• PICTURE MESSAGES

Note: This function can be used only if it is supported by your
network operator or service provider. Only phones that offer picture
message features can receive and display picture messages. This
feature uses shared memory. See “Shared memory” on page 12 for
more information.

Your phone comes with 10 preloaded pictures. You can, however, overwrite
any of the 10 pictures that come with your phone. Pictures can be attached
to a message and sent by way of text message to compatible phones.
Picture messages behave the same as text messages, but pictures take up
more space than text. Pictures are stored in the “Templates” folder under
Menu 01-1-6 (Messages > Text messages > Templates).

Note: You cannot send a picture message through e-mail.

Download pictures

Your phone can download pictures or receive them from compatible phones
to use in messages. You can also create pictures and send them to your
phone or other compatible phones using Nokia PC Suite. See “Nokia PC
Suite” on page 131 for more information.

Note: This function can be used only if it is supported by your
wireless provider. Only phones that offer picture message features
can receive and display picture messages.
