Q9. I tried sending a picture message but i received a group graphic instead. What is wrong? A. This happens when you leave the sms parameter blank. This parameter helps our system distinguish between a group graphic and a picture message. You may specify a space if you are transmitting a picture message without any accompanying text message. Q10. How long does it take to have sms available after we purchase? A. Immediate. If after purchasing the credits do not show up, you have missed the last step which is clicking the last button to return to the SMSXchange website. This action will auto credit the sms to your account. Q11. Do you support sending Nokia screensavers? A. Screensavers is part of a format called Profile Download. We support profile downloads. Q12. I am trying to send a picture message but I do not get the picture or the image received appears distorted. What is wrong? A. Graphic content must be prepared in gif / bmp format. The graphic must be only black and white 1-bit and saved as non-interlaced. To check the graphic settings, simply right click on the graphic and view the file properties unders summary tab. This will display how many colors the graphic is saved in. |
