The message services can only be 
used if they are supported by your 
network or your service provider.
Note: When sending 
messages, your phone may 
display the words Message 
sent. This is an indication 
that the message has been 
sent by your device to the 
message centre number 
programmed into your 
device. This is not an 
indication that the message 
has been received at the 
intended destination. For 
more details about 
messaging services, check 
with your service provider.
Important: Exercise caution 
when opening messages. 
Messages may contain 
malicious software or 
otherwise be harmful to 
your device or PC. 
Only devices that have compatible 
features can receive and display 
messages. The appearance of a 
message may vary depending on the 
receiving device.
■ Text messages (SMS)
Using the short message service 
(SMS) you can send and receive 
multipart messages made of several 
ordinary text messages (network 
service) that can contain pictures.
Before you can send any text, 
picture, or e-mail message, you must 
save your message center number. 
See "Message settings" p. 25.
To check SMS e-mail service 
availability and to subscribe to the 
service, contact your service 
provider.
Your device supports the sending of 
text messages beyond the character 
limit for a single message. Longer 
messages will be sent as a series of 
two or more messages. Your service 
provider may charge accordingly. 
Characters that use accents or other 
marks, and characters from some 
language options like Chinese, take 
up more space limiting the number 
of characters that can be sent in a 
single message.
At the top of the display, you can see 
the message length indicator that 
tracks the number of characters 
available. For example, 10/2 means 
that you can still add 10 characters
