Text Messages
If you have subscribed to a message network service, you can send and receive messages between compatible devices that
also subscribe to a message service.
When composing text messages (SMS) or enhanced messages (EMS, messages that can contain simple pictures, sounds,
animations, or melodies), 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.
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. Verizon Wireless may charge accordingly.
