4. Messaging
Your phone can create and receive 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. 6, 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 you write messages, the number of characters used is displayed on the upper
right of the screen. Special (unicode) characters take more space than is indicated.
Before the message is sent, a prompt will indicate whether the message is over
the maximum length. Also, you can make distribution lists that contain phone
numbers and names from your contact list. See "Distribution lists," p. 33 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. 6, 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. Your phone
supports multimedia messages that are up to 300 KB. If the maximum size is
exceeded, the phone may not be able to receive the message.
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.
Only devices that have compatible features can receive and display multimedia
messages. The appearance of a message may vary depending on the receiving
device. 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 message.
Copyright protections may prevent some images, ringing tones, and other
content from being copied, modified, transferred, or forwarded.
Multimedia messaging supports the following formats:
•
Picture: JPEG, GIF, animated GIF, BMP, and PNG
•
Sound: MP3, eAAC+, SP-MIDI, AMR audio, QCELP, and monophonic
ringing tones
•
Video: clips in 3g2 or 3gp format in 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 multimedia message is moved to the
Outbox
for sending.
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 into
your device. This is not an indication that the message has been received
at the intended destination. For more details about messaging services,
