40 SMS/MMS

SMS/MMS

You can use your phone to send and receive text messages and MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) messages.

Information about SMS

You can use your phone to transmit and receive very long messages (up to 760 characters). They are automatically composed of several "nor- mal" SMS messages (note higher charges). Additionally, you can insert pictures and sounds in an SMS.

Information about MMS

The Multimedia Messaging Service enables you to send texts, pic- tures/videos and sounds in a combined message to another mobile phone or to an e-mail address. All elements of an MMS message are merged to form a "slide show".

Depending on your phone's settings, you will receive either the complete message automatically or notification that an MMS has been saved in the network, giving sender and size details. You may then download it to your phone to read it.

Ask your service provider whether this service is available. You may have to register for this separately.
