Smartphone newbie question


spikey

Recommended Posts

Following the sad demise of my long-suffering £14 Nokia mobile with its multi-sectioned screen and added SpikeyMatic Non-Slip Grip System (the red Royal Mail rubber band wrapped twice round it), I have succumbed to persuasion and acquired My First Smartphone (a Motorola G7 Power, since you asked).  All is well, considering, so far, but I am concerned about a potential operational problem.

 

If whilst out and about I have a need to take a snap of something and wish to send it back to base, how might I do that when Mrs Spikey does not (yet) have a smartphone of her own?  All I can think of is to attach it to an email and send that, then phone her and urge her to strike up the laptop.  But is it even possible to attach a picture to an email sent from an Android phone?  Is there another way of achieving the objective?

When you view the photo there's a 'share' button which lets you share via a variety of methods. One of which is email.

Something to be aware of is that sharing via picture message/text will cost around 45p on many tariffs (pay as you go and some contracts).


Sending via email as above (or messaging apps such as Facebook messenger or WhatsApp for example) will cost a lot less as it goes as mobile data (or free if connected to WiFi).


this is just something to be aware of if Mrs Spikey or other friends or family get/have smartphones.
