The SMS Service Center phone number is provided by your mobile phone service provider. Text messaging should function correctly after activating

your account. To verify the number used to change the SMS Service Center phone number, from the Start menu, tap Phone > Tools > Options >

Services > Voicemail and SMS > Get Settings.

Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS)

The Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) is a method of transmitting photographs or video clips, sound files, and short text messages over wireless networks.

When the phone radio is turned on for the first time, the GSM/GPRS Manager application detects the mobile phone service provider and automatically populates the MMS settings on the HP iPAQ. For more information on changing settings in the GSM/GPRS Manager, refer to Chapter 5, in the section “Modifying the GSM/GPRS Network Settings.”

Alternately, you can access some MMS settings by taping, from the Start menu, Messaging > Tools > MMS Settings. It is not recommended

to change the MMS settings provided by your mobile phone service provider unless they request the change.
