EMS (Enhanced Messaging Service)
Enhanced Messaging Service (EMS) adds new powerful functionality to the well-known SMS
standard. With it, mobile phone users can add life to SMS text messaging in the form of pictures,
animations, sound and formatted text. This gives the users new ways to express feelings, moods
and personality in SMS messages. As well as messaging, users will enjoy collecting and
swapping pictures and ring signals and other melodies, downloading them from the Internet or
editing them directly on the phone.
EMS uses existing SMS infrastructure and industry standards, keeping investments to a minimum
for operators and providing a familiar user interface and compatibility with existing phones and
with other manufacturers.
EMS – more than just words
Sounds and melodies
EMS gives the user the ability to send and receive sounds. These can be pre-defined sounds,
such as “Chime high” and “Notify ”, or melodies (ring signals in the phone), downloaded from the
Internet, received in SMS messages or composed by the user on the phone keypad or a PC.
