Multimedia messages
Note: This function can be
used only if it is supported
by your network operator or
service provider. Only
phones that offer
compatible multimedia
message features can
receive and display
multimedia messages.
A multimedia message can contain
text, sound and a picture or a video
clip. The phone supports multimedia
messages that are up to 100 kB in
size. If the maximum size is
exceeded, the phone may not be able
to receive the message. Depending
on the network, you may receive a
text message that includes an
Internet address where you can view
the multimedia message.
If the message contains a picture,
the phone scales it down to fit the
display area.
The multimedia message function
uses shared memory, see ”Shared
memory” on page xii.
Note: If Allow multimedia
reception is set to Yes or In
home network, your
operator or service provider
may charge you for every
message you receive.
Multimedia messaging supports the
following formats:
• Picture: JPEG, GIF, WBMP, BMP,
and PNG.
• Sound: Scalable Polyphonic MIDI
(SP-MIDI), AMR audio and
monophonic ringing tones.
• Video clips in H.263 format with
SubQCIF image size and AMR
audio.
The phone does not necessarily
support all variations of the
aforementioned file formats. If a
received message contains any
unsupported elements, they may be
replaced with the file name and the
text Object format not supported.
Note that you are not able to receive
any multimedia messages if you
have a call in progress, a game or
another Java application running, or
an active browsing session over GSM
data (see ”Keying in the service
settings manually” on page 86).
Because delivery of multimedia
messages can fail for a variety of
reasons, do not rely solely upon
them for essential communications.
