Picture messaging is used by mobile phone owners to customize
their mobile phone displays. I am sure many users saw the
pictures on mobile displays used by friends and family before.
These picture messages could be personalized pictures, just some
fun pictures or even company logos.
Regardless of the nature of the pictures it surely have taken
off in the industry and handset owners all love to have their
own pictures on their phones.Recently some companies published
articles about the Wireless service providers that are easing
the use of picture messages in an advance form called MMS. The
article basically describes how inter-network agreements will
allow mobile phone users to take pictures of nearly anything and
send it to someone. Well, that is still to come. For the time
being we will focus on the use of static images known as picture
sms (normally black and white pictures) created by companies or
individuals to customized mobile phones.
Yahoo mobile India offers a picture message generator where
users are able to generate their own picture messages. During
the process, a special code is generated which the user then
send to a short code in order to download the SMS. The user's
mobile account is then charged with the download costs. Revenue
share with the operator takes place in order to cover costs.
Several options are available for mobile phone users. One such
product is PositiveSMS V2 - a free downloadable desktop
application. This desktop application offers users a picture
message generator with which users could generate their own
pictures and send to friends and family at the cost of 3 credits
per picture. Users simply download the free desktop (pc to
mobile) software and register online for a username and password
(each user receives 10 free test sms). Once registered the user
could go to their desktop software and select the picture
message icon.
Users could then upload various file formats for editing (png,
gif, jpeg, ico, jpg) or create their own new picture with the
generator, which is available.
Advanced options such as saving the message in the history or
scheduling the message are available to users. The software also
contains a display, which shows users what the picture looks
like while changing it.
This tool is a great feature for users just wanting to have fun
with pictures - in particular picture messaging to friends and
family. Networks and coverage, as well as payment options and
pricing is available to users at the network coverage list.
The software is ideal for personal use or even creating company
logos sending it to various clients. If you enjoy mobile fun
this is surely an option to look at. Visit SMS warehouse for more
