A multimedia message can contain text, picture and sound. The phone supports
multimedia messages that are up to 45 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.
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, PNG, and BMP.
• Sound: Scalable Polyphonic MIDI (SP-MIDI) and monophonic ringing tones.
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
11 7). Because delivery of multimedia messages can fail for a variety of reasons, do
not rely solely upon them for essential communications.
Writing and sending a multimedia message
To set the settings for multimedia messaging, see Settings for multimedia

messaging service, contact your network operator or service provider.
