Verizon Wireless and Photobucket announced a new mobile photo service to allow users with select devices to upload photos to a Photobucket album directly from their mobile phones.

To utilize the application, users first need to sign up for a Photobucket account and enter their log-in information to link their Verizon Wireless account to their Photobucket online photo album. Afterwards, you need to download the Photobucket app. To do so, text “photob” to 2777, or look for it in the “Community and Sharing” category of the Verizon Wireless “Get It Now” catalog. Alternatively, you can visit photobucket.com/mobile and take it from there.

Initially, the application is available for 13 handsets and in order to use it and upload unlimited photos from your mobile, prepare to add $2.99 on top of your monthly bill.
