Character support: allows you to select a character
encoding type, either GSM-alphabet, Uni-code,
or Automatic.
If you select Automatic, the phone automatically
changes the encoding type from GSM-alphabet to
Uni-code when you enter a Uni-code character.
When you select Uni-code, the maximum number
of characters which can be in a message is reduced
to approximately half in length. If your recipient's
phone does not support Uni-code characters, he/
she may not be able to read your message
correctly. For details about Uni-code characters, see
page 188.
Note: If your phone doesn't have the Character
support menu, the phone provides the
Automatic character encoding by default.
Multimedia messages
(Menu 5.2)
Multimedia Message Service (MMS) is a service
providing delivery of personal multimedia messages
from phone to phone or from phone to e-mail. In
addition to the familiar text content, multimedia
messages can contain images, video
clips, and combinations of these things. Images
could include downloads and photos you have
taken, while audio clips could be downloaded or
recorded sounds, or voice memos. Using MMS, your
phone can send and receive these multimedia
messages.
This function is available only if it is supported by
your service provider. Only phones that offer
multimedia messaging features can receive and
display multimedia messages.
