Types of Messages

Your phone provides the following message types:

The Short Message Service (SMS) lets you send and receive text messages to and from
other mobile phones or email addresses. To use this feature, you may need to subscribe to
your service provider's message service.

addresses. To use this feature, you may need to subscribe to your service provider's

Important! During the creation of a text message, adding an image, sound file, or video
clip automatically changes it from a text message (SMS) to a multimedia
message (MMS).
