• LEARN ABOUT E-MAIL TEXT MESSAGES
You can also use the Messages menu to write and send text messages to
a person’s Internet or corporate e-mail account or to phones in other
networks.
Important: The message can contain up to 160 characters.
However, the length of your message is affected by the length of
the e-mail address to which you are sending the message. A
lengthy e-mail address will lessen the amount of available
characters you can place in the message.
Create and send an e-mail message
Use the same procedure for creating and sending e-mail messages as
found in the section, “Write a text message” on page 62. However, select
Add e-mail, then enter the e-mail address (or press Search and recall an
e-mail address stored in your phone book).
Messages to phones in other networks
Most service providers now have the ability to route e-mail messages to
your phone (appearing as text messages). The following are just a few
examples of how your phone e-mail address may appear:
2135551234@myserviceprovider.com
username@serviceprovider.com
2135551234@mobile.myserviceprovider.com
It can be difficult to send messages to phones outside your service
provider’s network using traditional text messaging. However, it is
possible to send a text message as an e-mail to phones outside your
service provider’s network (provided the recipient’s phone is capable of
receiving e-mail text messages).
Follow the instructions, “Write a text message” on page 62 but select Add
e-mail. Enter the e-mail address associated with the recipient’s phone
number (or press Search and recall the e-mail address stored in your
phone book).
