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.

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.
