How do i access my yahoo email from my cell phone?

Getting a picture from a cell phone that can't MMS message to an email address.

  • I'd like to get an image off my cell phone. The problem is that there's no away to connect the phone to a pc and no way to send an MMS message to an email address, only a phone number. Am I totally screwed? The phone is a http://www.latest-mobile.com/articles/review/pantech-pg3200_3351, which is fine for basic use, I didn't think I'd ever need to get a picture off the thing so I was never too concerned with it. But after messing around with it I've pretty much found there's no way to get pictures off the phone. No usb port, no bluetooth, nothing. And I can't send MMS messages to an email address, only a phone number. The service is the AT&T "pay as you go". I realize a way around this would be to send the picture to someone then have them email it to me from their phone. The problem with this is that the person in the picture wouldn't appreciate me sharing the image with anyone. So unless I have hands on access to another phone capable of helping me out (I don't) that's a no-go. Additionally, I have access to mobile email on the phone with a yahoo account but apparently can't send attachments from it. Same with AIM.

  • Answer:

    Can you download the picture via the AT&T website? With T-Mobile, they have a "backup" feature that allows you to download all of your cell phone content into a photo album on the T-Mobile website. Maybe AT&T has something similar? Maybe? Hopefully?

This also probably doesn't apply, but if you really just need some form of the pic (like, say, for 'evidence' or just to trigger a happy memory) and don't care too much about quality, you can just take a picture of your phone's screen with a regular camera. Quality-wise, it will be kind of like recording to a cassette by holding it up to your radio, but then again, I used to do that as a kid to "DJ" my own shows, so ....

Sorry for the late response, I just kinda sat on this issue for a while. I ended up getting a http://nextelonline.nextel.com/NASApp/onlinestore/en/Action/DisplayPhones?phoneSKU=SPHM800ZKS so the point is kinda moot now.

healthytext, it's looking like what i would consider the most direct best answer so far with the cable you linked to. Though I am iffy about the fact that the countries listed under your sync software link don't include the US.

Go to a wireless store and have the salesman handle the MMS-and-forwarding for you. Your friend wouldn't object (even if he knew) to your showing the photo to a complete stranger.

nthing if it's just one photo, display the photo on your phone and take a picture of the display with a high-quality camera. Does the person in the picture have a mobile with MMS capability? Just MMS their phone with it and then they can figure out what to do with it (download, email, etc.,)

I was gonna say the same as no1hatchling. That's the low-tech road I'd take.

looks like you can use an http://www.etribes.com/index_etribes.php account to do this: you can http://www.etribes.com/features.html to your account and have it http://www.etribes.com/features.html (disclaimer: haven't tried it. seems to be what u need).
