See “Multimedia message,” p. 40.
A multimedia message can contain text, sound, pictures, video clips, a
business card, and a calendar note. If the message is too large, the phone
may not be able to receive it. Some networks allow text messages that
include an Internet address where you can view the multimedia message.
Multimedia messaging supports the following formats:
• Picture: .jpeg, .gif, animated .gif, .wbmp, .bmp, and .png
• Sound: scalable polyphonic MIDI (SP-MIDI), AMR audio, and
monophonic ringing tones
• Video clips: .3gp format with H.263 or MPEG video (QCIF resolution),
and WB or AMR audio
The phone may not support all variations of the file formats.
You cannot receive multimedia messages during a call, a game, another
Java application, or an active browsing session over GSM data. Because
delivery of multimedia messages can fail for various reasons, do not rely
solely upon them for essential communications.
Write a multimedia message
The wireless network may limit the size of MMS messages. If the inserted picture
exceeds this limit, the device may make it smaller so that it can be sent by MMS.
