Messages
Stay in touch with your friends, and send them text or multimedia messages, or start a chat.
You can open messages directly from the start screen. Tap Messaging.
You can send and receive different kinds of messages:
• Text messages
• Multimedia messages that contain attachments, such as photos
• Chat messages
Messages and chats between you and a particular contact are arranged into conversations.
When you want to get in touch with a contact, your phone can help you pick the best method. If your
contact is signed in to a chat service, you can send a chat. Otherwise, you can send a text message
instead.
If you make contact groups containing, for example, family or colleagues, you can send a message
to a group.
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, and limit the
number of characters that can be sent in a single message.
Using services or downloading content may cause transfer of large amounts of data, which may result
in data traffic costs.
