Send Picture Mail To A Sprint Carrier

Picture Mail is easy to send from a cell phone.


Sprint Picture Mail is a service offered for Sprint customers to send and receive pictures from a cell phone. Yet, it's more than just a way to share photos from a cell phone camera. It also gives users a format to store, edit and share photos online.


A cell phone user with Sprint Picture Mail views pictures on her photo-compatible cell phone, or online through her Sprint account. From the online view, she can edit and save photos on the website, or download them to a PC. From either, she can share these pictures on Facebook and other sites, or email them to friends.


Picture Mail is easy to send. It takes merely a moment to follow the simple menu commands.


Instructions


1. Navigate to the "Pictures" menu on your camera-capable cell phone. There, you will find various options to choose from. "My Pictures" gives options for pictures that are stored on the device. If you are also sending from a Picture Mail account, there will be an additional "Online Albums" option to choose from.


Find the picture that you wish to send, and then select it by pressing the "Menu/OK" button. This places a check mark in the small white box that appears inside the picture.


2. Press the button with a cell-phone graphic located directly beneath the word "Send" on the bottom left-hand corner of the screen. This will bring up another menu with a number of choices. To send a Picture Mail to someone with a Sprint carrier, select the choice called "Recipients." Do this using the "Menu/OK" button.








3. Choose how you wish to address your photo. This is done by pressing the up and down buttons on the phone, then pressing "Menu/OK" when the appropriate choice is highlighted.


When the person you are sending your picture to is in your cell phone contacts, choose the "Contacts" option, select the phone book entry, and then select "Done" by pressing the button located directly under the word.


If the recipient is not in your contacts, then you will need either her cell phone number or her alias Picture Mail e-mail address at this point. On a regular Sprint line, the Picture Mail e-mail address can be the recipient's phone number followed by @pm.sprint.com. To avoid spam, an alias replaces the phone number with whatever alias the account owner chooses. Although either one can be entered into the "email" field on this screen, you will need to know which the recipient uses, in order to be certain that it is received. Enter your choice.








4. Select "Next" from the bottom of the screen. This brings up a preview screen. Enter the subject of the e-mail here, using the same method as text messaging, and add a short text or audio message if you like.


5. Select "Send" and watch the progress bar move to 100% to ensure success.
