It takes more time to send a multimedia message than to send a text message.
While the multimedia message is being sent, the animated

is displayed,

and you can use other functions on the phone. If an interruption occurs while
the message is being sent, the phone tries to resend the message a few times. If
these attempts fail, the message remains in the

Outbox

folder. You can try to

resend it later.

The sent message is saved in the

Sent items

folder if the setting

Save sent

messages

is set to

Yes

. See

Settings for multimedia messages

When the message is sent, it is not an indication that the message has been
received at the intended destination.
