Notes • Please note that MMS is a charged service. In order to use MMS successfully, this has to be provisioned on your
mobile account. Please contact Verizon Wireless to have this provisioned as part of your calling plan.
• Please ensure the size of your MMS message is within the allowed limits when sending to another mobile phone
user or sending to an e-mail address.

When you send an MMS message, a notification (text message) will first be sent to the recipient, while your
MMS message will be temporarily stored on an MMS server of your wireless service provider. When others
send you an MMS message, similarly, the MMS message will be stored on the MMS server until you retrieve
it. Hence, your device must be configured with the location of the MMS server for you to be able to send and
receive MMS messages on your device.
When you purchase your XV6800, it is already preset with Verizon’s MMS server settings. If you accidentally
lost the preset settings or you changed to another wireless service provider, follow the steps below to
configure MMS settings.
To configure MMS settings
1. Tap Start > Messaging > MMS.
2. Tap Menu > MMS Configuration. The MMS Configuration screen appears.

choose to retrieve MMS messages immediately, accept or reject messages, request a delivery receipt,
specify a resolution for images you send, and more.
4. Tap the Servers tab and check if your device is preset with MMS server settings.
If there are no preset settings, tap New and enter the following information, which you can get from
your wireless service provider:
