What are the size limitations for picture and video messages?
Picture and video messages sent between handsets are only limited by the phone model. Contact a U.S. Cellular Associate for size limitations for your specific phone. For videos, 15 seconds is a good rule of thumb for maximum length. Incoming picture and video messages from email are limited to 5MB. • For emails greater than 5MB: If an email is sent to a Picture and Video Messaging phone that exceeds the 5MB limit, the person sending the email will receive a ‘Message Failure’ email to indicate that the message is too large and therefore was unable to be sent. Users can check the total size of the email being sent to help predict if the email will exceed this limit. • For emails less than 5MB: Email messages less than the 5MB limit will be reduced to a size the phone can handle. The conversion process will lessen the quality of the picture or video along with the file size.
