We were told by many Cingular sales people that you don't need to buy the
internet part of the cell phone package to send pictures from a picture
phone to a computer, that you could just attach them to a text message and
they would be treated like a text message. Yet, we are unable to get that
to work with the phone we have. Does anyone know if this is possible or do
you have to buy the internet package per month which lets you send a
megabyte worth of pictures for about 6 dollars a month. Thanks for any
help.

You must have WIX on your account, if not the 6.99/1MB you can get the
pay per use system if you don't planon sending alot of pictures, it goes
for 0.03/KB

I think that's his abbreviation for Wireless Internet Express. Kinda
catchy, huh?

Most of the phones have the ability to connect to the computer, via either
cable or IRDA. Some also have Bluetooth. You can upload pix to the computer
without the network even being involved. Read your manual...

I fully understand that and for that purpose I have a digital camera. Im
interested in taking pictures on my picture phone and sending them via email
to someone else other then me. I am happy to say that it is working now,
but with not much help from Cingular. I have no problem with the service
but the customer service is lacking, so say the least. And as far as
reading the manual, the manual does not have all the settings that I needed
in order to access the internet and to send pictures. When I added the WIX
package to my account, you would have thought the sales rep would have told
me that I needed to do those things, not just tell me that Im "all up and
running".
