Hi there

Firstly, I'd like to say GALLERY ROCKS! It's such a fantastic program, I love it!

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place, I just wasn't sure where to start. I have a site using gallery and we want to incorporate the option for people to download photos from the gallery to their mobile phone (cell phone :)) as wallpaper. Do you need to have an SMS provider or something? I'm really not sure where to start.

Any suggestions or clues??

Many thanks!
Nicole

smartphones usually have web-browsers and can use the normal gallery interface to view and save images.

mobiles that have an email client can use the "ecard" module of g2 to receive mails with images as attachement.

mobiles that only have MMS will need to get the images through some MMS message. and for that you need a computer -> MMS gateway.
once you have the hardware, you'll need to add a small g2 module that sends the images to the requested number, which would work similarly to the ecard module.

note that there's an existing 3rd party module to send images from mobiles via email to g2 (upload via email).
