cellioDear Lazyweb,
My new cell phone comes with a camera. That's not why I bought it (I'm indifferent to cameras), but, well, so long as it's there... But -- how do I get the photos off the phone and to someplace where they can do some good (i.e. my computer)? Asking Google suggests that I buy a cable and some software, assuming I can find some that's compatable with my phone, which so far isn't working out for me.
I know it's possible to post photos to LJ, so I went down that path, but I got blocked on "enter your cell phone's email address in the authorization list" (my cell phone's what? How would I know?), and side-effects of my Google searches suggest that Verizon is going to charge me for that anyway. Is that the case? For those of you who post pictures, what are you doing?

Date: 2007-10-01 02:08 am (UTC)It occurred to me to try to look this up under "calling plans" on their web site, and that took me to a FAQ that says I can email photos for 25 cents a message (plus air time, which doesn't tend to matter). I just tried this and the email came from number@vzwpix.com, which is not the address LJ lists. (But hey, if I can email photos to myself, that's good enough; LJ was the means, not the end, here.)
