OTA configuration

Users can easily get MMS into their phone. MMS supports OTA, meaning that the user does not have to configure the settings manually.

The configuration is done by the operator.

EMS (Enhanced Messaging Service)

Enhanced Messaging Service (EMS) adds new powerful functionality to the well-known SMS standard. With it, mobile phone users can add life to SMS text messaging in the form of pictures, ani- mations, sound and formatted text. This gives the users new ways to express feelings, moods and personality in SMS messages. In addition to mes-

saging, users will enjoy downloading, collecting, swapping, and editing pictures, ring signals, and other melodies.

EMS uses existing SMS infrastructure and industry standards, keeping investments to a minimum for operators. EMS provides a familiar user interface and compatibility with existing phones and other manufacturers.

EMS – more than just words

Sounds and melodies

EMS gives the user the ability to send and receive sounds. These can be pre-defined sounds or melo- dies (ring signals in the phone), downloaded from the Internet, received in SMS messages or com- posed by the user on the phone keypad or a PC. Note that MIDI ring signals cannot be exchanged via EMS.

Several sounds and melodies can be inserted in one message, and they can be combined with pic- tures.

Pictures, animations and formatted text

Phones supporting EMS include a set of pre- defined pictures for inserting in SMS messages. New pictures and animations are downloaded from the Internet or received in SMS messages. Several pictures can be inserted in one message, and they can be combined with sounds and melodies. The users can format text in messages with different styles and sizes.

Concatenated messages

A part of the EMS standard is the support for con- catenated messages, which means that the phone is able to automatically combine several messages both when creating and receiving EMS. This is use- ful to be able to build, and display, messages with rich content, since the amount of information in each SMS is limited by the SMS standards.
