Nokia N8-00 - Manual (Page 52)

Sending a message with an attachment may be more expensive than sending a normal
text message. For more information, contact your service provider.
You can send text messages that are longer than the character limit for a single message.
Longer messages are sent as two or more messages. Your service provider may charge
accordingly.
Characters with accents, other marks, or some language options, take more space,
limiting the number of characters that can be sent in a single message.
If a text message is very long, it may be converted to a multimedia message to enable
delivery to the recipient. To deactivate this feature, when writing the message, select
> Sending options > Message type > Text .
If you send a text message to one or more recipients, and the contact information of
one of the recipients is a mail address instead of a phone number, the text message is
converted to a multimedia message.
If the item you insert in a multimedia message is too large for the network, the device
may automatically reduce the size.
Only compatible devices can receive and show multimedia messages. Messages may
look different in different devices.
