Messaging

Images are scaled to fit the display area of the phone. Your phone has a PIX message
viewer for playing messages. Incoming messages reside in the inbox until you
delete or save them. Once you save the PIX message, you can use the image as
wallpaper or use the sound as a ringtone. See "Get PIX," p. 21.
Only compatible devices that offer picture message features can receive and
display PIX messages. The appearance of PIX messages may vary depending
onthe receiving device.
Copyright protections may prevent some images, ringtones, and other content
from being copied, modified, transferred, or forwarded.
PIX messaging supports the following formats:
• Picture: JPEG, GIF, animated GIF, BMP, WBMP, and PNG
• Sound: MIDI, SP-MIDI, QCELP-13K, and EVRC
If a received message contains unsupported elements, these elements may be
replaced with an alert such as File format not supported.
You can receive multimedia message notification, but cannot receive multimedia
messages if you have a call in progress or other applications running or you are in
an active browsing session. Because delivery of multimedia messages can fail for
a variety of reasons, do not rely solely upon them for essential communications.
Important: Exercise caution when opening messages. Multimedia
message objects may contain malicious software or otherwise be
harmful to your phone.
