How to Upload Mobile Phone Pictures to the Internet

One common feature of mobile, or cell, phones is a camera. It gives cell phone users a convenient way to snap pictures of friends and family. Yet it can be frustrating to find that your pictures are forever locked onto your cell phone or that you have run out of space on your phone and need to delete some pictures. Instead, you can upload your pictures to the Internet and share them with the world.

Instructions

1. Go to the picture you want to upload to the Internet.

2. Select the feature that states "Send picture as MMS" or something similar. Each phone has slightly different phrasing, but you should be able to send the picture via multimedia messaging. This will open up a new message that shows the picture.

3. Type the email address to which you want to send the picture in the "To" box. Many online social networking sites have an email address to which you can send your pictures, or you can send them to your personal email address or that of a friend or family member.

4. Press the "Send" button. Give the cell phone a few minutes to send the message. If it does not go through, try again.

Tips & Warnings

• Some cell phones have applications that will allow you to upload pictures directly if you prefer, but this isn't widely available yet.

• If you are having trouble sending multimedia messages, some phones allow you to send pictures as an email. You will be charged for data usage, but the process works the same way.

• Multimedia messages are treated the same way as text messages by carriers. You may be charged text message fees by your carrier.
