Messaging
30
Note: Only devices that have compatible features can receive and display
multimedia messages. The appearance of a message may vary depending
on the receiving device.
Depending upon 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 phone. Your phone has a multimedia message
viewer for playing messages and a multimedia inbox for storing saved messages.
Once you save the multimedia message, you can use the image as a screen saver
or the sound as a ringing tone.
Copyright protections may prevent some images, ringing tones, and other
content from being copied, modified, transferred, or forwarded.
Multimedia messaging only supports the following formats:
• Picture: JPEG, GIF, animated GIF, WBMP, BMP, and PNG
• Sound: MP3, eAAC+, SP-MIDI, AMR audio, QCELP, and monophonic
ringing tones
• Video: clips in H.264 format with QCIF image size
You cannot receive multimedia messages if you have a call in progress, games
or other applications running, or an active browsing session. Because delivery of
multimedia messages can fail for a variety of reasons, do not rely solely upon
them for essential communications.
