Receiving Pictures From A Dtac Thai Cellphone (computer Or Us Cell Phone Company)

[HYENA]

I have Tmobile in the US. Although they say my Nokia 5300 will work in Thailand it won't. They claim a bunch of other rubbish which has me ready to pay the penalty and switch to another provider.

My problem- I need to be able to receive photos (internet or cellphone) from Thailand for business. Taking camera photos and sending them through a computer (laptop being too bulky) isn't sensible but I can't find any way in this technological world to overcome this problem

Any suggestions would be welcome!

Thank you kindly in advance!

Well, you should be able to email the pictures, most likely as attachments. I think that with Nokia, in addition to allowing you to attach them, I think that in the context menu for the picture you can email it.

Also, if you don't mind waiting, just get a new memory card for the phone you'll be using. It should come with an adapter that will let you use the reduced size memory chip used in phones in a regular old SD card slot on a internet shop's computer. Email as many or as few of the pictures as you'd like.

I have a Nokia and can sms messages. I called Tmobile but can't email photos abroad (they don't know why) but I can in the US. Same with my wife. I just had her buy a Nokia but she can email pics in Siam but I can't get them here. I get a message error (same as she does over there) after sending a picture that says the picture message delivery failed.

I'm trying to figure a way she can email them to the internet (then I can see them) but everything takes so long and is so complicated over there, after a week and hours of her looking and asking, I've given up.

People have technology but no one seems to know the full capability of anything from what I, and she have learned. She's trying to learn the Internet but believe it or not...after going to 3 schools, she still hasn't been taught how to take pictures and email them (first request when signing up for the class)! Seems most the internet "schools" want your money, then they want you to go uninstructed and only send simple emails and the instructor's are all "busy" and leave once you come and log on (expensive internet cafe, basically). Forget any real instruction, creating new folders, editing pictures, cut and paste text, surfing the internet and teaching them how to use the correct words to find a specific thing on the net or anything basic like that.

I've also seen other blogs on the internet where Americans can't send or receive photos from abroad unless they have the same cellphone company (which is rare).

I have plenty of memory--something like 9 GB with cards and phone memory so that's not the issue (it takes videos, holds 1000 songs, etc-plenty memory left) it's just the ability to send a picture message or receive one that is lacking. Text email goes easy every time--just can't get a pic across the ocean.
