sure it's legal, you are free to not contract with them.
The reason is it helps them report back quicker to their clients. I have yet to see a cell phone take better photos than a digital camera. The flash on the phone is nowhere near as good at a Kodak. You're better off getting an android tablet and transferring your photos from your camera to there. I have the HTC thunderbolt and iPhone 4s. Both have great cameras for cell phones but can't compete with a camera.MHR said:As of 12-1-11 they require smartphone use with their proprietary uploader app. Can they do this? Is this within legal parameters of a contractor / subcontractor arrangement? Can anyone site any pertinent legal documentation re: this? Sounds like a load of crap to me. If it is legal (are we living in russia?), looks like I'll again be parting ways with this piece of work MFS co.
Sorry if this has already been addressed.
Well said but my tablet only has 5mb front and rear camera.I take the pics with the digitial camera and then upload them to my tablet and off they go.I do have a smart phone but am not so good at using it.thanohano44 said:The reason is it helps them report back quicker to their clients.

A android tablet will do just fine. No 2 year contract required. Just transfer your photos from your camera via Bluetooth or FireWire to the tablet. Those droid tablets run about the same as a digital camera.ARpreservation said:Ive already told them Im not able to use my phone due to service issues. Several things they didnt consider:
If my service isnt good till i get home why not just use a camera and upload at home like I always do.
Battery life on a smart phone is crap. Now put that in 10 degree temps and I guarentee the battery wont last an hour on an initial with all the pics taken for jani, wint, and debris.
How about durability?? I blew through 3 cameras in 2 yrs. I now use a freeze proof, shock proof, waterproof, dust proof fuji with a non mechanical zoom and its lasted 2yrs so far.
Photo/flash quality??!!
If its not going to save me time, and be more of a headache, why would I use it?
Just saying.....
Android has an app that uploads your photos from site for FAS. Here's the problem. Nobody has unlimited data. You'll be paying out of your azz!!! You need to find someone who wants out of their contract with unlimited data. I suggest AT&T or Verizon. FAS should've put you in touch with a local Verizon or At&t business sales rep. If not, pm me and I will set you up with my people.d+jhomeservices said:im gonna be new to using phone for pics,sowhats difference between using digital or phone then send them once your back at office???

Verizon is unlimited if you've had a contract before the switch. All my pics are upload thru my phones, thousands a month.Paradox said:http://gigaom.com/broadband/another-unlimited-mobile-data-plan-bites-the-dust/
Don't use a smartphone for picture uploading if at all possible (this isn't referring to taking pictures on phone and transferring them via USB to computer). You will quickly rack up GB of usage, and there really is no such thing as an unlimited data plan.

BPWY said:Yeah there isn't unlimited any more.
I HAD unlimited on my air card because I was a customer way back when........ they went and changed it to a 5 gig cap without even asking me.
No grandfathered in or any thing of that sort.
