Your phone is capable of creating and receiving text, multimedia, voice and
minibrowser messages. Check with your service provider to see what messaging
is available for you.
■ Text messages
Text messaging is a network service. See "Network services," p. 6 for more
information. If your wireless service provider supports this feature, you can send and
receive text messages to compatible phones that are also subscribed to the service.
When composing text messages, check the number of characters allowed in the
top right corner of the message. Using special (unicode) characters takes up more
space. If there are special characters in your message, the indicator may not show
the message length correctly. Before the message is sent, the phone will tell you
if the message exceeds the maximum length allowed for one message. Also, you
can make distribution lists that contain phone numbers and names from your
contact list. See "Distribution lists," p. 46 for more information.
Note: When sending messages, your device may display 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.
