How does the Iphone send a picture message to a verizon customer?

Using iPhone's email picture function, you can still get your photos over to your friends' phones by emailing it to their phone. This does not require that the destination phone has email support. By emailing your picture to their phone and not their email, they'll receive it like a normal MMS message, provided they have MMS support on their phone.

Here's how to do it:

1) open a photo on your iPhone

2) click on the send photo link (bottom left hand icon)

3) select to email the photo

4) using the table below, enter the phone number of the person you want to send to, followed by the email prefix for their provider

Service Provider MMS Email Prefix

Verizon vzwpix.com

AT&T/Cingular mms.att.com

Sprint/Nextel messaging.sprintpcs.com

T-Mobile tmomail.net

Virgin vmobl.net

Boost Mobile myboostmobile.com

Alltel message.alltel.com

Amp'd Mobile vzwpix.com

So, for instance, if you wanted to send an email to a Verizon user who's number was 8175551212, you'd send to 8175551212@vzwpix.com.

You have to email it unfortunately
