There are two types of EMS objects...
...that is, the predefined objects and the user-defined objects.
The former are sent from one phone to another as a code that has been defined
by the EMS standard and only take up a very small amount of space within the
message itself and these objects are reproduced by the addressee’s phone
according to the interpretation that the manufacturer gives them.
The user-defined objects are not coded by the EMS standard and are therefore
sent complete. Result: they take up more space within the message, but on the
other hand, there is an accurate reproduction of the original vers ion on the
addressee’s phone.
