■ 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.
Write and send
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. 31. To check
availability and to subscribe to the multimedia messaging service, contact your
service provider.
