7. Messaging
You can read, write, send, and save text, multimedia, and audio messages. All messages are
organized into folders.
■ Text messages
Use the short message service (SMS) to send and receive text messages, and receive messages
that can contain pictures (network service).
Before you can send any text or SMS e-mail message, you must save your message center
number. See ”Message settings,” p. 26.
To check SMS e-mail service availability and to subscribe to the service, contact your service
provider. To save an e-mail address in Address Book, see ”Save details,” p. 46.
Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the character limit for a single
message. Longer messages will be sent as a series of two or more messages. Your service
provider may charge accordingly. Characters that use accents or other marks, and characters
from some language options like Chinese, take up more space, limiting the number of
characters that can be sent in a single message.
The message length indicator at the top of the display shows the total number of characters
left and the number of messages needed for sending. For example, 673/2 means that there
are 673 characters left and that the message will be sent as a series of two messages.
