Tips & Warnings
Photos are large graphic files, and extra data charges may apply for sending them from a non-Verizon phone to Verizon phones.
When using a computer, sending emails to phones is free already for the sender. It is the receiver who pays the data charges. Choose software with no sender charges attached.
