Sony ericsson T230 Messaging Manual

What is MMS/Picture Messaging?

Picture Messaging, MMS (Multimedia Message Service), is an extension of SMS (Short Message Service) and allows you to send messages containing text, pictures and sounds to mobile phones and/or e-mail accounts. Take a picture with the camera, add some text and some appropriate sounds and send it to someone you want to share the moment with. Easy and fun!

What do I need to send a Picture Message/MMS?

• A phone that supports Picture Messaging, MMS, i.e. T226, T230, T610, T68i, T300, T310.

• Activate the service and correct phone settings through your service provider or by using the MMS configurator at

At www.sonyericsson.com/fun

you will find a lot of possibilities to explore and extend the ways of using MMS.

Here you will find the “MMS Web Studio”. The MMS Web Studio lets you create customized MMS messages online with sounds,

pictures and text.

It's a bit like a slideshow – you decide when, where and how your content will appear, then save your own messages in 'My MMS’, and use them again and again.

You will also find the MMS Home Studio. Download and install the software to your computer, then start creating MMS

messages on your own PC. You can download the MMS templates you have created to your phone.
