Multimedia
Messages
The Multimedia Messages Service (MMS)
is a service that allows the sending and re-
ceiving of messages to and from other
MMS enabled mobile phones. The main
difference between an SMS and an MMS is
that the MMS is components (one or sev-
eral pages made of text + image and/or
melody).
The protocol that is used to transfer the
multimedia messages is the Wap™ proto-
col; you therefore need a Data subscrip-
tion (see Wap™, page51) to send and
receive multimedia messages.
The sending and receiving of a Multimedia
message imply the launching of a connec-
tion via an MMS centre. Please contact
your service provider to get full informa-
tion on the subscription conditions.
The receiving of a Multimedia message im-
plies two steps:
• The receiving of a message notification
bearing (optionnally) the sender’s name,
the message subject and size and its
validity duration on the MMS centre.
• The retrieval of the corresponding mes-
sage from the network (on request).
Multimedia message(s) may already be
stored in your mobile at mobile first use.
This depends on your service provider.
Reading a received MMS
message
When the phone receives an MMS a new
alert tone sounds and or the New mes-
sage information is displayed.
If
flashes, it indicates the SIM or the
phone memory are full and cannot store
any other messages. Delete SMS or Multi-
media messages to allow new messages to
be delivered.
The notification and the retrieved message
are automatically stored in the Inbox.
The appearance and the good reception of Multimedia
message contents depend on the addressee mobile type.
