A multimedia message can contain text, picture and sound. Your phone can
receive but not send multimedia messages that contain sound. The phone
supports multimedia messages that are up to 45 KB in size. If the maximum size is
exceeded, the phone may not be able to receive the message. Depending on the
network, you may receive a text message that includes an Internet address where
you can view the multimedia message.

If the message contains a picture, the phone scales it down to fit the display area.

Note: If

Allow multimedia reception

is set to

Yes

or

In home network

, your

operator or service provider may charge you for every message you receive.

Multimedia messaging supports the following formats:

• Picture: JPEG, GIF, PNG, and BMP.

• Sound: MIDI, Scalable Polyphonic MIDI (SP-MIDI), monophonic ringing tones

(RGN) and WB-AMR.

If a received message contains any unsupported elements, they may be replaced
with the file name and the text

Object format not supported

.

Note that you are not able to receive any multimedia messages if you have a call
in progress, a game or another Java application running, or an active WAP
connection over GSM data (see

Keying in the service settings manually

on page

126

). Because delivery of multimedia messages can fail for a variety of reasons, do

not rely solely upon them for essential communications.

The multimedia message function uses shared memory, see
