Verizon Wireless announced that it has joined the Fujifilm Get the Picture Online Service Network, one of the largest online retail print service networks in the photofinishing industry. The relationship with Fujifilm U.S.A. will allow Verizon Wireless customers to print digital camera phone and digital camera pictures directly from Verizon's picture sharing website, Pix Place, to any participating retail photofinisher. The Get the Picture Online Service Network contains more than 10,000 retail locations for camera phone and digital camera photo printing, including Walgreens, Longs Drugs, Ritz Camera and Sam's Club.

"The quality of digital camera phones has dramatically increased over the past year. By partnering with wireless carriers like Verizon Wireless, we're enabling consumers to capture, and print their memories wherever they are," said John Prendergast, vice president, Product and System Development, Photo Imaging Division, Fujifilm U.S.A. "We're also enabling our retail photofinishing customers to benefit from the increasing demand for digital camera phone prints."

Verizon Wireless customers can manage and print their photos online on the Pix Place website. After uploading pictures with their camera phone or PC, Verizon Wireless customers simply select Order Prints from Pix Place and search by zip code for their nearest participating retail locations and order their prints for pick-up at one of more than 10,000 locations from coast to coast. Alternatively, customers may choose to have the pictures delivered to their homes.

Pix Place is an online service that allows Verizon Wireless customers to store and share their favorite picture and video messages. At the Pix Place website users can create online photo albums, compose picture and video messages online, enhance pictures with effects and, now, print pictures.
