Systems for sending postcards and other mail items from a mobile device such as a mobile phone, software applications for preparing and sending such items, and methods, for example, computer and network implemented methods of simplifying the sending of postcards. Using an application running on a mobile device or mobile phone, a user can prepare and send postcards or send other mail items through the mail to selected recipients. Mailing addresses are automatically obtained from an address book, for example, on the mobile device, and if a recipient's address is missing, an electronic message such as an e-mail or a text message can automatically be sent to the recipient requesting the mailing address. Once the address is received, the postcard is printed and mailed. Postcards can include an image or picture selected or taken by the user and a personal message from the user to the recipient. The user can be charged a reasonable fee per postcard sent and the mailing address can automatically be stored in the address book for later use. |
