verizon customers? I've tried (phone#)@vzwpix.com and I always get a 'Delivery Status Notification (Failure)' bounced back to my email address. I've tried gmail, yahoo, hotmail...all with no luck. It says there is banned text in the header, even if I don't include any text in the message...

Thanks in advance for the help!

I think it will be alot easier for you to email the picture to yourself xxx-xxx-xxxx@pm.sprint.com, and once you recieve it open it up and just forward it. if you do it this way all you do is enter the recipeints phone number.

This works really well. I set up a contact called "PicMail" that's nothing more than my10digits@pm.sprint.com . Then I email a photo from an old aol address to this contact. It arrives as a clickable link in a text message (that is, like a standard Picture Mail on Sprint phones). When I click it, there's a link to "Forward" it. I click that, and then I type in the recipient's phone number (you don't need to know what service they're on). The photo arrives on a Verizon phone EXACTLY like a standard picture mail, and it says correctly that it's from me so they can reply by text message.

Yes, I've had exactly the same problem. I think this is a spam-blocking feature which renders this whole 'PictureMail as email' system effectively useless. So I recommend emailing your photos to your sprint number and then forwarding them from the web site where you view the photos. This does work with Verizon recipients. The only real downside is that you have to type in the recipient's full phone number, but you don't need to know their service provider.

Incidentally, I've noticed that many people feel like this is "Sprint being Sprint" and that they're crazy for disabling such a simple feature. But there must be something more going on. It's not widely known that the iPhone has EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE. There's no standard PictureMail sending feature on the iPhone. So I suspect that there's a good business reason why these companies are trying to wean their customers off the PictureMail habit. There's a big difference in the way this has been received by the iPhone community. If you visit their forums, you'll see comments like "oh that's ok!! The iPhone does email great!! So you just email your pictures to 10digit-blah-blah-blah and there's no problem!! So the iPhone is still perfect!!" As many of us have discovered, emailing to those addresses is NOT a satisfactory solution. Luckily, the forwarding method works, though I wouldn't be surprised if that gets blocked at some point, too.
