Your phone can create and receive text, multimedia, voice and minibrowser
messages. Check with your service provider to see what messaging is available
for you.
■ Text messages
Text messaging is a network service. See "Network services," p. 6, for more
information. If your wireless service provider supports this feature, you can send
and receive text messages to compatible phones that are also subscribed to the
service.
When you write messages, the number of characters used is displayed on the
upper right of the screen. Special (unicode) characters take more space than is
indicated. Before the message is sent, a prompt will indicate whether the
message is over the maximum length. Also, you can make distribution lists that
contain phone numbers and names from your contact list. See "Distribution lists,"
p. 36 for more information.
Note: When sending messages, your device may display Message sent.
This is an indication that the message has been sent by your device to the
message center number programmed into your device. This is not an
indication that the message has been received at the intended
destination. For more details about messaging services, check with your
service provider.
