camera phones - sending pix to others

On our Nextel i560 camera phones,
I can take a pix, and send it to an email address.
I have not tried sending to another phone, just email...

In talking to a Virgin Mobile rep,
they seemed to indicate that those users
can only send "in network"
or to a photo album, and then email from there.

Was wondering what capabilities exist
on other systems for handling photos ?

Photos can be sent by MMS (Multimedia Messaging) to a different network if and
only if there is an MMS gateway between the networks.

From my Sprint PCS picture phone, I have sent pictures to other Sprint
PCS picture phones, to a Verizon picture phone, a Cingular picture
phone, and to regular email addresses. My $15 monthly fee (actually
$15+5+5+5=$30 for all 4 phones on my plan) allows unlimited Picture Mail.

All pictures sent to others or just 'uploaded' from the phone over the
air also wind up on the pictures.sprintpcs.com website, from which I can
group them into albums, email them to others, enhance them, print them,
or download them to my PC. It's a pretty good system.

One thing that's not built-in is the ability to download the pictures
over a wire from the Sprint PCS phone to a PC. It requires third-party
software and a cable, and some phone models can't do it at all.

that $15+$5...must be over and beyond your Sprint basic rate plan costs -

Yes, it's the cost of the PCS Vision Picture Pack, which is an add-on to
my Fair & Flexible America for Families plan.

first off, the i560 is not a camera phone did you mean the i860? you can always send your pictures to an email address from your nextel camera phone. quite often you can send you pictures to other camera phones on different services if you send it as an email, ie xxxxxxxxxx@messaging.nextel.com for instance. all cell carriers have email addresses linked to the phone number and most often you can send it to another phone that way.

I have the i860 and I could not send messages and/or pictures to
e-mail addresses. I could send them from the phone to my Yahoo
account and forward them from there and to one ISP. Nextel says
they have an "issue" with MMS.

Looking at the headers from the returned mail I saw where
SpamAssasin blocks any messages where the From address begins with
a number. I discussed this with my ISP and they worked it out and
now I can send MMS from the phone to my PC and others with Prolog.
The received messages have a SPAM tag in the From address but they
go through ok. I can send to some ISP's that either don't use
SpamAssasin or don't have it set so tight.

I told Nextel about this and perhaps it will be worked out. They
informed me the From address can't be changed from the cell phone
number. Maybe a download could do it.

Also keep in mind the receiving phone must be capable of receiving mms
check phonescoop.com and see if it is. An i530 is not!!
