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, sound and a picture. 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
122
). Because delivery of multimedia messages can fail for a variety of reasons, do
not rely solely upon them for essential communications.
