7. Messaging
You can read, write, send, and save text, multimedia, and audio messages.
All messages are organized into folders.
■ Text messages
Use the short message service (SMS) to send and receive text messages, and receive
messages that can contain pictures (network service).
Before you can send any text or SMS e-mail message, you must save your message
center number. See "Message settings," p. 32.
To check SMS e-mail service availability and to subscribe to the service, contact
your service provider. To save an e-mail address in Address Book, see "Save details,"
p. 58.
Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the character limit for
a single message. Longer messages will be 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.
The message length indicator at the top of the display shows the total number
of characters left and the number of messages needed for sending. For example,
673/2 means that there are 673 characters left and that the message will be sent
as a series of two messages.
