How to Load a Phone Photo to Facebook
Smartphone-users can upload photos direct to Facebook with the photo upload tool in the Facebook Mobile application, but this service isn't available on standard cellphones. If you've taken photos on your cellphone's integrated digital camera and stored them on the device, you can share them with friends by uploading them to Facebook. To upload a phone photo to Facebook, you'll need to register for a personal Facebook upload email address and send the photo to Facebook as an email attachment.
