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. The phone supports
multimedia messages of size up to 45 kB. If that maximum size is exceeded, the
phone may not be able to receive or send 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 a picture, the phone scales them 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 the 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

not rely solely upon them for essential communications.
