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.
The Messaging application 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.
To send a text message
1 On the Messaging screen, touch New message.
2 Enter a mobile phone number in the To field.
As you enter the mobile phone number, matching contacts appear.
You can touch a suggested recipient or continue entering the phone
number.
3 Touch the text field to start entering your message.
As you near the 160-character limit, a counter appears in the top right
corner of the text field to tell you how many characters are left.
If you touch the Back Key
while composing a message, it’s saved
as a draft in your Messaging menu. Touch the message to resume
composing it.
