How do I convert a text message to a multimedia? I have several text messages on my phone. I'm trying to send them to my desktop email. But they are to large. So I was trying to convert them. Don't know how.Samsung A717. You can change a text message that you are currantly texting but not old ones. It only gives you and options to do so went sending a new text.

In some devices the message type gets converted from SMS text message to MMS multimedia message if the message length exceeds the device-specific setting which is typically 5 - 10 SMS submessages (around 760-1520 characters). If the message is longer, it is converted to MMS to avoid potential issues in handling long text messages in the recipient device. The cost of a SMS message consisting of several concatenated submessages may also be higher than the cost of a single MMS message.
The conversion from SMS text message to MMS multimedia message occurs when the automatic message type is selected in the message options. This is the default mode where the device tries to automatically select the best mode for the message.
The conversion from SMS to MMS can be avoided by selecting Options > Sending options > Message type > Text when in the Text message window writing the message. The message is then always sent as SMS text message and no conversion to MMS occurs.
The maximum number of concatenated SMS submessages can be up to 10 (around 1520 characters). In multimedia mode the message length can be longer.

You should be able to send a text message with the picture attached to an email address.

to send a multimedia message/text message w. picture attached:
-find the actual picture you want to send on your phone and select it
-then hit your "menu" or "options" button, which should give you an option to send/share the picture
-select text message or multimedia message (MMS)
-in the "to" line for the text message, enter the email address you'd like to send it to
-hit "send"

Hope this helps!

hi dear friend YOU ONLY SEND AND RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGES OK. contact your vendar for mms messages.

yes there is a way.
download "opera mini" (you can google it for download sites) for internet access. however u cannot download anything OTA (over the air) from websites.

as far as texting... the device does not support texting with boost.
there are several ways around this..

you can try a free messaging program (one such as "RAMBLE IM" to use AOL IM).
i used to use this and just send messages to peoples phone numbers that i had saved on my buddylist. (EX: +15552223333)
-OR-
you can download "GMAIL" which is google email and send emails to peoples cell phone numbers. every cell phone number comes with an email.. for example to send a text to a VERIZON customer u would send the email to [email protected] and they would just reply to it and u would get it. however, they wont see ur phone number it would show up as ur email account u set up with google mail. another however is that gmail doesnt inform u on ur handset when u receive an email u have to manually check it and refresh it but if u go to ur google email account using a computer u can go to settings/options-> forwarding/pop tab-> and forward all emails to ur phone [email protected] (EX: [email protected]) now everytime u get an email it will send it to ur handset as well and it will vibrate or ring whatever u have it on and let u know u have a message.

you can google all these programs to download them and put them on ur blackberry thru desktop manager. good luck.

As sms is text only, people will get text messages only. To convert the smiley-characters into smiley images, the receiver should have support for emoticons, or have a 3rd party program to translate the emoticons. As most phones consider SMS as text messages, they won't convert them to emoticons...

You could try sending a message to yourself, or someone else with a k850i...Just to try.

This may be the problem...
Go to messages,
press menu ( - )
go to message setup,
then MMS message setup,
then go on composing MMS,
change the reply type to short reply

Hope this helps

just happened to me. deleted my inbox(400+ messages) and it went back to normal.

dck2's solution worked for me on my razr, I opened the text message, went to "copy all text", went to "Create Message", chose "New Multimedia Message," went to "Paste," and then sent it to my email address, and the entire message went to email, including the date.

yo should contact your mobile service provider and have them assist you
