Exchanging messages
You can send text (SMS) messages of up to 160 characters to
another mobile phone. If you keep typing after the limit, your
message is delivered as a series of messages.
Multimedia (MMS) messages can contain text and a picture, a
recorded voice, an audio file, a video, or a picture slideshow.
Messaging automatically converts a message into a multimedia
message if you send it to an email address instead of a phone
number, add a subject, or attach a media file.

1 On the Messaging screen, touch New message.

number.
