Section 5: Messaging This section describes how to send and receive different messages using the default Messaging app on your phone. Types of Messages Your default Messaging app provides the following message types: • Text Messages • Multimedia (Picture, Video, and Audio) Messages The Short Message Service (SMS) lets you send and receive text messages to and from other mobile phones or email addresses. To use this feature, you may need to subscribe to your service provider's message service. The Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) lets you send and receive multimedia messages (such as picture, video, and audio messages) to and from other mobile phones or email addresses. To use this feature, you may need to subscribe to your service provider's multimedia message service. Important! When creating a message, adding an image, a sound file, or a video clip to a text message changes the message from a text message to a multimedia message.
