Communicate with text messages
15 Communicate with text
messages
You can use your phone to send and receive short text messages and e-mail
if your service provider offers the message feature and if you subscribe to
the service. Both services are network dependent features, so you must
consult your service provider.
• TEXT MESSAGES
Message recipients: The phone to which you send a text message must
support text messages. It may not be possible to send an SMS text message
to someone’s phone who has an account with a different service provider
or a phone with a different protocol, but you can send and receive e-mail
messages.
Message length: The maximum length of a received text message is 160
characters. Your phone has space for several text messages, depending on
the length of each message. The maximum length of a text message depends
on the capabilities of the network from which the message originated.
• USE FOLDERS FOR TEXT MESSAGES
Your phone has four folders for managing text messages.
Inbox
The inbox stores messages you receive. Messages remain
in the inbox until you delete them or save them in the
archive folder.
Outbox
The outbox stores messages you have written, sent,
edited and forwarded.
Archive
The archive folder stores messages you want to save.
Templates
The templates folder stores message templates you edit
and create. A
template
is like a form letter—a message
you can use many times.
