Sending A Photo To An Alltel Number Question

I read all over the place that you can send a picture to Alltel customers by using the [email protected]
I click the Email icon while browsing the pic on my phone, add the alltel info in the "To:" field and try to send it but all they get is <<photo.jpg>> and whatever message I type with the photo attachment.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

These email workarounds are less convenient, less elegant than MMS.
True unless you look back at history to realize MMS is a workaround to email actually. They put cameras on phones. Then realized we can let people send them. Oh, but our phones are not very powerful, the OS on them is a pain to use, so lets make a thing called MMS so we can charge them to send pictures or other files. Then lets let each phone maker use their own formats for stuff like animations or video our sounds. Then lets let them send to each other, but wait, there is no standard, so not all MMS messages can go to all phones..oh well, lets keep going and let the popular ones win out. Pictures was easy, but still older phones or cheap phones or even just carriers have restrictions at each level. Video was sort of fun if all your friends had Razrs, but when I have a Panasonic they cannot get my videos. Oh whats this burried deep in my Razr, POP settings. I can setup POP mail, great....oh man that took forever to setup with Tap typing and getting all the settings right on that tiny screen with a terrible menu system. But great it works. I can even have it check every 15 mins....oh whats this, it can download images from email too, great. Why didn't we all use this. Oh, I don't spend that much for data since I only send pictures now and then. Oh well.
In comes the iPhone. Unlimited data. I can check email all day long since I already paid for it. I can setup an email account very easy and not just POP accounts. Oh and email is email, it is a standard. Oh and if for some reason somebody sends me something I cannot see (too big or wrong type), I can still get it on my computer, great. Why oh why was I paying per MMS message. Oh yeah, because they made it so they can charge you for it and it never was 100% since it depended on carrier, and phone type and there capabilities each.

  • Two questions 1. how can I send multiple photos to the same number 2. how do I assign a silent ringtone to a number?

    I want to send three photos to the same phone number. How can I do this without sending three seperate texts? Also how do I assign a silent ringtone to a number to block that number?

    you should be able to copy/paste more than one photo into an imessage by holding down on the entry field. When it comes to MMS, the number of pictures you can send is dictated by your carrier
    You could try using this service to create a special ringtone that has no actual sound content

    Just make the section of the song that you convert a silent part of a song (like the very beginning or end)

  • How can I get a verification number for Elements 11 to send a photo?

    I'm trying to set up the Adobe email so I can send a photo from Elements 11. I have entered my email address, click on "resend E-mail" but do not get a "sender verification" number in my regular email. What am I doing wrong? I know my email is entered correctly, because I have received a "reset password" email from Adobe Help.

    How about searching for an email from [email protected] in your mailbox + spam folder ?
    Thanks

  • Question about sending a photo

    When trying to send a photo directly from ilibrary, the email server didn't recognize username/password combo. I only use gmail which popped up in my from box.

    iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Accounts. Delete and recreate your email account.
    And what happened when you deleted and recreated the account?
    My personal preferences is to just set Apple mail as the e-mail client in the iPhoto preferences and use it instead of iPhoto

  • AiO remote can't send multiple photos to camera roll

    After scanning 25 photos using AiO remote I want to send them to camera roll, but have to send each photo one at a time?
    I can press edit which allows me to select all, but this does nothing, except DELETE? Also can't email multiples or send them to Dropbox in multiples, is that weird or what?
    Any know how to contact HP about this? It does need fixing.
    This question was solved.

    @StanTheManII 
    Thank you for your feedback regarding the AiO app. I will be sure to direct this to the AiO app team.
    In answer to your questions....
    The app is working as designed. There is no current option to allow to multiple seletions to be copied to the gallery. The current design is to be done one at a time.
    When emailing an attachment, you need to:
         1. make sure that your email is set up
         2. tap the share button while viewing the image, document or saved file
         3. tap email, compe and send the meail message
    This allows for only the one image, document or file to be attached to the email. Again, the app is working as designed.
    Again, I will direct your feedback regarding the additional features to the AiO app. Thank you for taking the time to post.

    Kolyei, sorry for the late reply.
    Have your brother create a contact in his phone for himself. Inside his own contact, have him add his phone number and his iCloud address.
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive Have your brother select both his phone number and email addresses where he would like to receive iMessages.

