The downside to this is that you need to upgrade to iPhone OS 3.1 to take advantage of the MMS update. Once you’ve upgraded to iPhone OS 3.1 you’re iPhone will be able to do something it should have been able to do a long time ago…..receive free picture messages from PixDrop! :)

Now you can send you’re friends your favorite “epic fail” or “lolcats” photos for free from PixDrop.com, even if they have an iPhone! Enjoy!

While smartphones like the BlackBerry and the iPhone have made it easier to save images onto your phone from the web, there is still a growing need and desire to send picture messages for free and avoid carrier fees, or web data fees.

We’re proud of the love all you users have shown us. We’re also proud of all of the love that Google has shown us over the past two years - almost 75% of our traffic comes from the big G now!

Be sure to check back later this summer as AT&T rolls out its picture messaging service for iPhone users, so you can finally send all those iPhone users a free picture message from the web!

Thanks for another great year!

Unfortunately, things are not looking so good and it looks like we’re still having issues with Verizon blocking our servers from sending messages to their customers phones.

However, we’ve made a work around for this problem by releasing our new beta picture uploader! By uploading your pics from your computer you can easily access them from the web on  your phone! We also send you a text message for free with the link to the picture to download. This actually works with ALL carriers as long as your phone has a mobile web browser!

Works Worldwide With Any Carrier! http://www.pixdrop.com/blog/2008/02/18/alternative-method-for-sending-free-picture-messages-is-now-available-works-worldwide-with-any-carrier/ http://www.pixdrop.com/blog/2008/02/18/alternative-method-for-sending-free-picture-messages-is-now-available-works-worldwide-with-any-carrier/#comments Tue, 19 Feb 2008 04:28:38 +0000 admin http://www.pixdrop.com/blog/2008/02/18/alternative-method-for-sending-free-picture-messages-is-now-available-works-worldwide-with-any-carrier/ Tonight we’re proud to release our free picture uploader (beta) that can be used to get pictures from your computer to your cell phone for free! Our new picture uploader offers users another way to get pictures from their computer to their phone if you don’t have Verizon Wireless, Sprint, or AT&T formerly Cingular. This method should work with all cell phone carriers around the world and on all mobile phones that have an internet enabled web browser!

How’s it work? You upload your picture with our new picture upload tool and you’ll receive an image ID with instructions on how to finish transferring the picture to your handset from our website. We’ll also send you a text message for free with the instructions plus the direct link to your picture. From your phone, you just click the link in the text message, or open your mobile web browser and go to http://pixdrop.com/m where you’ll be asked for your five digit image ID. Then your image will be displayed and you can save it to your phone for free! Keep in mind that this works on all phones with a web browser, so you can send yourself pictures to your Apple iPhone or iPod Touch with our new upload tool!

Images aren’t resized or reformatted, so make sure to resize your images before attempting to upload. You do not need to send yourself a text message to be able to transfer your pictures, so you can use this method anywhere in the world, as long as your phone has a web browser! Keep in mind that you may be charged a small amount for data transfer if you don’t have a data plan. Also, note that this works great for sending pictures to your iPhone or iPod Touch over the internet!

The new free picture messaging uploader tool can be found at http://www.pixdrop.com/uploader.php! Enjoy!
