I cannot attach pictures and files to my messages on my iPad? Why is that?

Due to restrictions imposed by the manufacturer, it is not possible to send messages with pictures and files on your iPad. As soon as it becomes possible, we’ll be adding sending pictures and any files to the iPad web app.

Which files can I send with mysms?

With mysms you can send any kind of file you want – word documents, pdf-files, avi-files, etc.

If the recipient uses mysms Android or our web app, your pictures will be displayed directly in the message. If your recipient is not using mysms, she/he will receive your files as a link. After clicking this link, she/he will be shown the full picture/file.

We handle messages with attachment like SMS messages (and not MMS). Therefore, a message with pictures or files costs you the same as a message without attachment.

How do I attach pictures and files to a text message?

1. Click on the attachment button Button next to the text field of your text message.

2. Choose your desired file format in the new window.

3. Next, pick the picture or file you want to send.

4. Insert your recipient and text and there you go!


You can send 4 pictures or files per text message, 10 MB maximum per attached picture/file.

Where exactly can I send messages?

With mysms you can send messages worldwide at no charge. The only requirement is that your contact also uses mysms.

For Android: When using mysms Android, you can also send messages via your mobile carrier and other Websms services. Please contact the provider directly to find out more about supported countries.

How can I send SMS via my network service provider online (Android only)?

Please note: This feature is only available for Android due to technical restrictions.

In the web app you'll find a number of options for sending text messages, similar to on your Android smartphone. When you write a new SMS, select your network service provider (SIM icon) and this message will be sent via your mobile service provider. There are no additional fees when you use mysms in this way.


Requirements:

  • In order to access your smartphone, you need an active internet connection on your Android smartphone. mysms uses the same data package that is used on the smartphone for email and surfing.
  • If you’re using a version of Android prior to version 2.2, you’ll have to manually start mysms on your smartphone in order to send SMS via your network service provider.

What are the icons next to my messages supposed to mean?
