Multimedia messaging supports the following formats:
• Picture: JPEG, GIF, PNG, OTA-BMP, and WBMP
• Sound: SP-MIDI and monophonic ringing tones
You are not able to receive any multimedia messages if you have a call in progress,
a game or a Java application running, or an active service connection. Because
delivery of multimedia messages can fail for a variety of reasons, do not rely solely
upon them for essential communications.
