Multimedia messages (MMS)
Note: This function can be used only if it is supported by your network operator or service provider. Only
phones that offer compatible multimedia message features can receive and display multimedia messages.
A multimedia message can contain text, sound and a picture or a video clip. The phone supports
multimedia messages that are up to 100 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.
The multimedia message function uses shared memory, see Shared memory on page 19.
Note: If

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, WBMP, BMP, and PNG.
• Sound: Scalable Polyphonic MIDI (SP-MIDI), AMR audio and monophonic ringing tones.

• Video clips in 3gp format with SubQCIF image size and AMR audio.
The phone does not necessarily support all variations of the aforementioned file formats. 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 browsing session over GSM data (see Keying in the
service settings manually on page 145). Because delivery of multimedia messages can fail for a variety
of reasons, do not rely solely upon them for essential communications.
