Text Msg.

Short message service (SMS) allows you to send and receive a short text
message to and from other GSM phones.
To send a text message by phone, you must obtain the number of the SMS
centre from your service provider.

Multimedia Msg.

Multimedia Message Service (MMS) is a messaging service similar to
Short Message Service (SMS). It provides asynchronous delivery of
personal multimedia messages.
In addition to the familiar text content of text messages, 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 your
service provider. Only phones that support the multimedia message feature
can receive or display the multimedia message.

E-mail

Before you can send, receive, retrieve, reply to, and forward e-mail to a
separate e-mail account, you must define your e-mail settings correctly.
