Where the heck is My Uploads on a Virgin Phone?

A bit off topic:

I wanted to upload some pictures from my cell phone with a Virgin Mobile pay as you go account and an option was to place the pictures into My Uploads. I could not find out where on the internet this place was.

After two hours of searching and finally resorting to calling customer support and being on hold for 20 minutes I got it:


The site states that:

"You will need a PXT password though. Just take a picture and send it to your online album or share it with a friend from your Virgin Mobile phone; once you do either, you'll be prompted to create your PXT password. After that, use that PXT password here to sign in."

However, I was not prompted for anything. Aggravating.

This combined with all of the missing links in the web site, difficult to find help information, and general vagueness makes me certain that I will not be signing up for a long term contract.


Update: I discovered the free BitPim utility which allows me to download pictures from my Samsung SPH-m300 using an inexpensive USB data cable I purchased from CellularPlasa on eBay for $4.
