What is the hukm on a man and woman who intend to be married communicating directly between the two of them, i.e (email, telephone or instant messenger)?

wa alaikumussalamu wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh
I was told once that it is permissible for a bro and sis who wish to get married and live very far away from each other that they could trade photos. Has anyone heard anything from the Scholars in this regard? In addition, has anyone heard any info regarding the ruling of marrying over the phone?

Fatawa Islamiyyah, Volume 5.
Q: Is marriage via telephone or by correspondence binding and accepted? Meaning that the father gives his daughter in marriage via the telephone or via a specific latter?
A: Marriage is not contracted via the telephone, nor by correspondence; rather, the husband and the (bride?s) guardian must attend, along with the witnesses ? and this cannot be completed via the telephone or by correspondence. Yes, it might be completed through correspondence, if the contractor appoints a proxy to contract it for him- if he is in another country. In these circumstances, it is required that the document appointing the proxy be an authorized document, as established by Islaamic Law.
Ibn ?Uthaimeen (rahimahullaah)
Q: Some of those seeking marriage request a picture of the young woman. Is this permissible?
A: It is not permissible for the suitor to be given a picture of the young woman, because of the dangers that includes. He might play around with this picture, and the picture does not give he true likeness of the one photographed. How many times does a person see a picture and it is far from the true likeness of the subject? Also, the picture might show the woman when she is beautified and wearing make up, more than she is natural, and so the husband is misled by her: if he sees her and she does not look as she did in the picture, he may refuse her. So there will be a negative reaction to his wife.
