Multimedia Message Service (MMS) is a messaging 
service very similar to Short Message Service 
(SMS). It provides asynchronous delivery of 
personal multimedia messages from between 
phone and phone, phone and e-mail, phone and 
web(by URL).

In addition to the familiar text content of text 
messages, multimedia messages can contain 
images, graphics, voice and sounds. An MMS 
message is a multimedia presentation in a single 
entry. It is not a text file with attachments.

Using the MMS feature, your phone can receive 
multimedia messages. You can also send picture 
messages. This function is available only if it is 
supported by your service provider. Only phones 
that offer picture message features can receive and 
display picture messages.

When you are retrieving a message, the Retrieving 
icon (

) appears on the display. When you finish 

retrieving a new message, the New message icon 
(

) and a text notification showing the number of 

the message appear on the display. You also hear 
an alert, depending on the message sound setting; 
for further details, see page 103.

To read the new message in Idle Mode, press the 
View soft key. And then you see the list in the 
Inbox. If you select a message, you can read it.

When the memory is full, the New message icon
