You can transmit and receive long
messages (up to 760 characters) on
your phone. They are automatically
divided into concatenated SMS mes-
sages (note higher charges).
About MMS
The
M
ultimedia
M
essage
S
ervice
(MMS) enables you to send texts,
pictures/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 into 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
need to register for this service
separately.
