I'd like to be able to e-mail graphic images to my MMS capable phone. 
I can already email 160 character text messages via SMS by emailing to
XXXXXXXXXXXXX@mmode.com.  I imagine that I could sign up for the
phone's data plan and download the images, but MMS has the advantage
that incoming messages are free.

So what do I need to do to email (or otherwise post from my computer)
an image via MMS?

Which cell phone model have you? , probably there is an available USB
cable for your phone to connect it to the computer and download images
to your phone from the PC.

And which is your service provider?

Sorry, I should have been clearer.  I'd like to e-mail images on
demand from a server at home.  I'll send a SMS-email to the server and
it will mail back an image I request, ultimately.  Right now, I just
need information on how to send an image to the cell phone.

I have a Nokia 6820 on Cingular in the mid-west of the US.

Hi!!

I found some info for sending messages via e-mail to Cingular phones:
For e-mailing just text: your_cingular_number@mobile.mycingular.com 
For MMS (graphics): your_cingular_number@mms.mycingular.com 

Check these options also:
your_cingular_number@cingularme.com 

JPG and GIF attachments will work when emailing but make sure the
resolution fits your screen.

Note that you have to register with multimedia messaging through
cingular.com for that email to work. Registration used to be free
nowadays appears to be paid, you just have to sign up authorizing mms
messages to be sent to your phone. I think that this depends on your
contracted service plan. See:
http://www.cingular.com/media/multimedia_messaging

Let me know if this helps you.

Regards,
livioflores-ga

How did you find that e-mail address?  I didn't see it in the FAQ on
the Cingular site.

The only problem I see now is that I'm actually a former AT&T
customer.  I'll have to experiment to see if the same thing works with
mmode... I found the "former AT&T" website where it talks about
picture messaging, but nothing on it (that I've found) says anything
about sending from an outside e-mail address to the AT&T phone.

It might be possible to change my phone over to a Cingular plan... I'm
not quite sure why this wasn't done for everyone automatically...

Nope, mms.mmode.com doesn't work.  For grins, I tried the
mms.mycingular.com and mobile.mycingular.com without success.  I
couldn't find a box to check to enable picture messaging on the
"formerly AT&T" part of the cingular website...

Hey,

Nice phone.  Anyway, if you could just squeeze that pic in an e-mail
and then access it from your phone that might work.

I think you need to opt for data plan to receive MMS message. 

Excerpt from https://www.cingular.com/media/multimedia_messaging_faqs#sending

"How can I send a multimedia message to a handset from my e-mail?

Simply send it to your friend's multimedia messaging e-mail address.
For Cingular subscribers, this address is
theirnumber@mms.mycingular.com. Your friends will receive the picture
and the attachments on their handsets if they subscribe to Multimedia
Messaging."

hey what about a virgin mobile phone
