Your phone can send and receive messages to compatible
phones and devices. If a message exceeds 160 characters, it
is broken up and delivered in separate messages, which
incur additional cost. Before you send messages, it’s best to
cover the basics of composing messages using the four entry
modes of
Abc , Symbol , 123 , and T9 Word .
Available memory is shared between all messages. You can
store up to 50 incoming and 50 outgoing messages.
However, the exact number depends upon message length.
Text entry modes
Messages can be made up of alphabetical characters,
symbols, and numbers. Each method for entering text is
outlined in the following table and explained in greater detail
in the sections that follow.
The current mode of text entry is indicated in the lower right
corner of the display.
