multimedia messages can contain images, graphics, and/or
sound.
An MMS message is a separate multimedia presentation in
a single entry, not an attachment to the text file.
Using the MMS feature, your phone can receive a
multimedia message and/or send a picture message,
depending on MMS availability from Cingular. Only phones
that support the multimedia message feature can receive or
display the multimedia messages.
Receiving a new message
When you receive a new message, the popup dialog box
displays the number of unread messages and the number
of total messages with the New Message icon ( ) in the
icon area of the display. You also hear an alert, depending
on the message sound setting.
To read the new message(s) immediately, press the [Read]
Soft key or push in on joystick.
Managing memory
The Inbox, Outbox, Drafts, Sent, and Templates share a
given amount of memory on the phone. In the Inbox, text
messages (SMS) can be saved on the phone or the SIM,
depending on the Text Message settings. When Save to
command Text Message settings is set to SIM, received
messages are saved in the phone memory if the SIM
capacity is full. Also, even if Save to in the Text Message
settings is set to Phone, received messages are saved
in the SIM if the memory capacity is full. When using the
Inbox, up to 50 received messages can be saved to the
phone memory. Up to 30 entries can be saved in the other
mailboxes. The Inbox can use the SIM memory. Only the
Inbox can use the SIM memory to store text messages
(SMS). When you try to save more than 50 messages in the
Inbox, a full icon ( ) appears. When the message-full icon
displays, you cannot receive any new messages, and the
notification “Inbox Full” appears on the display. You must
delete one or more of the old messages in order to make
memory available for the new messages. Use the [Delete]
option within the each mailbox, or use the [Delete All] option
to delete all the messages.
