Multimedia messages
(Menu 5.2)
Multimedia Message Service (MMS) is a messaging
service very similar to Short Message Service
(SMS). It provides automatic and immediate
delivery of personal multimedia messages from
phone to phone or from phone to e-mail.
In addition to the familiar text content of text
messages, multimedia messages can contain
images, graphics, voice, and sounds. An MMS
message is a multimedia presentation in a single
entry. It is not a text file with attachments.
Using the MMS feature, your phone can receive
multimedia messages. You can also send
multimedia messages. This function is available
only if it is supported by your service provider. Only
phones that offer multimedia message features can
receive and display multimedia messages.
Note
: When you buy media content from the Internet,
this content is delivered to you in MMS
messages. You can retrieve the messages from
the server and then save the items in your
phone’s memory. You can’t forward these
messages to other people or add the saved
items to a MMS message.
Retrieving a new message
When you are retrieving a message, the Retrieving
icon (
) appears on the display. When you finish
retrieving a new message, the New message icon
(
) and a text notification showing the number of
the message appear on the display. You also hear
an alert, depending on the message sound setting;
for further details, see page 81.
