6. Messaging
You can use mobile messages to keep in touch with friends, family, and business
associates by using the short message service (SMS), which is a network service.
Not all messaging features are available in all wireless networks. Contact your
service provider for availability and subscription information.
When sending messages, your phone may display the words 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.
■ 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. A message length indicator
appears at the top of the phone display. This indicator allows you to see how
many characters are left in the message as you are entering text because it
counts backwards from 913.
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.
You can use predefined templates to help you write text messages. Before you
can send any text or e-mail message, you need to save some message settings.
See ”Message settings,” p. 43.
To check SMS e-mail service availability and to subscribe to the service, contact
your service provider.
Text entry
To enter text while writing messages, use traditional or predictive text input.
When using traditional text input, press a number key, 1 to 9, repeatedly until
the character you want is displayed. In predictive text input you can enter a letter
with a single key press.
