Guest guest Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 , I can tell you how mine works. If you still can't figure it out, is there an office for your cell company nearby? The folks there should show you. That's how I learned; I had to go in twice, because I forgot after the first demo! What kind of phone do you have, and what company do you use? Maybe someone else on the list can give you simpler instructions than mine. Anyway, you need to have Internet access on your phone, unless you have some kind of cable that connects the phone to the computer, but I don't know anyone that has that. Also, sending photos, just like text messaging, generates a charge. I think most phone plans include a certain number of text messages & multimedia messages (sending photos or sound), but you might want to check before you go wild. On my phone, I can send 3-4 photos on one MMS (multimedia messge); I also send them to anyone else that would be interested. That way it's just one MMS. Okay, here is how I do it (I'm on ATT, used to be Cingular): I find the photo, click Options, then Send Via, which brings up two options: MMS or Bluetooth. I don't have Bluetooth, so I choose MMS. Then I get a screen with Subject at the top; sometimes I put something in, or not. Below that is the picture; click on that, then on Send. That brings up the Recipients; you can send to another person's cell phone or email. I added the email addresses I send photos to into my address book, so that I don't have to type them in each time. On my phone, I then click Options, Address Book, find the first address or cell phone & add it, then arrow down to the second space, go to Options, Address Book, etc., until I've added everyone, including, of course, myself. Then I click Options & Send. A message will come up saying that a MMS message is being sent; a second message will say that it was sent. Occasionally, I don't have enough memory to send it, and I have to go to My Messages & clean out my Sent Box & In Box. If you are sending more than one photo, it can be tricky. My current phone is different from my old one. With this one, after I choose the first photo, then I go to Options, but instead of Send, I click on Add Page, which puts me back to the screen with the Subject on top. I arrow down one space to Graphics, click & get Add Graphics. Click that, then choose Photos & I'm back into my photo album, choose one & click Add, then repeat the process until I'm ready to send. If I've got too many photos, it won't send, but I can save them to Drafts in My Messages, then go in there & remove one of the pics, send again. It sounds really complicated, and it is, but once you've done it a few times, it's easy. Your phone & system might be easier than mine. Heck, mine might have an easier way, but this is what I've learned and I AM an old dog! I had to actually go through all the steps as I typed them here. If you do go to a cell phone office, or get them on the phone, write down all the steps, even if it seems simple. Otherwise, you might be like me, back in there the next week, hoping you get a different person helping you! Good luck, !
