Write and send messages
Before you can create a multimedia message or write an
e-mail, you must have the correct connection settings in
place. See ‘E-mail settings’, p. 73 and ‘E-mail’, p. 76.
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.

Note: Your device may indicate that your message
was sent to the message center number programmed
into your device. Your device may not indicate whether
the message is received at the intended destination. For
more details about messaging services, contact your
service provider.
Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond
the character limit for a single message. Longer messages
are sent as a series of two or more messages. Your service
provider may charge accordingly. Characters that use
accents or other marks, and characters from some
language options, take up more space, limiting 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 format or that exceed the size limit of the
wireless network in a multimedia message.
Tip! You can combine images, video, sound, and text
to a presentation and send it in a multimedia message.
