Multimedia messages
Note: Only devices that offer compatible multimedia message or e-mail features can receive and display
multimedia messages.
Multimedia messaging is a network service. A multimedia message can contain text, sound, a picture, a calendar note, a
business card, or a video clip. If the message is larger than 100 KB in size, the phone may not be able to receive it. Some
networks allow text messages that include an Internet address where you can view the multimedia message.
The phone scales pictures down to fit the display area.
Multimedia messaging may support the following formats:
• Picture: JPEG, GIF, WBMP, BMP, OTA-BMP, and PNG
• Sound: scalable polyphonic MIDI (SP-MIDI), AMR audio, and monophonic ringing tones
• Video clip: 3GP format (H.263 baseline and MPEG-4 simple profile)
Note that the phone may not support all variations of the file formats. If you receive a message containing unsupported
elements, the message may replace the element with the file name and the text
Object format not supported .
You cannot receive multimedia messages during a call, a game, a Java application, or an active browsing session. Because
the delivery of multimedia messages can fail for various reasons, do not rely solely upon them for essential communications.
Writing and sending a multimedia message
The appearance of a multimedia message may vary depending on the receiving device.
