Nokia 5310 - Manual (Page 21)

Text and multimedia messages
You can create a message and optionally attach, for example, a picture. Your phone
automatically changes a text message to a multimedia message when a file is attached.
Text messages
Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the limit for a single
message. Longer messages are sent as two or more messages. Your service provider
may charge accordingly. Characters with accents or other marks, and characters from
some language options, take up more space, and limit the number of characters that
can be sent in a single message.
An indicator at the top of the display shows the total number of characters left and the
number of messages needed for sending.
Before you can send any text or SMS e-mail messages, you must save your message
center number. Select Menu > Messaging > Message settings > Text
messages > Message centers > Add center, enter a name, and the number from
the service provider.
Multimedia messages
A multimedia message can contain text, pictures, sound clips, and video clips.
Important: Exercise caution when opening messages. Messages may contain
malicious software or otherwise be harmful to your device or PC.
To check availability and to subscribe to the multimedia messaging service (MMS),
contact your service provider. You also may download the configuration settings. See
"Nokia support," p. 9.
