How to Send a Picture in a Text Message with your iPhone

I just sent a picture embedded in a text message with my iPhone to my son's phone! here's how I did it.

Ever wanted to send a cool picture you’ve snapped with your iPhone as a text message? Well, too bad, MMS is currently not supported with the iPhone.

Hold on though–there is a workaround. It involves emailing the picture with your iPhone to your target’s phone number. Here’s how.

Believe it or not, every cell phone number has an email address. To get that address, check the list of email addresses below for various wireless companies. Or, have a friend send you an MMS to your email address. Access the email message on your iPhone and check out the “From:” field. That is your friend’s cell phone’s email address. Emailing a picture to that address will show up as an MMS on their phone. You can add that address to your contacts. Voila, you can now send MMS messages, AND IMBED A PICTURE IN YOUR TEXT MESSAGE to your friend’s phone.

1. Take the picture with your iPhone
2. Go to your photo's app on your iphone

3. Select your photo

4. "Email Photo"

5. Email to the phone#+the webaddress below for mms text messaging.

Just make sure your friend’s phone can receive MMS messages (ie, you can’t email the MMS to an iPhone).

I have had a mix of successes and failures using this method. Please ad your details to the comments below so we know which addresses work and don’t work.

These addresses are for US-based carriers. The Xs are the 10 digit phone number:

Alltel = xxxxxxxxxx@message.alltel.com
AT&T = xxxxxxxxxx@mms.att.net
Cingular (AT&T) = xxxxxxxxxx@mms.mycingular.com
Nextel = xxxxxxxxxx@messaging.nextel.com
Sprint = xxxxxxxxxx@messaging.sprintpcs.com or xxxxxxxxxx@pm.sprint.com
T-Mobile = xxxxxxxxxx@tmomail.net
US Cellular = xxxxxxxxxx@mms.uscc.net
Verizon Wireless = xxxxxxxxxx@vzwpix.com
Virgin Mobile = xxxxxxxxxx@vmobl.com

SUBJECT: Rottweiler and Chow Breeds Attack 12 Year Old Boy On Way Home

Rottweiler and Chow Breeds Attack 12 Year Old Boy On Way Home

Las Vegas, NV December 29, 2006

On the afternoon of Friday December 29, 2006 a pair of aggressive dogs attacked a 12 year old boy on his way home from his father’s office. Bryce Klabacka was riding his mother’s Christmas bicycle home from his father’s office at noon when two large dogs charged and attacked him, pulling him from his mother’s bicycle and inflicting multiple wounds on Bryce’s upper and lower body.
The dogs originated from the home of Chris Zampini at 6065 S. Lamb Blvd Las Vegas, NV 89120. Witnesses telephoned Bryce’s father, Matt Klabacka, about the attack whereas Matt and Bryce’s brother Randy immediately responded to the scene and found Bryce laying on the opposite side of the road from the Zampini property, with multiple attack wounds, please see attached pictures.

The witness had removed the attacking dogs to the Zampini property and the dogs charged Matt and Randy with malicious intent. Matt and Randy approached the home when the dogs charged them, Matt’s attempted to awaken the owners by kicking the door of the home went unanswered, it quickly became apparent that the home owners were unresponsive, and Bryce was taken directly to Foothill Pediatric clinic where he was treated and released with stitches.

Early that same morning the same pair of dogs attacked Dan LaPorte and his pet as they were completing their morning walk in the neighborhood, commonly referred to as “Little Mexico” a ranch estate neighborhood on the border of Las Vegas and Henderson.

Bryce was on his way home from his father’s office located about 1/4 mile from his house. It is not unusual for Bryce and his two brothers Randy(15) and Ty(7) to walk to and from their fathers office. The route takes them directly in front of the Zampini property where the dogs have lived for a number of years. According to neighbors the pair of dogs have roamed the neighborhood in the past unattended, actually being captured and returned to the Zampini property. “If this would have been Ty, my youngest son, then we would have a tragedy on our hands. This is not the first time the dog pair have roamed the neighborhood ‘terrorizing’ the children”, stated Matt. “When you see an 80-100lb rottweiler and a chow you get your kids inside. Just last summer the same dog pair entered the cul-de-sac and sent kids scurrying into their homes”. Matt Klabacka has experience with dogs and has previously owned dog grooming shops and dog training facilities and has a family dog, “Red”, a yellow Labrador retriever. Matt Klabacka is President of ATS-USA, LLC a heavy equipment training corporation with sites in Atlanta, Oklahoma City, and Las Vegas.

Mr. Klabacka states, “Every person is entitled to own a dog, and I encourage dog ownership; however, when a dog attacks and shows dangerous and aggressive behavior it should be treated as a threat to the community and managed accordingly. Just as criminal behavior is dealt with in humans, the same should be passed on to all animals; however, rehabilitation of a dog is a little far fetched. These dogs that have a “Single Attack” need to be placed in the hands of animal control. Mr. Klabacka is writing to legislators encouraging them to implement a ‘Single Attack’ rule to remove dangerous animals before subsequent potentially fatal attacks occur.
