How do I twitpic my phone?

I would like to use TweetMyMac to send iSight pictures to me via MMS. Unfortunately, all it actually does is text a link to a Twitpic page, rather than MMS-ing the picture to me, and I can't follow links from my internet-less non-smartphone.
Does anyone know a way to make this work? I might need to make a custom command...if I make a command that tells TweetMyMac to upload the picture to a site that then sends the picture by MMS to me, what site would that be?

Well, I just wrote a script that should do exactly what you want assuming you can email pictures to your phone. If you can use it, just leave a comment/MeMail me and I'll hook you up with it.

Mrs. EtzHadaat here: 47triple2, that would be great! MeMail either of us, or use the email address in my profile.
Running Snow Leopard and the iMac would be left on (screensavered) all the time. The carrier is Verizon Wireless, and yeah, we know the 1234567890@vtext.com email address.

Best answer: Here's the script.
Go to /Applications/Utilities/AppleScript Editor.app and open the unzipped file.
Edit the first two lines. The first is your cell phone's email addy, the second is your email address that you send email from in Apple Mail. Hit save and quit AppleScript Editor.
Move the app to a convenient place. I use ~/Documents/AppleScripts.
Send the kind of email you want to have activate the script to your computer. (This is so we can have all the settings easily added.)
In Apple Mail select the email you sent to yourself. Open Mail's preferences and go to the Rules pane. Add a new rule and add Subject line and From variables. These should autofill with your phone's email and the subject line you wish to have activate the script. Make sure that the rule runs when *all* the variables are matched. ;)
Now set the "perform the following actions" to:
Run Applescript
Mark message as read
Delete message (This way it won't clutter up your email. ;) )
Hit the OK button and you should be good to go!

This thread is closed to new comments.
I have T-Mobile and could totally hook this up for myself, IDK how others work. Can you email yourself pictures? (e.g. I can send pics to 2345678910@tmomail.net and have them arrive on my phone. In fact, I use this to get the current doppler radar image onto my dumbphone.)
