Messaging
Short Message Service
Tip: Your service provider
may send you smart messages
in the form of short messages;
these messages may include,
for example, configuration
settings. For details, contact
your service provider.
The Short Message Service (SMS) enables you to send and receive short messages
over the digital wireless system.
Short messages can be sent or received even during voice, data, and fax calls. Messages
can be read in any mobile phone that has the capability. If the receiving phone is
switched off at the time of sending, the short message center continues to attempt
to send the message until the validity period allowed by the system expires.
Note: If you want to send text you have written or edited in another application
as a short message, all embedded objects or any rich formatting will be
lost. You cannot send attachments as short messages, either.
Write and send a new short message
Note: You cannot change the font, style or format of short messages.
Tip: When sending a short
message that contains special
or accented characters to an
older mobile phone, the older
phone may not be able to
view the message. In this case,
send the message without
special or accented characters.
1 Press Write short message in the main view of Messaging. The SMS editor
