# Send photos and media files to a mobile phone

You can use Photoshop Elements to send your photos and media files to a mobile phone. The files are sent to the e‑mail address of the mobile phone, and can be displayed on the phone when they are received.

Note: Not all mobile phones that have an e‑mail address can receive image attachments. The ability to receive and view files depends on several factors, including the phone, the carrier, and the user’s calling plan or service agreement. Before sending files to a mobile phone, check whether the recipient’s mobile phone can receive attachments. For information about sending photos to mobile phones, see Sending photos to mobile phones.

Before sending, you must add the mobile phone e‑mail addresses of the intended recipients to your contact book.

1. Select one or more files in the Photo Browser or Date view.
2. Click the Share tab in the Palette bin, and then choose E‑mail To Mobile Phone from the pop‑up menu.
3. Select one or more recipients from the list of names. You can select names that have a mobile phone e‑mail address stored in your contact book.
4. Click Continue and follow the on‑screen instructions to finish sending the files to the recipients. Depending on the recipients’ carriers and your own e‑mail program, you might need to do one or more of the following:

   - Confirm the e‑mail service you want to use.

   - Specify the size of the attachment.

   - Use the appropriate command for your e‑mail program to send the prepared message.
