Can I send picture messages to other cell phones from Iphone

you send pictures to their email but you cannot send pictures from phone to phone...

I read somewhere else on this forum that you can send pictures that will show on another person's phone (not just a text email message).

For AT&T you send it to -> phone number (including area code)@mms.att.net

There is a link to a website that shows all of the other carriers addresses for multimedia messages if you search the forum.

If you know what Cell Phone company your friend is using you can email a picture to them via Mail on the phone and it will be sent to them as a MMS. I do this all the time and my friends all get the image as a MMS on their phones.

The only cravat is you have to know what company they use so you can format the email address (it is usually cellphonenumber@mms.att.net or something similar, where the URL changes to the phone companies specific MMS routing - you can find them all online.)

but it still gets sent to an account that you then have to access,,,,unlike my other phone where i send a picture..straight to their phone..... almost like a text message....if there is a way to do this on the iphone....i certainly havent figured it out....**doesnt mean its not possible* the only way i have figured out how to send pics is to enter an email address... not a phone number.............

Just use their phone number where the xxxxxxxxxx's are...

Thanks jeff SD - that's great info that looks like it took a bit of research to get.

Thanks a lot for posting this info Jeff SD!

ill have to give this a try... altough ive tried other methods that just bounced the pics back to my email......

by sending this way does the pic go right to their phone as if they are just recieving a text message..or does it go to their phone...camera and picture account???

It doesn't get sent to an account that the receiver has to access -- it goes straight to their phone. That's because the email address you sent it to IS their phone. They'll receive just as if it were an MMS, indeed, it becomes an MMS when handled by the carrier (e.g., mms.att.net). If they reply it will come to the email account you sent it from.

For those people that I want to send pics, I just make another entry in my contact for their MMS address. For example, if my daughter's number is 1234567899, I added an email address which is 1234567899@mms.att.net. Now when I want to send a pic to her phone, I just email it to that address. She gets it as an MMS, and when she replies it comes to my email address which I pick up on my iphone.

Nope, at least not yet, iPhone does not support MMS. Hopefully in this next download upgrade expected somethime later this week it will be included. For now all you can do is send it to someone's emails or phone email address such as #@txt.att.net(or something similar). Prob. is that every carrier will be diff so you will need to know the carries of each of your contacts...pain in the butt. Just hope the next firmware download will include mms. I DO miss being able to send pics directly to other phone...a VERY basic feature even in the cheapest phones now a days.

so ive tried to replicate this process... but im not sure how you're doing it because it aint working for me..!!!!!!!! when i clicked to send pic my choices are

use as wallpaper
email photo
assign to contact
send to web gallery

i tried the email photo to my other cell phone which happens to be a sprint... and using your addresses.... nothin...... ????????????

nope... i just got "photo delivery failed."" you must have either a magic phone or the magic touch... because this doesnt work on my iphone!!!!!!
