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, 
items, or an image, page 58.
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.
On top of the display you can see the message length indicator counting the number of 
characters available. For example, 10/2 means that you can still add 10 characters for the 
text to be sent as two messages. 
Write and send an SMS message
1. Select Menu > Messages > Create message > Text message.
2. Enter a message. See Write text, page 34. To insert text templates or a picture 
into the message, see Templates, page 39. Each picture message comprises 
several text messages. Sending one picture or multipart message may cost 
more than sending one text message.
3. To send the message, select Send > Recently used, To phone number, To 
many, To e-mail address, or to send a message using a predefined message 
profile, select Via sending profile. For the sending profile, see Text and SMS e-
mail, page 54. Select or enter a phone number or e-mail address, or select a 
profile.
