Messaging
Your SMS (text message) and MMS (multimedia
messaging service) are combined into one menu in
Home Key >
> Messaging.
The Message Box
Instead of an inbox and outbox, your phone organizes
all messages you sent and received into one box, where
messages exchanged with the same party are grouped
into a message thread on the Messaging Screen. You
can tap a message thread to see the conversations you
have had with someone.
Message threads are sorted in chronological order with
the latest one on top.
Sending a Message
1. Press the Home Key > > Messaging.
2. Tap New message or Menu Key > Compose.
3. Enter the recipient’s number or name. As you type,
matching contacts will appear. Tap a suggested
contact to add as a recipient.

Press the Menu Key to insert Quick Text,

If you are sending an MMS, press the Menu Key
to attach pictures, videos, audio, or slideshows.

NOTE: Add an attachment to the text message
and it will be converted into an MMS automatically.

it’ll automatically become a text message.
