The accounts in Messages
When you open Messages, a list of your accounts appears.
The top items in the list, Create SMS, and Create MMS, are
shortcuts for directly creating new text messages (SMS or
EMS).
An asterisk next to an account indicates that a message has
arrived since you last opened the accounts inbox.
Handling text messages
A text message is sent via SMS (Short Message Service). It can
contain up to 160 characters (70 characters if you use non-Latin
characters). If you create a longer message it will be sent as two
(or more) separate messages (concatenated), but usually
received as one message. If you add pictures, sounds and other
items to your message it becomes an EMS message.
Text messages can be sent to one or more people (not more than
thirty, we recommend), and you can request a delivery report
when your text messages have been delivered to the recipients.
The delivery report arrives on your P908 as a text message.
If you leave the message before sending it, it will automatically
be stored in the
Draft folder (unless you edit a message which
was already located in Outbox).
To write and send a text message
1. In Messages select Create SMS . (You can also select SMS >
tap Message > New .)
2. Enter the recipient’s number or select To and select recipient
or recipients from your contact list and select Done.
3. Write your message.
4. Go to the address tab and specify whether you want a
delivery report or not.
