When an MMS message is received, your screen will read “Multimedia Message Received”
To view the message, select “Show”
The message will appear. If the message came from a PC, you may see a message stating that the
image is attached. You can view picture attachments sent via MMS, however, the image is not the
first thing you see when you open the message. You will need to scroll down in the message in
order to get to the image.
Saving an MMS Message
MMS messages will be temporarily saved in your inbox/outbox for up to 7 days. If you would like to save
an image longer, you will need to follow these directions to save an image or sound clip into your
gallery.
While the MMS message is open, select Options→Save Image→Select
You’ll be given the opportunity to name the image (If the image had a name when it was sent, this
name will default; however, a new name can be entered). Input the name you would like and select
“OK”
The “Gallery” menu will appear, and “Graphics” will be highlighted - press “Select”
Your Wireless Phone’s Camera Device
Your phone is equipped with a camera device that allows you to take pictures and send them to others through
e-mail or MMS (also known as “Picture Messaging”). It should be noted, however, that both the sender and the
receiver must have a Next Generation phone which is capable of receiving e-mail with attachments or MMS.
Note: Standard per message and data usage charges apply for e-mail and MMS containing photo attachments
that are sent, replied to, or forwarded (see the MMS section of this guide for more details). When receiving an
MMS or e-mail message, the recipient pays nothing additional; however, the data (kilobytes) used to transfer the
file will be deducted from the recipient’s monthly Wireless Internet data plan balance.
Using your camera
Your Motorola V400 camera device can be used to take, edit and add effects to pictures you take of others
– and even of yourself! Consult the “Camera” section of the Operating Instructions that came with your
phone for all the details on your fun options!
Note: Battery times are shorter when using the camera. To help conserve your battery, the phone
automatically exits the camera mode after 3 minutes if no activity is detected.
