About MMS messages
To send and receive MMS messages, your wireless service provider must set up your wireless service plan for MMS messaging.
You can send and receive media files such as .jpg, .gif, .wbmp, .midi, .vcf (vCard®), .ics (iCalendar), .avi, .mpg, or .mov files in MMS messages.
If you have more than one phone number associated with your BlackBerry® device, your device sends MMS messages using the first phone
number that appears in the drop-down list beside the My Number field at the top of the screen in the phone application.
