Text/SMS/Photos via email to a phone, Part Deux
So my great 'discovery' is old news... (hey, what a surprise!!! *Mike punches himself in the face*)
You can send text or photo messages to people's phones via email for just about any carrier. Thanks to posters "x999x" and "gentlegiantcraig" at everythingiphone:
If I wanted to send a photo/text to 561-456-1230
(replace the 10 digit number with the cell phone you're sending the photo to:
Cingular/AT&T : 5614561230@mms.att.net
For Verizon : 5614561230@vzwpix.com
For Sprint/Nextel : 5614561230@messaging.sprintpcs.com
For T-mobile: 5614561230@tmomail.net
For Virgin: 5614561230@vmobl.net
For Boost Mobile: 5614561230@myboostmobile.com
For Alltel: 5614561230@message.alltel.com
For Amp'd Mobile: 5614561230@vzwpix.com
This is quite handy since:
(a) the iPhone can't presently send photos as MMS messages, only emails
(b) it doesn't go against your SMS messages count -- it (obviously) uses your unlimited data access

The verison wireless sms doesn't work nor does the amp'd
did not work for me as well. They need to fix this on the next update. Love apple, but they need not be so lazy.
Yeah great, thanks for the numbers, but how on earth is everyone supposed to know who all their colleagues/friends' wireless carriers are? Ridiculous!
wow, this totally works, and its not hard to just ask what people's carriers are. sweet - i can even send photos to people who dont normally get photos because they have a blackberry without data/internet options. NICE!
I've got this to work for texting but how do you send a photo? My first try said the message was too big. Do you send as attachment? Or some other way?
Which carrier are you sending from/to? Some carriers have a max size even for MMS messages -- usually around 512KB-768KB.
Does anyone know hwere I could get a similar list for Canadian carriers, such as Telus, Rogers, Bell, etc?
And Australian carriers too, telstra, optus, vodafone
whats the number for us cellular
