Learn to spell, it's "cellphone", not "sellphone". If you don't like
what they're selling, don't buy it.

Where is the file/photo/video that you're sending? If it's on your
local device, it will go out at whatever speed YOU are currently using.
If that's your CELLphone connected item, then it will go at your
CELLphone's speed, not your office broadband speed.

Wrong again. If you are viewing it on your CELLphone device, it will
take as long as your CELLphone network takes to pass the info on to
you. You're using your office system as a server. It's not the
server's speed that dictates how long it takes to retrieve and view
something, it's the speed of the client, which is whatever you're using
at the moment.
