• TEXT MESSAGE COUNTER
The text message counter shows the number of sent and received text and picture messages.
Picture messages may consist of more than one message. You can view the recipient or
sender of the message, or view the details of the message.
In the standby mode, select Menu > Messages > Text messages > Message counter to
view Sent messages, Received messages, or to Clear counters.
• MULTIMEDIA MESSAGES
A multimedia message can contain text and one image, sound clip, video clip, or a slide. This
function can be used only if it is supported by your service provider. Only phones that offer
compatible multimedia message features can receive and display multimedia messages.
The phone supports multimedia messages that are up to 100 KB. If the message contains an
image, the phone scales the image to fit the display area. If the maximum size is exceeded,
the phone may not be able to receive the message. Some service providers send a text
message with a link or Internet address where you can view the multimedia message.
Note: If Allow multimedia reception is set to Yes or In home network, your
operator or service provider may charge you for each message you receive.
Multimedia messaging works with the following formats:
• Picture: JPEG, GIF, WBMP, BMP, PNG, and OTA-BMP
• 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 listed 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.
You cannot receive any multimedia messages if you have a call in progress, a game or
another Java application running, or if you have an active browsing session over GSM data.
Because delivery of multimedia messages can fail for a variety of reasons, do not rely solely
upon them for essential communications.
Your phone allows you to send and receive multimedia messages that contain several pages
or slides. To insert a slide into a message, select Menu > Messages > Multimedia msgs. >
Create message > Options > Insert > Slide. Each slide can contain text, one image, and
one sound clip. To move the text part to the top of the message, select Options > Text on
top. To move the text part to the bottom of the message, select Options > Text on bottom.
Copyright protections may prevent some images, ringing tones, or other content from being
copied, modified, transferred or forwarded.
