If you cannot send messages
You may not be able to send or receive messages if
your phone’s memory is nearly full, or if digital
service is not available at the time. To free up
memory, erase old messages. See “Erasing
messages” on page 28.
Understanding appended messages
If you go over the character limit for a single
message, the phone may automatically append an
empty segment to your message to make space.
Important: Your service provider charges you
for each message segment.
When you start a message, the maximum character
limit (“169” in the example) appears below the text
entry field. This number counts down as you enter
characters, until it reaches 0. If you continue to enter
text after this counter reaches 0, a message segment
may be appended. When you reach the message size
limit you are prompted to edit the message or alerted
that the message is being appended.
