NOTES FOR SENDING A MULTIMEDIA MESSAGE
•
It may take more time to send a multimedia message than a text
message.
During sending, the animated
indicator is displayed and you can
use other functions of the phone.
If the sending is interrupted, the phone tries to resend the message a
few times. If the sending fails, the message remains in the
Outbox
folder where you can try to resend it later.

If you send a multimedia message to a phone which does not support
multimedia messaging, the network may send a text message to the
recipient that includes an Internet address where the multimedia
message can be viewed (network service).

indicator is displayed. When the message has been received, the
