texting iPhone 4 screenshots to 3G users

[abbstrack]

has anyone run into any issues sending screenshots to 3G users? I texted a screenshot taken from my iPhone 4 to three different 3G users (neither of whom have upgraded from 3.1.3) and all three received the same error message:

I havent had any issues sending photos to those users via mms, only screenshots taken from the phone itself.

Probably because of the size of the screenshot. Larger resolution = larger file size. You probably can't send a picture that large through MMS.

larger pictures are sent through MMS all the time.

My screen shots won't send to 3G users either.

I had the same problem.
So copied the screenshot to PC, then saved the *.png file to *.jpg and then synced it back to iphone.

Sent OK after this. Maybe it is the *.png format that MMS doesnt like ?

This worked for me anyway

Tried this theory. Sent a picture to someone with a 3GS and it was 2.9MB - went right through. Then tried to send a screenshot that was 946k, and it failed. So it's not the resolution or picture size causing that problem.

I am able to send screen shots to iPhone 3G and 3GS.

I got the same message when my mom sent me a pic. Wasn't from an iPhone tho.

I thought the 3G had a 600kb file size limit in MMS. That could be the issue.

but you CAN send them via MMS..certain phones can't recieve them

It's probably what one of the above posters said:

Screenshots are saved as .PNG files. Maybe, AT&T has a problem converting PNGs during MMS uploads.
