■ Text Messages
When composing text messages (SMS) or enhanced messages (EMS,
messages that can contain simple pictures, sounds, animations, or
melodies), the number of characters used (out of a maximum per
message) appears in the top left corner of the message screen.
Segments are created when the message length exceeds the maximum
allowed number of characters. The number of segments used (out
of a maximum of 7) appears in the top right corner of the message
screen. No additional text can be entered when all segments and
characters have been used. Segments are delivered as individual
messages. For information on entering text into messages, see "Text
Entry," p. 27.
■ Picture Messages
Picture messages are multimedia messages that can contain text,
pictures, camera pictures, slides, and sound recordings. Depending
upon your network services, you may receive a message that includes
an internet address where you can view the picture messages.
