Creating a message
Creating a new message is by default a text message but changes automatically
into multimedia message when files are added.
Text messages (SMS)
With the short message service (SMS) you can send and receive text messages,
and receive messages that can contain pictures (network service).
Before you can send any text or SMS e-mail messages, 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 Contacts, see “Save details,”
p. 35.
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, take up more space, limiting 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. For example, 673/2 means that
there are 673 characters left and that the message will be sent as a series of two
messages.
Write and send a text message
1. Select Menu > Messaging > Create message > Message.

from a memory, select Add.
