Write and send messages
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.
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 like Chinese, take up
more space limiting the number of characters that can be sent in a single
message.
Note: Only devices that have compatible features can receive and
display multimedia messages. The appearance of a message may vary
