■ Picture and Video Messages
Picture and video messages are multimedia messages that can contain
text, sound, a picture, and a video clip. Your network service provider
allows you to send and receive picture and video messages up to 500 KB.
Depending upon your network services, you may receive a message
that includes an internet address where you can view the picture and
video messages.

Pictures are scaled to fit the display area. Your phone has a picture and
video message viewer for playing messages. Incoming messages reside
in the inbox until the user deletes or saves them (when Auto Erase
Inbox is set to off, see "Message Settings," p. 43). Once you save the
picture and video message, you can use the image as wallpaper or the
sound as a ringtone, unless the content is protected by copyright.
See "Picture & Video," p. 31.
Note: Only compatible devices that offer picture or video
message features can receive and display picture and video
messages. The appearance of picture and video messages
may vary depending on the receiving device.
Copyright protection may prevent some images, music, and other content
from being copied, modified, or transferred.
Contact Verizon Wireless for availability of, and a subscription to, the
multimedia messaging service (MMS). Your phone supports the following
file formats:
•
Picture: JPEG, GIF, animated GIF, BMP, WBMP, and PNG
•
Sound: QCELP, EVRC, AMR, MIDI, MP3, and AAC
•
Video: MPEG-4
If you are making a call, or browsing the internet, or you have other
applications running, you can receive multimedia message notifications,
but not the actual message. The delivery of multimedia messages can
fail for a number of reasons, so do not rely solely upon them for
essential communications.
Important: Exercise caution when opening messages. Multimedia
message objects may contain malicious software or otherwise
be harmful to your phone.
