You can read, write, send, and save text,
multimedia, e-mail, audio, and flash
messages. All messages are organized
into folders.
■ Text messages (SMS)
With the short message service (SMS)
you can send and receive text messages,
and receive messages that can contain
pictures (network service).
Before you can send any text or SMS
e-mail message, you must save your
message center number. See “Message
settings,” p. 41.
To check SMS e-mail service availability
and to subscribe to the service, contact
your service provider. To save an e-mail
address in Contacts, see “Save numbers
and text items,” p. 44.
Your device supports the sending of text
messages beyond the character limit for
a single message. Longer messages are
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 counting
backwards from the maximum number of
characters supported by the phone.
