Using your email to send pics (Picture Mail)

[dmaldo]

In case any of you don't know already these instructions should help to anyone who needs to send pictures to other carriers as well. Yes, it's sort of a pain, but it works for now.

Step 1. Set up an email address, for outgoing mail put smtp.sprint.com and check the require authentication box. set it for 15 minutes or to your liking.

Step 2. Find out the carriers from your contacts. (sprint, verizon, t-mobile, etc...)

The hard way Ive been able to figure out only 4 of the major carriers email format, which in miami there is only 5 ... here they go..

Sprint:
10digitphone#@pm.sprint.com

Verizon:
10digitphone#@vzwpix.com

Cingular:
10digitphone#@mms.mycingular.com

T-Mobile:
10digitphone#@tmomail.net

Alltel:
10digitphone#@message.alltel.com

Step 3. compose a new email, send it to your contact which has the following format and when is sent, it will either be sent in 15 minutes or press right soft key, send/receive to send it right away... the user will receive it the same way they always have...
