That file does not contain an image, it is only 168 characters long 
which is far too small to have a useful photo in it. It seems to contain 
a pointer to a website where you can download the image from, but I 
don't know the format of the .n file so I'm unsure of the correct link. 
It will probably be a format specific to that particular cell provider 
and understood only by their phone software. It looks like the image is 
supposed to be visible at:

http://mmsc.gci.csky.us:6672/m1?4q4rdk4Z_/w4~u9Z4~~~4kc3KHRukT

But the server just returns a "file not found" error. Either I didn't 
figure out the link format correctly, or the image has now expired from 
the server.

Cheers,
