• USE PICTURE MESSAGES

Your phone offers you 10 picture message templates under Messages >
Templates. You can use these templates to send pictures to your friends
and family.

You can also save new pictures in the Templates folder.

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.

About picture messages

Each picture message is made up of several text messages. Therefore,
sending 1 picture message may cost more than sending 1 text message.
Contact your service provider for pricing information.

Since pictures are saved in the phone’s memory, you cannot view
them if you use your SIM card with another phone.
