In addition to the familiar text content of text messages,

multimedia messages can contain images, graphics, and/or

sound.
An MMS message is a separate multimedia presentation in

a single entry, not an attachment to the text file.
Using the MMS feature, your phone can receive a

multimedia message and/or send a picture message,

depending on MMS availability from your service provider.
Only phones that support the multimedia message feature

can receive or display the multimedia messages.

Receiving a new message

When you receive a new message, the popup dialog box

displays the number of unread messages and the number

of total messages with the New Message icon ( ) in the

icon area of the internal and external displays.
You also hear an alert, depending on the message sound

setting.
To read the new message(s) immediately, press the [Read]

Soft key or the [

o] key.

Managing memory

The Inbox, Outbox, Drafts, Sent, and Templates share a

given amount of memory on the phone. In the Inbox, text

messages (SMS) can be saved on the phone or the SIM,

depending on the Text Message settings.
When Save to in the Text Message settings is set to SIM,

received messages are saved in the phone memory if

the SIM capacity is full. Also, even if Save to in the Text

Message settings is set to Phone, received messages are

saved in the SIM if the memory capacity is full.
When using the Inbox, up to 50 received messages can be

saved to the phone memory.
Up to 30 entries can be saved in the other mailboxes. The

Inbox can use the SIM memory.
Only the Inbox can use the SIM memory to store text

messages (SMS).
When you try to save more than 50 messages in the Inbox,

a full icon (

) appears.

When a full icon appears, you cannot receive any new

messages. When you open the phone, the notification

“Message full Please delete” appears on the display.
You must delete one or more of the old messages in order

to make memory available for the new messages.
