4. Messages
If you have subscribed to a message network service, you can send
and receive messages to compatible phones that also subscribe to a message service.
If supported by your service provider, you can also send and receive multimedia
messages, and e-mail. See "Text entry," p. 21.
When composing text messages, picture messages, or multimedia messages, the
number of characters allowed appears in the top right corner of the message.
The use of special (Unicode) characters takes up more space. If there are special
characters in your message, the indicator may not show the message length
correctly. Before the message is sent, the device tells you if the message exceeds
the maximum length allowed for one message.
Important: Exercise caution opening messages. Messages may contain
malicious software or otherwise be harmful to your device or PC.
Note: When sending messages, your device may display
Message sent
.
This is an indication that the message has been sent by your device to the
message center number programmed into your device. This is not an
indication that the message has been received at the intended destination.
For more details about messaging services, check with your service provider.

■ Multimedia messages
A multimedia message can contain text, sound, a picture, and a video clip. Your
device supports multimedia messages that are up to 300 KB. If the maximum size
is exceeded, the device may not be able to receive the message. Depending upon
your network, you may receive a message that includes an Internet address where
you can go to view the multimedia message. Pictures are scaled to fit the display
area of the device. Your device has a multimedia message viewer for playing
messages and a multimedia inbox where incoming messages reside untilthe user
deletes or saves them. Once you save the multimedia message, you can use the
image as a screen saver or the sound as a ringing tone unless protected by copyright.
The appearance of a multimedia message may vary depending on the
receiving device.
Important: Exercise caution opening messages. Messages may contain
malicious software or otherwise be harmful to your device or PC.
Copyright protections may prevent some images, ringing tones, and other content
from being copied, modified, transferred, or forwarded. This function can be used
only if it is supported by your service provider or network operator. For availability
and a subscription to the multimedia messaging service, contact your service
provider or network operator.
Note: Only devices that offer compatible multimedia message features
can receive and display multimedia messages. Multimedia message
objects may contain viruses or otherwise be harmful to your device or PC.
Do not open any attachment if you are not sure of the trustworthiness of
the sender.
Multimedia messaging supports the following formats:
•
Picture: JPEG, GIF, animated GIF, WBMP, BMP, and PNG
•
Sound: SP-MIDI, AMR audio, QCELP, EVRC, and monophonic ringing tones
•
Video: clips in H.264 (Profile 0, level 10) format with MPEG-4 (SVPO), 3GPP,
3GPP2, with AMR audio
If a received message contains unsupported elements, these elements may be
replaced with the text
Object format not supported
.
You can receive a multimedia message notification but you cannot receive
multimedia messages if you have a call in progress, games or other applications
running, or an active browsing session. Because delivery of multimedia messages
can fail for a variety of reasons, do not rely solely upon them for essential
communications.

■ Voice messages
If you subscribe to voice mail, your wireless provider will furnish you with a voice
mailbox number. You need to save this number to your device to use voice mail.
When you receive a voice message, your device lets you know by beeping,

the receiving system to pause, wait, bypass, or accept the numbers that follow them
in the dialing string. See "Setup phone numbers with dialing codes," p. 38.
Voice mail services vary by service provider. The following instructions are examples
of common operations. Please check with your service provider for specific
instructions on using your voice mail service.

1. Write down your voice mailbox number.
2. Call and check your voice mail as you normally would.
3. Write down your interaction with the recorded prompts step-by-step.
