Posting Pictures by MMS/Email

Dear members,

Today we've officially open our new features which allow you to post your pictures by sending it over MMS or by an Email.
As of its mission -to allow unsupported older mobile user- to posting their pictures here, then this feature is dedicated for submiting pictures only. You cannot posting ordinary "text only" blog with this kind method.

This is how it works.
In this example we act as username with an id's: sema and our password: secret

* EMAIL POSTING
1. Create / compose a new mail and don't forget to attach a picture into it.
2. Type in the Subject area: sema#secret#My Holiday#This is me in Bali

This is a special text string which necessary to recognize which member has posted the pics, the title and picture story that want to publish along with the pictures. The format of text string is following this key:

username#password#title#story

We put username, password, title post, and short Picture story into single line text which separated by Cross Hatch symbols ( # ).
The first two parts (username#password) is an essensial. Without these it is impossible to recognize the owner of its post. Last two parts (title#story) is an option. You may put these or just leave it blank and edit it later on MobineSSia's blog editor.

3. Leave your Email body as blank. You can put anything here which will not processed by our system.
4. Send your email to this address:

post@mobinessia.com

That's all.

* MMS POSTING
1. Create / compose a new Picture Message with your gadget.
2. Type special text string -similar to the explanation above- as the first MMS part.
3. Add image/picture part, and select the proper image that you want to post.
4. Press Send button, and select option to Enter email Address instead of Entering phone number, as it recipient. Type the same email address as above, and send it.
Keep that email address on your phone contact list for future purpose.

NOTES
We observe some situation as below:
* MMS Posting will takes much more longer time to reach our mailserver, rather than an Email. We cannot tell how long, since its really depends on your phone operator / provider. For ilustration, we use Indosat-M3 and its MMS takes about 3 to 7 hours to reach our mailserver.
* We found that MMS posting if more often failed than Email method; such as undelivered message, some portion text probably missing etc.
* Take notice in MMS composing sequence exactly as above. Put the special text string at first, and add picture part secondly.
* This picture post method is valid for only ONE picture for once submission. It is means that we can not attach more than one picture in one MMS / Email.
