Text and multimedia messages
You can create a message and optionally
attach, for example, a picture. Your device
automatically changes a text message to
a multimedia message when a file is
attached.
Text messages
Your device supports text messages
beyond the limit for a single message.
Longer messages are sent as two or more
messages. Your service provider may
charge accordingly. Characters with
accents, other marks, or some language
options take more space, and limit the
number of characters that can be sent in
a single message.
The total number of characters left and
the number of messages needed for
sending are displayed.
To send messages, the correct message
centre number must be stored in your
device. Normally, this number is set by
default through your SIM card.
Set the message centre number
manually
1 Select Menu > Messaging and
More > Msg. settings > Text
messages > Message centre.
2 Enter the name and the number
supplied by the service provider.
Multimedia messages
A multimedia message can contain text,
pictures, and sound or video clips.
Only devices that have compatible
features can receive and display
multimedia messages. The appearance of
a message may vary depending on the
receiving device.
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.
Important: Exercise caution when
opening messages. Messages may contain
malicious software or otherwise be
harmful to your device or PC.
For availability and subscription to the
multimedia messaging service (MMS),
contact your service provider.
