• ABOUT TEXT MESSAGES
Message recipients: The phone to which you send a text message must
support text messages. Or, you can ask the service provider to convert the
message to other formats, such as e-mail.
Message length: The maximum length of a received text message is 160
characters. Your phone has space for up to 80 text messages, depending
on the length of each message.
Network variations: The maximum length of a text message depends on
the capabilities of the network from which the message originated. Also,
text messages may appear different at different times because messages
can originate in networks other than your own.
Contact your service provider for more information about text message
