Multimedia messages (MMS)
Note: Only devices 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 in compatible format, the phone may scale it
down to fit the display area.
