Did you know that you can send photos from your cell phone directly to your Facebook Profile page? It's easy to do and it's a great way to share what you're doing and seeing with your friends, family or customers! Sharing photos is a fun part of online social networking, so Here is How to Upload Photos To Facebook From Your Cell Phone!

Things You'll Need

• Cell Phone
• Facebook Account

Instructions

1. 

   First, you need to make sure that your cell phone number is registered with Facebook. If you know it already is, you can skip to Step 6. If you aren't sure it's registered, then log into your Facebook account. Go to the top of the page and click on "Settings". This will take you to the "My Account" page.

2. Click on the tab that says "Mobile". On the Mobile page, click on the link that says "Register For Facebook Mobile Texts".

3. 

   This will open up a box labeled Step 1, which prompts you to choose your Country and Mobile Service Provider from two drop-down boxes. Make your selections and click on "Next".

4. 

   The next box, Step 2, tells you to do the following: "Using your mobile phone, send a text message containing only the letter "f" (without quotes) to 32665 (FBOOK)". Send the text message as instructed and then click on "Next" to go to Step 3.

5. 

   A few seconds after you send your text to Facebook, you will receive a text back from Facebook that contains your alphanumeric mobile activation code. Go back to your Facebook page, enter the code in the box provided, and click on "Confirm".

   This will take you to the Confirmation page showing that the Facebook Mobile Application has been added to your profile. Your cell phone is now setup to send photos to your Facebook Profile page.

6. Now that your mobile account is setup, you are actually ready to upload a photo! Take a picture with your cell phone and send it as a picture message to this address: [e-mail].

   If you want to add a caption to your picture, just include it in the subject line of your message!

7. Very shortly, the picture you uploaded will appear on your Facebook page! It will be positioned at the top of your message column with any caption you wrote below it. Any pictures you upload will also be saved in your Profile under Photos for you and others to view later on.

8. 

   The photo of the community swimming pool included here took just 33 seconds to appear at the top of the Facebook page! Your upload times can vary, but it normally doesn't take very long for your pictures to get posted to your page.

Tips & Warnings

• Save the [e-mail] upload address to your phone under an easy to remember contact name such as "Facebook Pix", and you will have it readily available whenever you want to put a new photo on your profile.
