How to Send Picture Mail via SMS / MMS on the iPhone
Reading time: 2 – 3 minutes
If you have an iPhone but have trouble figuring out how to send people text messages with pictures, or MMS messages, here’s a fix.
Go to the camera app and view the picture you want to send, click the send button and email it to one of the special email addresses below, based on their phone number and carrier. These are the SMS gateways from the carriers so the picture will be converted into a picture mail message and you’ll make somebody’s day (-;
| Carrier | Email to SMS gateway |
|---|---|
| Alltel | full_phone_number@message.alltel.com |
| AT&T (Cingular) | full_phone_number@txt.att.net |
| Boost Mobile | full_phone_number@myboostmobile.com |
| Einstein PCS | full_phone_number@einsteinmms.com |
| Sprint | full_phone_number@messaging.sprintpcs.com |
| T-Mobile | full_phone_number@tmomail.net |
| US Cellular | full_phone_number@mms.uscc.net |
| Verizon Wireless | full_phone_number@vzwpix.com (@vztext is another, but it strips out pictures) |
| Virgin Mobile | full_phone_number@vmobl.com |
I hope this helps you.
Sweet! I am totally going to start emailing pictures of myself to randoms.

That’s the spirit Rishi! And you know, if anybody gets a well thought out message (and photo!) from you, it will make their day. They might even send you money for that.
