■ Multimedia messages
Note: This function can be used only if it is supported by your network operator or
service provider. Only phones that offer multimedia message features can receive
and display multimedia messages.
A multimedia message can contain text, picture and sound. Note that your phone
does not support polyphonic ringing tones and your phone cannot play them. The
phone supports multimedia messages of size up to 45KB. If that maximum size is
exceeded, the phone may not be able to receive the message. Depending on the
network, you may receive a text message including an Internet address where you
can view the multimedia message.
If the message contains pictures, the phone scales them down to fit the display
area.
Note: If Allow multimedia reception is set to Yes or Home network, your operator or
service provider may charge you for every message you receive.
Multimedia messaging supports the following formats:
• Picture: JPEG, GIF, PNG, and BMP.
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 WAP
connection over GSM data (see Keying in the service settings manually on page
79). Because delivery of multimedia messages can fail for a variety of reasons, do
not rely solely upon them for essential communications.
