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 phone bill. 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 or
other marks, and characters from some language
options, take up 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.
