7. Messaging
You can read, write, send, and save messages. The messaging services can only be
used if supported by your service provider.
For more details about messaging services, contact your service provider.
Note: The message sent icon or text on your device screen does not
indicate that the message is received at the intended destination.
■ Text and multimedia messages
You can create a message, and optionally attach, for example, an image. Your
device automatically changes a text message to a multimedia message when a file
is attached.
■ Text messages
Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the character limit for a
single message. Longer messages are sent as a series of two or more messages.
Your service provider may charge accordingly. Characters that use accents or other
marks and characters from some language options, such as Spanish, take up more
space, which limits 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 need to save your message center
number. Select Menu > Messaging > Message settings > Text messages > Message
centers > Add center, enter a name, and the number provided by your service
provider.
