Tips & Warnings
If unwilling to sign up for a data plan, you can still email pictures from your phone. The cellular provider uses your phone number as a part of the email address and routes it through its server. If you have not signed up for the service, you might receive an additional charge on your next monthly bill.
Although flat or all-inclusive rates for data plans are available, many plans have limitations on the amount of data you can send or receive. In some restricted plans, the cellular providers bill you based on your usage per kilobyte of data. Due to the big file size of pictures, they represent a lot of data usage and may result in exhausting the monthly quota. If you have limited data access, take pictures at a lower resolution to limit the size of the pictures you plan on emailing.
