Mobile messages
• MULTIMEDIA MESSAGES
This is a Network Service.
Only devices that offer compatible multimedia message or e-mail features
can receive and display multimedia messages. Multimedia message objects
may contain viruses or otherwise be harmful to your device or PC. Do not
open any attachment if you are not sure of the trustworthiness of the sender.
A multimedia message can contain text, images, and sounds. 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 wallpaper or the sound as a ringing tone.
This function can be used only if it is supported by your network operator or service
provider. Only devices that offer compatible multimedia message or e-mail features
can receive and display multimedia messages.
