the features and functionality associated with messaging.
Types of Messages
Your phone provides the following message types:
● Text Messages

The Short Message Service (SMS) lets you send and receive text messages to and from
other mobile phones or email addresses. To use this feature, you may need to subscribe to
your service provider’s message service.
The Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) lets you send and receive multimedia messages
(such as picture, video, and audio messages) to and from other mobile phones or email
addresses. To use this feature, you may need to subscribe to your service provider’s

Important! During the creation of a text message, adding an image, sound file, or video
clip automatically changes it from a text message (SMS) to a multimedia
message (MMS).
