Multimedia messages (MMS)

A multimedia message can contain text, sound, a picture, a calendar note, a
business card, or a video clip. The phone supports multimedia messages that are
up to 300 KB (some operators/networks may limit this to 100 KB) in size. If the
message is too large, 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.

Multimedia messaging supports the following formats:

• Picture: JPEG, GIF, WBMP, BMP, and PNG.

• Sound: MP3, AAC, Scalable polyphonic MIDI (SP-MIDI), AMR audio and

monophonic ringing tones.

• Video clips: 3GP format with QCIF and SubQCIF image size and AMR, WB AMR,

or ACC LC audio

The phone may not support all variations of the file formats.

You cannot receive multimedia messages during a call, a game, another Java
application, or an active browsing session over GSM data. Because delivery of
multimedia messages can fail for various reasons, do not rely solely upon them for
essential communications.
