Sending pictures via email is a convenient and fun way to share family photos or shots of a night out on the town with cell phone users. MMS messages are multimedia messages sent to cell phones like text messages. These usually originate from other phones, but it is possible to share them from your home computer, either through email or a picture messaging relay service.
If you know the email carrier of the person you are trying to text, you can email the picture directly to their cell phone, like sending a text message. Open your email program. In the address box, type the person's phone number, followed by her carrier's email gateway address. Email gateway addresses can be found in the resources section of this article. (Example: 12345678901@tmobile.com)
Prepare your picture to be sent. Extremely large image files will not send. Extremely small files are too difficult to see. A good size to shoot for is an image with a width in the 500 to 600 pixels range. Resize your picture as necessary.
Next, attach the picture and send, as if you were sending a regular email. If you have typed everything correctly, the picture will be delivered via MMS messaging to the cell phone number you specified. Also note that your friend will likely be charged a fee for receiving this message, based on her plan.
If you do not know the carrier of your email message recipient, you can use a website like pixdrop.com or texthq.com to send your message over the web. These sites offer a simple web browser upload form and a box to input the recipient's phone number. See the resources section for some sites that allow you to send pictures to a cell phone.
