Types of Messages
Your phone provides the following message types:
• Text Messages
• Multimedia (Picture, Video, and Audio) Messages
• Email and Gmail Messages
• AT&T Messages
• ChatON
• Google+ Messages
• Hangouts
The Short Message Service (SMS) lets you send and receive
text messages to and from other mobile phones or email
addresses. To use this feature, you may need to subscribe to
your service provider’s message service.
The Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) lets you send and
receive multimedia messages (such as photo, video, audio
messages, and so on) to and from other mobile phones or
email addresses. To use this feature, you may need to
subscribe to your service provider’s multimedia message
service.
Important! When creating a message, adding an image, a
sound file, or a video clip to a text message
changes the message from a text message to a
multimedia message.
Messaging icons are displayed at the top of the screen and
indicate when messages are received. For more information,
refer to “Status Bar Icons” on page 27.
