• MULTIMEDIA MESSAGES
Note: This feature uses shared memory. See “Shared memory” on
page 16 for more information.
A multimedia message can contain text, sound, and a picture. Your phone
supports multimedia messages that are up to 45 KB. If the maximum size
is exceeded, the phone may not be able to receive the message. Depending
upon your network, you may receive a message that includes an Internet
address where you can go to view the multimedia message. Pictures are
scaled to fit the display area of the phone. Your phone has a multimedia
message viewer for playing messages and a multimedia inbox for storing
saved messages. Once you save the multimedia message, you can use the
image as a screen saver or the sound as a ringing tone.
Note: This function can be used only if it is supported by your
service provider. For availability and a subscription to the multimedia
messaging service, contact your service provider. Only compatible
devices can receive and display multimedia messages.
Note: The default setting of the multimedia message service is on.
Multimedia messaging supports the following formats:
• Picture: JPEG, GIF, PNG, OTA-BMP, and WBMP
• Sound: SP-MIDI and monophonic ringing tones
Note: If a received message contains unsupported elements, they
may be replaced with the text Object format not supported.
