14 Communicate with text
messages
You can use your phone to send and receive short text messages if your
service provider offers the message feature and if you subscribe to the
service. You can also send and receive messages that contain a person’s
name and number (a “business card”).
• ABOUT TEXT MESSAGES
Message recipients: The phone to which you send a text message must
support text messages. Or, you can ask the service provider to convert the
message to other formats, such as e-mail.
Message length: The maximum length of a received text message is 160
characters. Your phone has space for up to 80 text messages, depending
on the length of each message.
Network variations: The maximum length of a text message depends on
the capabilities of the network from which the message originated. Also,
text messages may appear different at different times because messages
can originate in networks other than your own.
Contact your service provider for more information about text message
services.
• WRITE WITH STANDARD TEXT ENTRY
You can write a message two ways: using standard (ABC) text entry or
using predictive text. Standard text entry is the default method for text
entry. The ABC icon <ABC icon> appears as visual confirmation that
you’re using this method.
