network services may not be available on all networks or you may have to make specific
arrangements with your service provider before you can utilize network services. Your
service provider may need to give you additional instructions for their use and explain what
charges will apply. Some networks may have limitations that affect how you can use
network services. For instance, some networks may not support all language-dependent
characters and services.
Your service provider may have requested that certain features be disabled or not activated
in your device. If so, they will not appear on your device menu. Your device may also have
been specially configured. This configuration may include changes in menu names, menu
order, and icons. Contact your service provider for more information.
