in the total character count of the message. See
the note under step 5 in “Creating a text message”
on page22.
If you cannot send messages
You may not be able to send or receive messages
if your phone’s memory is nearly full, or if digital
service is not available at the time. To free up
memory, erase old messages. See “Erasing
messages” on page 27.
Understanding appended messages
If you go over the character limit for a single
message, the phone may automatically append an
empty segment to your message to make space.
Important: Your service provider will charge you
for each message segment.
When you start a message, the maximum
character limit appears once you are in the
message entry field. This number counts down as
you enter characters, until it reaches 0. If you
continue to enter text after this counter reaches 0,
a message segment may be appended. When you
reach the message size limit, you are prompted to
edit the message or alerted that the message is
being appended.
