Text messages
Your device supports text messages beyond the limit for a single message. Longer messages
are sent as two or more messages. Your service provider may charge accordingly. Characters
with accents or other marks, and characters from some language options, take up more
space, and limit the number of characters that can be sent in a single message.
An indicator at the top of the display shows the total number of characters left and the
number of messages needed for sending.
Before you can send any text messages, you must save your message center number. Select
Menu > Messaging > Message settings > Text messages > Message centers > Add center,
enter a name, and the number from the service provider.
Multimedia messages and multimedia plus messages
A multimedia (MMS) message can contain text, pictures, sound clips, and video clips. A
multimedia plus message can also contain any other content, even files not supported by
your phone.
Only devices that have compatible features can receive and display picture messages. The
appearance of a message may vary depending on the receiving device.
The wireless network may limit the size of MMS messages. If the inserted picture exceeds
this limit the device may make it smaller so that it can be sent by MMS.
Important: Exercise caution when opening messages. Messages may contain
malicious software or otherwise be harmful to your device or PC.
To check availability and to subscribe to the multimedia messaging service (MMS), contact
your service provider. You also may download the configuration settings.
