4 members of my family have smart phones
My mom does not

She doesnt get to recieve the pictures we send to each other

I thought there was a photo album/digital picture frame that could recieve email/texts and display pictures if sent to it?

So I could send a picture to an email/phone number and without anymore work it would be displayed on a digital picture frame.
is this possible?

ok so its something like this

Hi

Not that service you mention but I do use Skydrive as my phone automatically uploads any pictures I take with my Nokia Windows Phone, so allowing the folder on Skydrive to be accessed by family members, allows them to view any pics I take.

You could copy the pics from your phones and add them to a Skydrive account so your mom can access the pics you all take. BUT you would need to transfer them to a digital photo frame as you mentioned in your post BUT as that does not normally come automatically you would need to manually transfer the pics by SD card or USB pen etc. to the photo frame.

Thanks, but I bolded the issue. The service costs $90/year, but my family all exchanges pics and the only time she sees them is when my Dad shows her from his iphone.
Worse, she is constantly trying to find emails or her AOL account is full of emails and bounces back emails.
I talk to her about the cost of using AOL and it's many Cons, but she won't upgrade to gmail/etc.
I guess shes just old?

HP seem to do a frame that can talk to online accounts:

Just needs a WiFi connection and then configured to access on online source.
