Ever wanted to send a cool picture you’ve snapped with your iPhone as a text message? Well, too bad, MMS is currently not supported with the iPhone. Hold on though–there is a workaround. It involves emailing the picture with your iPhone to your target’s phone number. Here’s how.

Believe it or not, every cell phone number has an email address. To get that address, check the list of email addresses below for various wireless companies, or have your friend send you an MMS to your email address. Access the email on your iPhone and check out the “From:” field. That is the cell phone’s email address. You can add that address to your contacts. Voila, you can now send MMS messages to your friend’s phone.

These addresses are for US-based carriers. The Xs are the 10 digit phone numbe.
