■ Multimedia messages
A multimedia message can contain text, sound, a picture, and a video clip. Your
device supports multimedia messages that are up to 300 KB. If the maximum size is
exceeded, your device 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 device. Your device has a multimedia message viewer for playing
messages. Incoming messages reside in the
Inbox
until the user deletes or saves
them. Once you save the multimedia message, you can use the image as a screen
saver or wallpaper, or the sound as a ringing tone unless protected by copyright.
The appearance of a multimedia message may vary depending on the receiving device.
Important: Exercise caution opening messages. Messages may contain
malicious software or otherwise be harmful to your device or PC.

Copyright protections may prevent some images, ringing tones, and other content
from being copied, modified, transferred, or forwarded. This function can be used
only if it is supported by your service provider or network operator. For availability
and a subscription to the multimedia messaging service, contact your service
provider or network operator.
Note: Only devices that offer compatible multimedia message features can
receive and display multimedia messages. Multimedia message objects may
contain viruses or otherwise be harmful to your device or PC. Do not open
any attachment if you are not sure of the trustworthiness of the sender.
Multimedia messaging supports the following formats:
•
Picture: JPEG, GIF, animated GIF, WBMP, BMP, and PNG
•
Sound: SP-MIDI, AMR audio, QCELP, EVRC, and monophonic ringer tones
•
Video: clips in H.264 (Profile 0, level 10) format with MPEG-4 (SVPO), 3GPP,
3GPP2, with AMR audio
If a received message contains unsupported elements, these elements may be
replaced with the text
Object format not supported
.
You can receive multimedia message notification, but cannot receive multimedia
messages if you have a call in progress or other applications running, or you are
in an active browsing session. Because delivery of multimedia messages can fail
for a variety of reasons, do not rely solely upon them for essential communications.

It takes more time to send a multimedia message than to send a text message.
While the multimedia message is being sent, the animated indicator
displays
and you can use other functions on the device. If there is an interruption while
the message is being sent, the device automatically tries to resend it a few times.
If this fails, the message remains in the
Outbox
folder and you can try to manually
resend it later. Check your
Outbox
folder for unsent messages.
Note: When sending messages, your device may display the words
Multimedia message sent
. This is an indication that the message has
been sent by your device to the message center number programmed
into your device. This is not an indication that the message has been
received at the intended destination. For more details about messaging
services, check with your service provider.
Messages that you have sent are saved in the
Sent items
folder if
Save sent messages

Yes
. See ’Other multimedia messages settings,’ p. 28.
