I'm trying to figure out how to send a picture that I took on my iPhone to my friend's cell phone. Any one know how? Also, how do I add more than one picture to an e-mail?

iPhone DOES NOT have MMS support, must use email
this is a well-known problem

Teleflip might work... via their flipOut service. However, I'm not sure how they handle MMS. On the text front, it'll handles the details for you... for all carriers. All you have to do is send an e-mail to: yourfriendsnumber@Teleflip.com, and they'll handle the rest. Any replies will land in your e-mail box. They claim to bring RIM type services to any phone.... for free.

Or you can use e-mail (some of these might be outdated):
Alltel
[10-digit phone number]@message.alltel.com
Example: 2125551212@message.alltel.com

at&t
[10-digit phone number]@8312511234@att.mobile.net
Example: 8312511234@att.mobile.net

Boost Mobile
[10-digit phone number]@myboostmobile.com
Example: 2125551212@myboostmobile.com

Cingular
[10-digit phone number]@mobile.mycingular.com OR
[10-digit number]@cingularme.com
Example: 4152221212@cingularme.com

Nextel (now part of Sprint Nextel)
[10-digit telephone number]@messaging.nextel.com
Example: 7035551234@messaging.nextel.com

Sprint PCS (now Sprint Nextel)
[10-digit phone number]@messaging.sprintpcs.com
Example: 2125551234@messaging.sprintpcs.com

T-Mobile
[10-digit phone number]@tmomail.net
Example: 4251234567@tmomail.net

Verizon
[10-digit phone number]@vtext.com
Example: 5552223333@vtext.com

Virgin Mobile USA
[10-digit phone number]@vmobl.com
Example: 5551234567@vmobl.com

Your millage may vary... and some of the carriers do funny things when you go back and forth. For example, whenever a friend at TMO sends a MMS to my at&t line, I have to log-in into an at&t site and type in a random user name and password to gain access to the content. I'm not sure why... I haven't cared enough to go on the hunt.

You could also upload directly to Flickr (via email or one of the 3rd party applications) or other such sites... but then your friend would have to have a way to get there.

Good news is that e-mail is free for you... no need to pay outrageous messaging fees.

As for sending more than 1 picture per e-mail... that's not possible through the standard interface.

Hmm..that's too bad I can't send multimedia messages to my friend's phones. After all, I have unlimited texting.

I don't know if I'd call it a well-known problem, per se... at least for the average customer. Email is more of the 'standard'... in my book. And it is free.

I do understand the frustration, though.

I don't know... I just exported all of my contacts, added the e-mail address portion, and then imported them again. TMO is very good at handling the conversion... and presenting their users with a MMS. It was a pain to set-up at first, but now I like it better... partly because I end up with a copy that is available in my iPhone GMail account.
