■ Multimedia messages
Note: Only devices that have compatible multimedia message or e-mail
features can receive and display multimedia messages. The appearance of
a message may vary depending on the receiving device.
A multimedia message can contain text, sound, a picture, a calendar note, a
business card, or a video clip. If the message is too large, the phone may not be
able to receive it. Some networks allow text messages that include an Internet
address where you can view the multimedia message.
Multimedia messaging (network service) supports the following formats:
•
Picture: JPEG, GIF, animated GIF, and WBMP
•
Sound: AMR and 13K audio
•
Video clips: 3GPP and 3GPP2 formats or MPEG video and AMR audio or 13K
audio
The phone may not support all variations of the file formats.
You cannot receive multimedia messages during a call, a game, another Java
application, or an active browsing session over GSM data (for example, when the
phone is used as a modem to access the internet). Because delivery of multimedia
messages can fail for various reasons, do not rely solely upon them for essential
communications.

The wireless network may limit the size of multimedia messages. If the inserted
picture exceeds this limit, the device may make it smaller so that it can be sent by
MMS.
To set the settings for multimedia messaging, see ”Multimedia,” p. 45. To check
availability and to subscribe to the multimedia messaging service, contact your
service provider.

Note: When the phone is sending the message, the animated
is
shown. Actual receipt of a message depends on a number of factors. For
more details about messaging services, check with your service
provider.
It takes more time to send a multimedia message than to send a text message.
While the message is being sent, you can use other functions on the phone. If an
interruption occurs while the message is being sent, the phone tries to resend the
message a few times. If these attempts fail, the message remains in the
Outbox
folder. You can try to resend it later.
To cancel the sending of the messages in the
Outbox
folder, scroll to the desired
message, and select
