• TEXT MESSAGES
You can use the text message feature to compose and send a short text message
to another phone. 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.
Send
1 Select Menu > Messages > Text messages > Create message.
2 Compose a message and select Options > Send.
3 Enter the recipient’s phone number and select OK.
If you need to exit while writing the message, press the End key anytime. Later, select
Menu > Messages > Text messages > Create message to return and finish writing
the message. If you turn off the phone without saving the message, the message will
be lost.
When sending messages, your device may display the words 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.
Send to multiple recipients
You can send the same message to more than one recipient. Before using this
feature, the names of your recipients must be entered into Contacts. See “Save
names, numbers, and e-mail addresses” on page 30.
1 From the message screen, select Options > Sending options > Send to many.
2 Select the person’s name and Send.
3 To add other names to the message, repeat step 2.
Read
When you receive a text message, the phone beeps and the icon and n
message(s) received appears, where n is the number of messages.
To read the message now, select Show.
