Message Service (EMS), which enables you to attach simple pictures, melodies, and
animated images to your messages, and the Multimedia Message Service (MMS),
which enables you to include photographs, melodies, and animated images in your
messages. To use the EMS and MMS features, you must subscribe to your service
provider’s message service.

The Message icon (

When the memory is full, an error message displays and you cannot receive any new
messages. Use the Delete option in each message box to delete obsolete messages.
