■ Multimedia messages
Note: Only devices that have compatible 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.
You cannot receive multimedia messages during a call 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 and send a multimedia message
The wireless network may limit the size of multimedia messages. If the inserted image
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. 38. To check
availability and to subscribe to the multimedia messaging service, contact your
service provider.
