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.
The use of special characters takes up more space than standard characters.
E-mail addresses are counted as characters. EMS messages cannot be sent
to e-mail addresses.
For information on entering text into messages, see "Text entry," p. 18.
■ PIX messaging
PIX messages are multimedia (MMS) messages that contain text, sound files,
or image files. Your phone supports PIX messages that are up to 125 KB. If the
maximum size is exceeded, your phone may not be able to receive the message.
Depending upon your network services, you may receive a message that includes
an Internet address where you can go to view the PIX messages.
