SMS/MMS
You can use your phone to send
and receive text messages and
MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service)
messages.
Information about SMS
You can use your phone to transmit and
receive very long messages
(up to 760 characters). They are auto-
matically composed of several "normal"
SMS messages (note higher charges).
Using special letters in some languages
reduces the maximum possible length of
an SMS. If you do not wish to use these
letters, please change the input language
in the options menu.
Information about MMS
The Multimedia Messaging Service ena-
bles you to send texts, pictures/ videos
and sounds in a combined message to
another mobile phone or to an e-mail
address. All elements of an MMS mes-
sage are merged to form a "slide show".
Depending on your phone's settings,
you will receive either the complete
message automatically or notification
that an MMS has been saved in the net-
work, giving sender and size details. You
may then download it to your phone to
read it.
Ask your service provider whether this
service is available. You may have to
register for this separately.
