Warning! Do not switch on the phone when wireless 
phone use is prohibited or when it may cause interference 
or danger.
You can use the Messages menu (Menu 1) and short message 
service (SMS) to read, write, and send text messages to another 
phone in your network. You may also be able to use the minibrowser 
e-mail feature to send text messages to phones in other networks. 
Important: When sending SMS messages, your phone may display Message Sent 
(where service is available). This is an indication that the message has been sent by 
your phone to the SMS network. This is not an indication that the message has been 
received at the intended destination. For more details about SMS services, check with 
your service provider.
Note: This function can be used only if it is supported by your network operator or 
service provider. Only devices that offer compatible e-mail features can receive and 
display messages. It may require a separate subscription.

You can use the Messages menu to create and send text messages to another mobile phone in 
your network, to another mobile phone in another network, or to an e-mail recipient. You can 
also save a draft of your message in the Outbox folder for later use.
