You can use mobile messages to keep in touch with friends,
family, and business associates by using the short message
service (SMS). Not all messaging features are available in all
wireless networks. Contact your service provider for availability
and subscription information.
When sending messages, your device may display Message sent . This is an indication
that the message has been sent by your device to the message center 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 (network service)
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. In the navigation bar, 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.
Using special (Unicode) characters, such as л, в, б, м, takes up more space. If there
are special characters in your message, the indicator may not show the message
length correctly. Before the message is sent, the device tells you if the message
exceeds the maximum length allowed for one message. You can cancel sending
by selecting
Cancel or you can save the message in the inbox.
You can add pictures and templates to your text messages. Text templates are
indicated by
and picture templates are indicated by . Each picture
message is made up of several text messages. Therefore, sending one picture
message may cost more than sending one text message. Contact your service
provider for pricing information.
Before you can send a message, you need to save some message settings.
