MMS message basics
About MMS messages
With an MMS phone number, you can send and receive MMS messages that contain media files such as .jpg, .gif, .wbmp, .midi, .vcf
(vCard®), or .ics (iCalendar) files. An MMS phone number is a phone number that your wireless service provider sets up for MMS messaging.
If you have more than one phone number associated with your BlackBerry® device, your device sends MMS messages using the first phone
number that appears in the drop-down list at the top of the phone screen.
You can add pictures that are not copyright protected to an MMS message, but the message cannot exceed 300 KB.
MMS prerequisites
• Verify that your BlackBerry® device supports MMS messaging.
• Verify that your wireless service plan includes this service.
Contact your system administrator or wireless service provider for more information.
