Multimedia messages
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, one image, sound clip, video clip or a
slide. 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 on the PC.
If the message contains an image, the phone scales it down to fit the display area.
The multimedia function uses shared memory, see

Multimedia messaging supports the following formats:
• Image: JPEG, GIF, WBMP, BMP, PNG and OTA-BMP
• Sound: Scalable Polyphonic MIDI (SP-MIDI), AMR audio and monophonic
ringing tones
• Video clips in H.263 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 cannot 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
155
).
Because delivery of multimedia messages can fail for a variety of reasons, do not
rely solely upon them for essential communications.
