5. Messaging
If you have subscribed to a message network service, you can
send and receive messages to and from compatible phones
that also subscribe to a message service. You can also send
and receive multimedia messages and e-mail. Messaging
features are network services.
Important: Exercise caution opening messages.
Messages may contain malicious software or
otherwise be harmful to your phone or PC.
Note: When sending messages, your phone may
display MESSAGE SENT. This is an indication that the
message has been sent by your phone to the message
center number programmed into your phone. This is
not an indication that the message has been received
at the intended destination. For messages that fail, the
network will create a new error message, explaining
why the message was not delivered. Contact Verizon
for more details about messaging services.
■ TXT messaging
When composing TXT messages (SMS) or enhanced messages
(EMS, messages that can contain graphics, sounds or
formatted text), the number of characters used (out of a
maximum per message) appears in the top left corner of the
message screen. Segments are created when the message
length exceeds the maximum allowed number of characters.
The number of segments used (out of a maximum of 7) appears
in the top right corner of the message screen. No additional
text can be entered when all segments and characters have
been used. Segments are delivered as individual messages.
