Text And Multimedia Messages - Nokia 5220b User Manual

Messaging

Text and multimedia messages

You can create a message and optionally attach, for example, a picture. Your phone
automatically changes a text message to a multimedia message when a file is attached.
Text messages
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 or other marks, and characters from some
language options, take up more space, and limit the number of characters that can be
sent in a single message.
An indicator at the top of the display shows the total number of characters left and the
number of messages needed for sending.
Before you can send any text or SMS e-mail messages, you must save your message
centre number. Select Menu > Messaging > Message settings > Text
messages > Message centres > Add centre, enter a name, and the number from
the service provider.
Multimedia messages
A multimedia message can contain text, pictures, and sound or video clips.
Only devices that have compatible features can receive and display multimedia
messages. The appearance of a message may vary depending on the receiving device.
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.
Important: Exercise caution when opening messages. Messages may contain
malicious software or otherwise be harmful to your device or PC.
For availability and subscription to the multimedia messaging service (MMS), contact
your service provider. You may also download the configuration settings. See "Nokia
support", p. 9.
