See “Multimedia message,” p. 40.

A multimedia message can contain text, sound, pictures, video clips, a
business card, and a calendar note. 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 supports the following formats:

• Picture: .jpeg, .gif, animated .gif, .wbmp, .bmp, and .png

• Sound: scalable polyphonic MIDI (SP-MIDI), AMR audio, and

monophonic ringing tones

• Video clips: .3gp format with H.263 or MPEG video (QCIF resolution),

and WB or AMR 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. Because
delivery of multimedia messages can fail for various reasons, do not rely
solely upon them for essential communications.

Write a multimedia message

The wireless network may limit the size of MMS messages. If the inserted picture
exceeds this limit, the device may make it smaller so that it can be sent by MMS.

Send a multimedia message

Copyright protections may prevent some images, music (including ringing tones),
and other content from being copied, modified, transferred, or forwarded.

When you finish writing your message, to send the message, select

Send

, or press the call key. The phone saves the message in the

Outbox

folder, and the sending starts. If you select

Save sent messages

>

Yes

,

the sent message is saved in the

Sent

folder. See “General,” p. 39.

Note: When the phone sends the message, the animated

is shown.

This is an indication that the message has been sent by your device to
the message center number programmed into your device. This is not an
indication that the message has been received at the intended destination.
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.
