Hello again. I got a fancy prancy new mobile phone recently with video capture :p . I want to transfer a video I made on it (of me playing the guitar, badly) to GoogleTube, but the file is too big to put in an MMS message. I have a Yahoo mailbox so I was wondering if its possible to transfer files to your Yahoo folders through their WAP portal. I would "just try it" except I don't want to waste credit buying the connection time if it won't work. Any answers appriciated.

Steven.

For : short answer first — the old-style Yahoo WAP/mobile mail pages are very unlikely to let you upload a full video from a feature/WAP browser. Early mobile web profiles and many phones did not expose a reliable file‑upload control, so trying to push a multi‑megabyte clip through a WAP mailbox is usually a dead end. (itp.nyu.edu)

Practical, reliable workflow (builds on points from and ): move the video off the phone to a computer, then upload to YouTube. On Android, plug in a USB cable, unlock the phone and pick “File transfer” so the phone appears in Explorer; on iPhone use the Photos app/iCloud or the Apple Devices app on Windows to import. If you can’t use a cable, a microSD reader, Bluetooth transfer or a cloud sync (Drive/Dropbox) are alternatives. These methods avoid WAP/browser limitations and save mobile data. ()

Once the file is on a PC, convert/compress it to a YouTube‑friendly format (MP4 container, H.264 video, AAC audio) and reduce resolution/bitrate if needed — this makes uploads faster and avoids failures. HandBrake is a free, dependable transcoder for this job and has sensible presets for phone video. After conversion, sign into YouTube and upload from the computer (faster, more control over title/description/privacy). ()

A couple of quick cautions: MMS size limits are carrier‑dependent and typically far too small for video (the “300 kB-ish” rule of thumb), so don’t rely on MMS to get a camera clip online. If you have a modern smartphone (not a WAP feature phone), the YouTube app or full mobile browser can upload directly — but for older WAP phones the PC route is the only pragmatic option.

If your phone has bluetooth, and your PC has it too, then you can copy the file to your PC, and then xfer to GoogleTube.

there is also other way if you have your mobile data transfer cable, you can easily transfer it from your phone to your PC.

You did not make one thing clear.Do you want to upload it directly from your phone or from any other source?
