Possible statuses for sent messages are:
Delivered – The message has been delivered to the recipient.
Pending – The message has not been delivered to the recipient yet. If the
recipient of a message cannot be reached within the set message validity
period, the message is removed from the message centre.
Failed – The message could not be delivered to the recipient. The recipient was
not reached within the set message validity period and the message was
removed from the message centre.
The Sent messages page contains a copy of each sent message.
The Contacts page enables you to manage contact information and business
cards stored on the SIM card. You can create, edit, and delete contacts, and
send business cards as text messages.
Text messages
Before you can send any text messages, you need to save your message centre
number. See “Configuring message settings” on page 48 for more information.
Make sure you have either a GSM or GPRS connection type selected. You cannot
send or receive messages when connected to WLAN.
Sending text messages
1 Click on the toolbar, or click New on the File menu. The Message Editor
dialog box opens.
2 In the Message field, type the message. The character counter above the field
shows how many characters you have left and in how many messages the text
will be sent.
Note: The standard length of a text message is 160 characters. Messages
longer than this can be sent as several normal text messages or as one
concatenated text message which is received as one long message if the
recipient's device supports this function. You can select the Send long
messages option on the Settings page of the Nokia D211. See
“Configuring message settings” on page 48 for more information.
You can attach a picture to the text message. See “Sending picture messages”
on page 49 for more information.
3 Click the Add Recipients button. Select the recipient from the list of contacts
on the left and click the arrow button pointing to the right. If you do not
have a contact card created for the recipient, type the phone number in the
Number box and click the arrow button. Note that you can send the message
to several recipients.
When you have selected the recipients, click OK.
4 To send the message, click on the toolbar.
