Now I know I can send e-mail to my Nokia 2126i phone, and vice versa, but I've never tried pictures yet. I'll try to experiment on my Moto C139 and report back.

Anything bigger and it wouldn't go through. And I could only send one pic at a time. I used a photo editing program called "photo impression 4" to resize the pics to the screen size 128x160 pixels. My guess is that you were sending a picture over 22kb. After a little research I have found the file size must be no larger than 30kb. The following info was posted over on the Yahoo group: SENDING GIF AND JPG FILES (This is for the Tracfone and Net10 C261, V176, and W370 only that are registered to AT&T) 1. Find a .gif or .jpg image on the web that is roughly 128x160 (the size of the screen) and under 30kb (just to be safe) and save it to your computer 2. Open up your email client 3. Create a new message with background (or whatever) as your subject 4. Attach the file to the message 5. Send it to yournumber@... 6. You will receive the message on your phone, open it and download it 7. Once downloaded, open it and make sure the picture is there and press the center menu button 8. Scroll to "save content" and select 9. Give it a name and save it your phone 10. It is now on your phone and you can set it as a background just like the pre-installed ones on your phone (If using a W370, the picture is stored in the "additional storage device".)

I wrote that demo for someone there, as well as posting it when the forum started here. If you look you'll notice that the author was crazycdz or chrisdz (lol I don't even know my own email)
