Picture, Video or Voice Messages
Picture messages are multimedia messages that can contain text, pictures, slides, and sound clips. Video messages are multimedia messages that can contain text, video clips, and name cards. Voice messages are messages that can contain text and sound clips. Depending on your network services, you may receive a message that includes an internet address where you can view the picture messages.
Pictures are scaled to fit the display. Your device has a picture message viewer for playing messages. Incoming messages remain in the Inbox folder until you delete them (when Auto Erase Inbox is deactivated, see "Message Settings," p. 28). When you save the picture message, you can use the image as wallpaper or use the sound as a ringtone, unless the content is protected by copyright.
For availability and subscription to the picture, video, or voice messaging service, contact Verizon Wireless.
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.
Important: Exercise caution when opening messages. Messages may contain malicious software or otherwise be harmful to your device.
