Picture Messages
Multimedia Message Service (MMS) is a messaging service 
very similar to Short Message Service (SMS). It provides 
automatic and immediate delivery of personal multimedia 
messages from phone to phone or from phone to e-mail.
In addition to the familiar text content of text messages, 
multimedia messages can contain images, graphics, voice 
and audio clips. An MMS message is a multimedia  
presentation in a single entry. It is not a text file with 
attachments. Using the MMS feature, your phone can 
receive multimedia messages. You can also send picture 
messages, which are short messages that contain images, 
such as your photos or graphics you downloaded from the 
Internet. This function is available only if it is supported by 
your service provider. Only phones that offer picture 
message features can receive and display picture messages.
