Does anyone know of any good, cheap / free / open source services that allow me to set up email addresses for my users so they can upload photos (and video) from their mobile phones?

If I want to allow users to send photos by text message are there any services that can do this?

Examples of websites that allow this are plentiful - I dont want to go down the route of bespoke mobile apps because of limited development resources so think upload via email attachment is the best option, browsing to a mobile webpage and then uploading by browsing to file on phone with phone browser is probably a clunky user experience.

Any and all advice greatly appreciated thanks

Have you tried the Opera Mini v3.1.8295 Java? It seems to be pretty good!

as @Harry Miller said , using Opera`s mobile browser ( current version 4.5 and 5.0 in beta) is a good idea ( your users must download it , its supported on all phones that support java & on Symbian).

iPhone & android users can browse to your site without the use of any extra software. other smart phones & cellphones can't , for this purpose you must hire a developer to make a mobile version of your website. Also you may want to consider building a special app for your iPhone users ( if thats the majority of mobile web browsers that your users have)

Hope that helps.
