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.

Note: The message sent icon or text on your device screen does not indicate that
the message is received at the intended destination.
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, 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.
