SMS/MMS
You can use your phone to send and
receive text messages and MMS
(

messages.
Information about SMS
You can use your phone to transmit
and receive very long messages (up
to 760 characters). They are auto-
matically composed of several "nor-
mal" SMS messages (note higher
charges). Using special letters in
some languages reduces the maxi-
mum possible length of an SMS. If
you do not wish to use these letters,
please change the input language in
the options menu.
Information about MMS
The

S
ervice
enables you to send texts, pic-
tures/videos and sounds in a com-
bined message to another mobile
phone or to an e-mail address. All el-
ements of an MMS message are
merged to form a "slide show".
Depending on your phone's settings,
you will receive either the complete
message automatically or notifica-
tion that an MMS has been saved in
the network, giving sender and size
details. You may then download it to
your phone to read it.
Ask your service provider whether
this service is available. You may
have to register for this separately.
