If you have subscribed to a message network service, you can send
messages to and receive messages from compatible phones that are also
subscribed to compatible message services.
You can also send and receive
picture messages and multimedia messages, if supported by your service
provider. To send and receive messages, you need a messaging service through
your service provider, and a message center number saved in your phone. See
“Text entry” on page 25 for more information.
Note: When sending messages, your device may display 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.
Important: Exercise caution when opening messages. Messages may
contain malicious software or otherwise be harmful to your device or PC.
• Linked messages
Your phone can send and receive long text messages. Long text messages are
automatically split into multiple messages and sent as a series. For this feature
to work properly, the receiving phone must also support linked messages.
While you write a message, the number of available characters and the current
part number of linked message (for example, 120/2) are shown.
While receiving linked messages, you can start reading the first part before the
phone has received the entire message. If you may see *some text missing* on
the display, the message content will be updated as soon as the missing
sequence arrives.
If the memory is full, you may have to delete a message from your inbox or
outbox before your phone can update the missing text. See “Delete messages”
on page 30 for more information.
