Cell phones share pictures via MMS. MMS is like SMS, and is not call based. It is just a messaging protocol. So the only thing you could do with the meetme app that might help send the pictures is collect the callerid from the users and provide that to a parallel app that dealt with the sending. If you use VoIP, H323 and IAX support pictures and video. While I have heard of a VoIP app for my cell phone, the data costs would be way to high to use it instead of a normal call. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
