NOTE:
A multimedia message can contain text, one image, one video clip and one sound clip. The Nokia 7600 phone can send and receive multimedia messages of up to 100 kilobytes.

Multimedia messages cannot be received in GSM networks during a call. Because delivery of multimedia messages can fail for a variety of reasons, do not rely solely upon them for essential communications.

Sent and received multimedia messages use shared memory.

MMS can be used only if it is supported by your network operator or service provider. Only phones that offer compatible multimedia message features can receive and display multimedia messages.

If Allow multimedia reception is set to Yes or In home network, your operator or service provider may charge you for every message you receive.

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 to the recipient a text message that includes an Internet address where the multimedia message can be viewed (network service).
