4. Messaging
Your phone is capable of creating and receiving text, multimedia, voice and
minibrowser messages. Check with your service provider to see what messaging
is available for you.
■ Text messages
Text messaging is a network service. See "Network services," p. 5 for more
information. If your wireless service provider supports this feature, you can
send and receive text messages to compatible phones that are also subscribed
to the service.
When composing text messages, check the number of characters allowed in the
top right corner of the message. Using special (unicode) characters takes up more
space. If there are special characters in your message, the indicator may not show
the message length correctly. Before the message is sent, the phone will tell you
if the message exceeds the maximum length allowed for one message. Also, you
can make distribution lists that contain phone numbers and names from your
contact list. See "Distribution lists," p. 37 for more information.
Note: When sending messages, your device may display
Message sent
.
This is an indication that the message has been sent by your device to the
message center number programmed into your device. This is not an
indication that the message has been received at the intended destination.
For more details about messaging services, check with your service provider.

■ Multimedia messages
Multimedia messaging is a network service. See "Network services," p. 5 for more
information. If your wireless service provider supports this feature, you can send
and receive multimedia messages to compatible phones that are also subscribed
to the service.
A multimedia message can contain text, sound, a picture, or a video clip. Your phone
supports multimedia messages that are up to 600 KB. If the maximum size is
exceeded, the phone may not be able to receive the message.
M e s s a g i n g
30
Note: Only devices that have compatible features can receive and display
multimedia messages. The appearance of a message may vary depending
on the receiving device.
Depending upon your network, you may receive a message that includes an
Internet address where you can go to view the multimedia message. Pictures are
scaled to fit the display area of the phone. Your phone has a multimedia message
viewer for playing messages and a multimedia inbox for storing saved messages.
Once you save the multimedia message, you can use the image as a screen saver
or the sound as a ringing tone.
Copyright protections may prevent some images, ringing tones, and other
content from being copied, modified, transferred, or forwarded.
Multimedia messaging only supports the following formats:
•
Picture: JPEG, GIF, animated GIF, WBMP, BMP, and PNG
•
Sound: MP3, eAAC+, SP-MIDI, AMR audio, QCELP, and monophonic
ringing tones
•
Video: clips in H.264 format with QCIF image size
You cannot receive multimedia messages if you have a call in progress, games
or other applications running, or an active browsing session. Because delivery of
multimedia messages can fail for a variety of reasons, do not rely solely upon
them for essential communications.

The wireless network may limit the size of multimedia messages. If the inserted
picture exceeds this limit, the device may make it smaller so that it can be sent by
multimedia messaging.
It takes more time to send a multimedia message than to send a text message.
While the multimedia message is being sent, the animated indicator
is
displayed and you can use other functions on the phone. If there is an interruption
while the message is being sent, the phone automatically tries to resend it a few
times. If this fails, the message remains in the
Outbox
and you can try to manually
resend it later. Check your
Outbox
for unsent messages.
Note: When sending messages, your device may display the words
Multimedia message sent
. This is an indication that the message has
been sent by your device to the message center number programmed
