If you send a text message to one or more recipients, and the contact information of
one of the recipients is a mail address instead of a phone number, the text message
is converted to a multimedia message.
If the item you insert in a multimedia message is too large for the network, the device
may automatically reduce the size.
Only compatible devices can receive and show multimedia messages. Messages may
look different in different devices.
