Messages
Note: When sending messages, your device may display the words
Message sent
. This is an indication that
the message has been sent by your device to the message centre number programmed into your device.
This is not an indication that the message has been received at the intended destination. For more details
about messaging services, check with your service provider.
Text messages
You can send and receive multipart messages made of several ordinary text messages (network service) that can contain
pictures.
Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the normal 160-character limit. If your message exceeds 160
characters, it will be sent as a series of two or more messages.
On the top of the display, you can see the message length indicator counting backwards from 160. For example, 10 (2)
means that you can still add 10 characters for the text to be sent as two messages.
Note that using special (Unicode) characters such as л, в, б, м take up more space.
Writing and sending a text message
Note: Picture message function can be used only if it is supported by your network operator or service
provider. Only devices that offer picture message features can receive and display picture messages.
