■ Receiving multimedia messages
The multimedia messaging service enables you to receive multimedia messages.
These messages can contain text, graphics and sound parts. The graphic part can
be saved for use as a screen saver, and the sound part can be saved for use as a
ringing tone.
You can store three Multimedia messages in the Multimedia inbox. Graphic parts
can be saved in the Pictures folder and sound parts in the ringing tone list. See
