How to upload a mobile photo / video / note to my Facebook profile

Labels:

I have been fighting with Facebook to accept my mobile pictures. After a while I found it worked beautifully to send them in as atxt message to an email address. Maybe there is something you need help with as well? I pulled all of this info from the Facebook mobile help page. The questions may be easier to find answers to on their site, but sometimes seeing it in a different location is helpful. Good Luck! Feel free to ask me additional questions. I will do my best to respond in a reasonable ammount of time. - Milo

How do I start?
Anyone can start just by sending a photo from your phone to mobile@facebook.com or a note to notes@facebook.com. We'll send you back a code to confirm your phone. Enter this code on the site once, and you're confirmed to continue uploading from your phone. To start, go to the Mobile Uploads tab of the Mobile page.

Which carriers support Facebook Mobile Uploads?
In the United States, Facebook Mobile Uploads are supported by AT&T, Boost, Nextel, Sprint, Verizon, Helio, and Virgin USA. In Canada, this functionality is supported by Bell Mobility, Aliant, Solo, Fido, Rogers, TELUS, SaskTel, and MTS. In the UK, this functionality is supported by O2. If you have another carrier, it should still work, but we cannot guarantee that it will.

Will uploading work from my phone?
Sending messages is a little different on every phone. If you have an iPhone, simply use the Facebook for iPhone application available for free from the iTunes App Store. To send a photo from the Facebook for iPhone application, click the camera icon on the home page.To upload to Facebook from any other phone, your phone needs to be able to send multimedia messages (MMS) to an email address. Most new phones can do this, but not all phones support this feature. Check with your carrier and/or device manufacturer to find out how to send multimedia messages from your phone.

Do I need Facebook Mobile Texts to use this?
No. Mobile Uploads and Mobile Texts are both a part of Facebook Mobile, but you can use either one by itself.

How do I upload photos from my phone?
To upload photos to Facebook Photos, follow these steps:
Go to the Mobile Uploads tab of the Mobile page.

How do I upload notes from my phone?
To upload notes from your phone, follow these steps:
Go to the Mobile Uploads tab of the Mobile page.

Send videos as multimedia messages to mobile@facebook.com. To add a title, include it as the subject line of your message. To add a description, include it in the body of your message.

Can I text message a note instead?
Yes, just text "note" followed by the body of your note to FBOOK (32665). You must have Facebook Mobile Texts in order to do this.

Does Mobile Uploads cost money?
Facebook does not charge for Mobile Uploads. However, your carrier's normal messaging and picture messaging charges will apply. Check with your carrier to find out what plans are available and how much they cost.

Mobile photo/video will not upload.
For iPhone users, simply use the Facebook for iPhone application available for free from the iTunes App Store. For all other phones, please make sure you are sending an MMS (not email) to mobile@facebook.com and that MMS is included in your service plan. Please click here if none of the above information resolves your issue.

My carrier is not supported.
Which mobile feature are you trying to use?

Uploads
It is possible to upload photos even though your carrier is not supported, though we cannot guarantee it will work. To begin uploading photos from your mobile phone, just send a photo in a multimedia message (MMS) to the email address mobile@facebook.com. You will then receive a text message containing your Mobile Uploads confirmation code. You can enter this code in the Mobile Uploads section of the Mobile application when logged in from a computer. You will not need a code for subsequent uploads.

Verification
You should be able to verify your account via your mobile phone even though your carrier is unsupported. Simply select the "Verify" link found below the "word in the box" (i.e., the captcha) that you see when poking, messaging, or sending friend requests. Then select your country code and enter your mobile number.

Texts
Thanks for your interest in Facebook Mobile. We encourage you to talk to your carrier to let them know that you are interested in this service. If enough people contact them, it may convince them to support our texts. For now, please note that you can use our Mobile Uploads feature to upload photos, videos and notes directly from your phone. You should also be able to access your account via Mobile Web at m.facebook.com or iphone.facebook.com for iPhones.
