■ Multimedia messages
A multimedia message (MMS) can contain text, sound, a picture, and a video clip.
Your device supports multimedia messages up to 300 KB. With the maximum size
exceeded, the device may not be able to receive the message. Depending on your
network, you may receive a message that includes an Internet address where you
can go to view the multimedia message. Pictures are scaled to fit the display area
of the device. Your device has a multimedia message viewer for playing messages
and a multimedia folder for storing saved messages. When you save the multimedia
message, you can use the image as a screen saver or the sound as a ringing tone
unless protected by copyright.
The appearance of a multimedia message may vary depending on the
receiving device.
Important: Exercise caution when opening messages. Messages may
contain viruses or otherwise be harmful to your device or PC.
Copyright protections may prevent some images, ringing tones, and other content
from being copied, modified, transferred, or forwarded. This function is only
available if supported by your service provider or network operator. For availability
and a subscription to the multimedia messaging service, contact your service
provider or network operator.
Note: Only devices that offer compatible multimedia message features
can receive and display multimedia messages. Multimedia message
objects may contain viruses or otherwise be harmful to your device or PC.
Do not open any attachment if unsure of the sender’s trustworthiness.
Multimedia messaging supports the following formats:
• Picture: JPEG, GIF, animated GIF, WBMP, BMP, and PNG
• Sound: SP-MIDI, AAC, AMR audio, QCELP, and monophonic and polyphonic
ringing tones
• Video: clips in H.263 or MPEG4 format with SubQCIF image size and AMR or
QCELP audio
If a received message contains unsupported elements, these elements may be
replaced with Object format not supported.
You can receive MMS notifications at anytime; whether you can retrieve MMS
depends, as shown in the following:
• While in a call or an active browsing session, you cannot retrieve
multimedia messages.
• While in a stand-alone application such as a game or calendar instead of a
browser or voice call, you can retrieve multimedia messages.
