4. Messages
If you have subscribed to a message network service, you can send and receive
messages to compatible phones also subscribed to a message service. You can also
send and receive picture, multimedia, and e-mail messages if supported by your
service provider. Also, you can make distribution lists that contain phone numbers
and names from your contacts list. See "Text entry," p. 20.
When composing text, picture, or multimedia messages, check the number of
characters allowed in the top right corner of the message. Using Unicode characters
takes up more space. With Unicode characters in your message, the indicator may
not show the message length correctly. Before sending the message, the phone 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 you send a message, your device may display
Message sent
,
indicating your device has sent the message 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 (MMS) can contain text, sound, a picture, and a video clip.
Your device supports multimedia messages up to 300 KB. With the maximum size
exceeded, the device may not be able to receive the message. Depending on 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 folder for storing saved messages. When 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.
M e s s a g e s
29
The appearance of a multimedia message may vary depending on the receiving device.
Important: Exercise caution when opening messages. Messages may
contain viruses 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 is
only available if 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 unsure of the trustworthiness of the sender.
Multimedia messaging supports the following formats:
•
Picture: JPEG, GIF, animated GIF, WBMP, BMP, and PNG
•
Sound: SP-MIDI, AAC, AMR audio, QCELP, and monophonic ringing tones
•
Video: clips in H.263 format with SubQCIF image size and AMR audio
If a received message contains unsupported elements, these elements may be
replaced with
Object format not supported
.
You can receive MMS notifications at anytime; whether you can retrieve MMS
depends, as shown in the following:
•
While in a call or an active browsing session, you cannot retrieve
multimedia messages.
•
While in a standalone application such as a game or calendar instead of a

Automate voice mail
You can insert special characters called dialing codes into phone numbers such

instruct the receiving system to pause, wait, bypass, or accept the numbers that
follow them in the dialing string. See "Phone numbers with dialing codes," p. 34.
Voice mail services vary by wireless service provider. The following instructions
are examples of common operations. Please check with your wireless service
provider for specific instructions on using your voice mail service.

the following:
Dial 8585551212, pause 5 seconds, press 1, pause 2 seconds, press 1234,
and press #.
Phone numbers with dialing codes
Dialing codes instruct the receiving system to pause, wait, bypass, or accept
the numbers that follow them in the dialing string. To set up dialing codes,
do the following:
1. In the standby mode, select
Menu
>
Contacts
>
1-touch dialing
.
2. Scroll to an
(empty)
1-touch dialing slot, and select
Assign
.
3. Enter your mailbox phone number, including the area code.
4. Enter any dialing codes as necessary after the entered phone number.
For example, if you pause for 5 seconds after connecting to voice mail, enter p
twice (two times 2.5 seconds) after the voice mailbox number: 2145551212pp.
5. Enter any remaining pauses or other information that enables you to listen to
your messages, and select
OK
.
6. Enter a name (such as voice mail), and select
