Important: Exercise caution when opening
messages. Messages may contain malicious software or
otherwise be harmful to your device or PC.
Before you can create a multimedia message or write an
e-mail, you must have the correct connection settings in
place.
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.
Check the size limit of e-mail messages with your service
provider. If you attempt to send an e-mail message that
exceeds the size limit of the e-mail server, the message is
left in the Outbox folder, and the device attempts to resend
it periodically. Sending an e-mail requires a data
connection, and continuous attempts to resend the e-mail
may increase your data transfer costs. In the Outbox folder,
you can delete such a message, or move it to the Drafts
folder.

Your device supports text messages beyond the limit for a

messages. Your service provider may charge accordingly.
Characters with accents, other marks, or some language
options take more space, and limit the number of
characters that can be sent in a single message.
You may not be able to send video clips that are saved in
the MP4 file format or that exceed the size limit of the
wireless network in a multimedia message.
