number in your carrier’s email format (e.g., [e-mail] or

email address, that is no longerrecommendedbecausesome carriers have
begun blocking some MMS messagesand senders, which can result in your

HD photos or video downloads.
You may want to set some scheduled events to take photos at specific
times (e.g., 9AM and 9 PMso that you will getat least two pictures every
