From choosing your ideal phone to brushing up on phone photography, we can help get your picture messaging skills up to scratch.

• Buy a Vodafone live! picture messaging phone

If your friends don't have a picture messaging phone, you can still send them a picture message. They’ll receive a text message asking them to go to a web address where they’ll be able to enjoy your message online. All they need is a PC or a PDA with internet access, or a WAP phone.

Alternatively, you can send your picture message direct to their email address.
