Text Messaging (SMS)
With text messaging (SMS), you can send and receive
text messages between your phone and another
messaging-ready phone. When you receive a new
message, it will automatically display on your phone’s
screen.
In addition, text messaging includes a variety of preset
messages, such as “The meeting has been cancelled,”
that make composing messages fast and easy. Use
your phone to customize your own preset messages
(up to 50 characters).
Text messages can be composed of up to six
segments of 160 characters each, for a total of 960
characters per text message. The current segment and
total segment count is displayed at the top of each
segment. For example, (5/6) at the top of a segment
would indicate you are viewing segment five of a six-
segment message.
