Short Message Service, commonly abbreviated as SMS, is a text messaging service component of most telephone, Internet and mobile device systems. It uses standardized communication protocols that let mobile phones exchange short text messages, typically transmitted over cellular networks.
Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) is a standard way to send messages that include multimedia content to and from a mobile phone over a cellular network. Users and providers may refer to such a message as a PXT, a picture message, or a multimedia message. The MMS standard extends the core SMS capability, allowing the exchange of text messages greater than 160 characters in length. Unlike text-only SMS, MMS can deliver a variety of media, including up to forty seconds of video, one image, a slideshow of multiple images, or audio.

A mobile phone or cell phone is a portable telephone that can make and receive calls over a radio frequency link while the user is moving within a telephone service area, as opposed to a fixed-location phone. The radio frequency link establishes a connection to the switching systems of a mobile phone operator, which provides access to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Modern mobile telephone services use a cellular network architecture, and therefore mobile telephones are called cellphones in North America. In addition to telephony, digital mobile phones support a variety of other services, such as text messaging, multimedia messaging, email, Internet access, short-range wireless communications, satellite access, business applications, payments, multimedia playback and streaming, digital photography, and video games. Mobile phones offering only basic capabilities are known as feature phones ; mobile phones that offer greatly advanced computing capabilities are referred to as smartphones.

The Nokia 7260 was one of three fashion phones released together by Nokia brand in 2004. The other phones released with the Nokia 7260, were seemingly the Nokia 7270, and the Nokia 7280. The design of these phones are considered by some to represent a continuation of the "fashion phones" theme which was seemingly popular at the time. "Fashion" centric mobile phones, is a term associated with a supposed trend that Nokia, in particular, as well as other mobile phone sellers/designers, are argued to have elaborated upon, through the design of their associated products, during said time period. The phone was notable for the black and silver, and or white and silver(depending on specific sub-model) coloration motif that arguably sort of defined the aesthetic of said line of phones. The design of the phone is also arguably notable for the relatively unusual shape of the case/body of the phone. It is worth noting perhaps, however, that though the Nokia 7260's case/body shape was arguably somewhat unique, it was not as unusual as that of some similar phones in said line of phones, for ex., that of the Nokia 7280. The Nokia 7260 is no longer being actively produced by Nokia, etc., and hence is considered to be "discontinued" at time of writing (2023). Nonetheless, copies of the phone's associated "user manual" can still be found, in digital format, on, for example, the internet.
