Is there any way to send a photo from my home Mac to a cell phone?
 
Is there any way to send a photo from my home Mac to a cell phone?

Depending on which carrier the receiving cell phone is using, you can email pictures and i think certain kinds of sounds to a phone.

Verizion is [ten-digit number]@vzwpix.com
AT&T is [ten-digit number]@cingularme.com

I dont think I've ever gotten the AT&T to work before, but I use the Verizon method all the time to send picture messages.
 
for att i dont think so.

i keep sending stuff to my phone from my email address to:
10 digit#@mms.att.net
and it worked fine everytime.
granted it does cost $$ if u dont have a plan.
 
OK thanks, I do use AT&T so I guess that I am out until I get the iPhone 3G.
 
This will also work from your computer but also good for iPhone
