■Multimedia messages
Multimedia messaging is a network service. See "Network services,", p.5 for more
information. If your wireless service provider supports this feature, you cansend
and receive multimedia messages to compatible phones that are also subscribed
to the service.
A multimedia message can contain text, sound, a picture, or a video clip. Your phone
supports multimedia messages that are up to 300KB. If the maximum size is
exceeded, the phone may not be able to receive the message.
Note: Only devices that have compatible fe atures can receive and dis play
multimedia messages. The appearance of a message may vary depending
on the receiving device. The wireless network may limit the size of
multimedia messages. If the inserted picture exceeds this limit, the
device may make it smaller so that it can be sent by multimedia message.
Depending on your network, you may receive a message that includes an Internet
address where you can 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. After you
save the multimedia message, you can use the image as a screen saver or the
sound as a ringing tone.
Copyright protections may prevent some images, ringing tones, and o ther content
from being copied, modified, transferred, or forwarded. For av ailability and a
subscription to the multimedia messaging service, contact your service provider
or network operator.
Multimedia messaging only supports the following formats:
• Picture: JPEG, GIF, animated GIF, WBMP, BMP, and PNG
• Sound: SP-MIDI, AAC, AMR audio, QCELP, and monophonic and polyphonic
ringing tones
• Video: clips in H.264 or MPEG4 format with SubQCIF image size and AMR
orQCELP audio
You cannot receive multimedia messages if you have a call in progress, games
orother applications running, or an active browsing session. Because delivery
ofmultimedia messag es can fail for a variety of reasons, do not rely solely upon
them for essential communications.
