Like you Tony I have sent audio message to a friend but she hadn't a clue what it was all about when she received it. I made the message which was excellent and of course not too long, otherwise it will not go. It goes as multi-media. When I checked in my Sent folder the message was there and I was able to select on the message icon and it played just fine for me. Sometimes when sending a multi-media message the person may not be able to view it immediately and maybe in this case hear it immediately. Certainly if this happens with Vodafone, a link on-line is given where the message can be viewed. ----- Original Message ----- From: tony sweeney To: students list Sent: Sunday, March 27, 2011 5:34 PM Subject: [vip_students] Mobile Phone: Audio Messages Hi Folk, I use NokiaE51 and wonder can you receive audio messages with it (or indeed other Nokia phones)? I can certainly send them which I did but we couldn't find it on the E51 when the text message sent, accompanying came in! Has anyone successfully retrieved audio messages using their Nokia? Tony
