Important: Exercise caution
when opening messages. Messages may
contain malicious software or
otherwise be harmful to your device or
PC.
Before you can create a multimedia
message or write an e-mail, you must
have the correct connection settings in
place.
The wireless network may limit the size
of MMS messages. If the inserted picture
exceeds this limit, the device may make
it smaller so that it can be sent by MMS.
Check the size limit of e-mail messages
with your service provider. If you
attempt to send an e-mail message that
exceeds the size limit of the e-mail
server, the message is left in the Outbox
folder, and the device attempts to
resend it periodically. Sending an e-mail
requires a data connection, and
continuous attempts to resend the e-
mail may increase your data transfer
costs. In the Outbox folder, you can
delete such a message, or move it to the
Drafts folder.

Note: The message sent icon or

Your device supports text messages
beyond the limit for a single message.
Longer messages are sent as two or
more messages. Your service provider
may charge accordingly. Characters
with accents, other marks, or some
language options take more space, and
limit the number of characters that can
be sent in a single message.
You may not be able to send video clips
that are saved in the MP4 file format or
that exceed the size limit of the wireless
network in a multimedia message.
