The most colorful invention in the past few decades is the cell phone, which revolutionized communication and redefined the world as a global village. The cell phones too, have come a long way, from being a rarity, expensive on the person and offering the only service of talking to another person. However, the rapid development of technology that the last couple of decades saw led to the evolution of the cell phone from a rarity to a necessity! It is no more just a piece of technology used to talk to somebody on the other side of the globe. The cell phones evolved into smaller, compact models that multi-tasked and allowed for communication, information sharing, carrying out speedy calculations, clicking photographs, providing access to internet and many more such functions.
The cell phone has blossomed out into a world onto itself, and is a fine way of effort-reduction while carrying out multiple operations the same time.

The facility of video messaging is next on list, allowing a thirty-second video, destined to warm your loved one’s heart, to be recorded on the phone and then instantaneously sent to any other phone or emailed.
Incorporation of the picture/video messaging service and a phone compatible with such technology would enable the user to avail the facilities of picture/ video messaging ad explore technology at one of its best. A video messaging service entitles the user to both photo as well as video sharing while photo messaging service is restricted to photos.
The Advantage:
The plus side of this particular piece of technology is that, a phone that does not have an in-built photo/video messaging facility may also avail this service. Such phones are not endowed with the facility of sending photo messages or video messages. But, with Verizon wireless subscription, they can view the pictures that are sent to them, through directions provided by Verizon to logon to the online platform Pix Place, where the photos that have been ‘messaged’ to them can be viewed.

There is an online tool called the VZWPix Place, which is a platform to upload and share photographs. Any number of pictures taken can be instantly uploaded and stored in albums at the Pix Place. This Pix Place account is accessible from the email that is registered with the Verizon Wireless service and so, pictures that have been uploaded can be viewed from any computer! Speak of easy technology and here it is!
Those who want to combine pictures and video in a single message can do so too. Another feature that has caught the eye is the compatibility with external mobile networks. A Verizon mobile phone with the video messaging service can share pictures or videos with another domestic network on any other mobile too, broadening the feature’s applicability! The horizon of the Verizon photo/video messaging service extends internationally as well. The nominal charges for sending/uploading the photos or videos (0.50 $) and receiving such messages (0.25$), with additional roaming charges for international sharing are the final tip in favor of this technology.
‘Limited’ Limitations:
However, the slight limitations that users face is that the charges, while roaming, are increased as per the size of the file that is shared, and the messaging charges for each photo/video remain constant up to the 1st ten recipients whereupon there is an increase.
Also, the sending/receiving obviously depends on the coverage area and our presence in it while using the application.
