Hi it could be telling you that your message memory is low so try deleting some inbox/outbox/drafts and sent messages, it could also be a media message so check if your phone is receiving these as your settings could be wrong if you have not sent or received media messages such as pictures then it could be one of those but your settings are wrong call your service provider and they will send the settings for free
My wouldn't either. I went in to "Menu"- "Messaging"-"Message Settings"- "Multimedia Messaging"- "MMS Profiles". I had 3 choices on the next screen... Since I use AT&T I checked 'AT&T MMS" My other choices were "media Net and AT&T IMS" Media net was checked but after I changed it to "AT&T MMS" I was able to start sending pictures and videos.
Hope this helps.

You need to use the supplied Sansa Media Converter program to convert and transfer photos (and videos). If you don't have the SMC, you can download the Windows version from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3IPZO6Q0
It is doing this because most carriers only support 140-160 characters per sms message. Once you are over your carriers limit per message the phone is made to change it from an sms to an mms message. Naturally when you send media it goes through mms so that is the default symbol for mms on your phone. MMS supports up to 1000 characters per a message. So in order to continue using sms you need to keep your messages at 140 characters or less including spaces