  • Error Message while sending a photo message

    While trying to send a photo message the following failed error message occurs   1xDNS not responding.   Phone being used is a Casio GzOne

    Hey,
    No, this account is hardly 2 months old and 1802 is the total number of emails. There are other machines configured with different IDs and they seem to work fine. Some are configured with POP and some with IMAP. The machine which has the problem is the only
    one with Outlook 2011 and is a Mac. So yes, I think it concerns only Outlook 2011. I currently have IMAP setup on this device, would switching to POP solve the issue? I do not mind switching to POP as I do not need all that IMAP offers me, POP fits my use
    case just fine.
    Your thoughts?
    Thank you.

  • When I send a photo to someone by bluetooth it says "not supported content"

    i just got this BB curve 8520 today and I tried to send a photo to a friend via bluetooth, but they couldn't open it. Instead, it said "not supported content". I can send stuff to my friend from my old Nokia phone. Any idea what's wrong?

    There is another setting for "Start Conversation from", that needs to be set to phone number.

  • I can't send a photo by text - New user, Blackberry Torch 9800

    I recently started using the Blackberry Torch 9800 and I'm still getting the hang of things.
    This means I'm at the stage where i'm still accidentally muting myself while i leave a phone message or putting people on hold with my ear.  If anyone has a master solution for this, that's welcomed, but it's not my main question.
    I want to know how to send a photo by text.  I've tried, and it comes up with an x next to it, as it hasn't sent.
    i looked around the internet and found the suggestion that I resize my images using some app.  The app they suggested doesn't exist anymore so I downloaded "Fast Photo Editor Free" and resized my image.  It still didn't send.  I made it smaller than you'd ever want an image to be, and it still wouldn't send.
    To be clear, I can put the photo in the text, but once I push send, the text shows up with a red x next to it.
    I'm not really sure what to do. 

    Hello irishduck
    Welcome to the Community
    You may try contacting you Carrier as there might be settings that they can do on their end to let you send the MMS. You may also wanna check these pages to help you familiarize with your phone.

  • Sending a photo as an attachment not in the message itself

    Hi All,
    Been searching for a solution on this but I really couldn't find one.
    How can we send a photo by email as an attachment and not embedded in the message itself?
    Thank you in advance.

    To follow up on this question, is there any way to receive *.tiff or *.jpg on an iPhone/iOS device in general as an attachment rather than imbedded in the email, and "open with" some other application, or save to an application store, like GoodReader does with say, *.pdf's?

  • Cant send my photos by email from computor.

    when I want to send my photos silverlight says it has a problem & shuts down/stops transmission. Either this is changed or firefox goes!!!

    There are a couple options you could try under these articles
    [[using the silverlight plugin with firefox]]
    [[plugin crash reports]]

  • Send camera photo(graph)s to other iOSers without an account?

    Hello.
    Is it possible to do send camera photo(graph)s to other iOSers without an account with far away iOSers? I don't mean nearby option that I saw in iOS v8.1.3 on both iPhone 6 Plus/+ and iPad Air. Or does it require an account (e-mail, Flickr, etc.)?
    Yes, this is newbie iOS question and I assume it can't be done, but double checking with you guys. Thank you in advance.

    Well there are two ways to get at that:
    One is once you are done taking a picture or video there is a box with an arrow going up icon - tapping on that will give the option to send by iMessage, email etc
    Two - when one is in iMessage - there is a camera icon that can either choose from an existing image or invoke the camera for a new one
    (That is what I was doing earlier - when I sent the brief video from CA to NY)
    I will have to retry. I didn't see an iMessage option, but then I had cellular data connection disabled and wifi enabled. Sending videos? Yikes, how big is the file size for that?

  • Why do I get error 150:30 when I try and send a photo to Elements 8?

    Why do I  get error 150:30 when I try and send a photo to Elements 8 from a PC with windows8?

    My wife had this problem for the past few days for a specific phone number. These instructions fixed it -- without having to restore from backup or contact the carrier.
    http://www.timothydeblock.com/blog/2014/5/12/fix-message-sent-using-invalid-numb er-of-digits-msg-2114
    Open Contacts -> select the contact -> select edit -> scroll all the way to the bottom and delete contact (delete multiple entries of the same phone number, my wife had five).
    Open the Messages app -> select Edit -> select the red circle and then select delete. Do this for both the person and the messages you received.
    Open the Settings app -> scroll down and select Messages -> turn off messages, by selecting the switch, and any other options turned on.
    Turn off your phone and then turn it back on.
    Go straight to messages and compose a new message and put in the phone number of the person you're trying to text. Send and that person should receive the text message. Add the person to your contacts and go back into message settings to turn on any other options you want on that you turned off.
