5. MESSAGING
If you have subscribed to a message network service, you can send and 
receive messages to and from compatible phones that also subscribe to 
a message service. You can also send and receive multimedia messages 
and e-mail. Messaging features are network services.
Important: Exercise caution when opening messages. 
Messages may contain malicious software or otherwise 
be harmful to your device.
Note: The message sent icon or text on your device screen 
does not indicate that the message is received at the 
intended destination.
■ Text Messages
When composing text messages (SMS) or enhanced messages (EMS, 
messages that can contain graphics, sounds, animations, or formatted 
text), the number of characters used (out of a maximum per message) 
appears in the top left corner of the message screen. Segments are created 
when the message length exceeds the maximum allowed number of 
characters. The number of segments used (out of a maximum of 7) 
appears in the top right corner of the message screen. No additional 
text can be entered when all segments and characters have been used. 
Segments are delivered as individual messages. Enhanced messages 
cannot be sent to e-mail addresses. For information on entering text 
into messages, see "Text Entry," p. 25.
■ Picture and Video Messages
Picture and video messages are multimedia messages that can contain 
text, sound, a picture, and a video clip. Your network service provider 
allows you to send and receive picture and video messages up to 500 KB. 
Depending upon your network services, you may receive a message 
that includes an internet address where you can view the picture and 
video messages.
