6. Messaging
You can read, write, send, and save text, multimedia, email, audio, and flash messages. All messages are
organized into folders.
Text messages (SMS)
With the short message service (SMS) you can send and receive text messages, and receive messages that can
contain pictures (network service).
Before you can send any text or SMS email message, you must save your message center number. See Message
settings p. 55.
To check SMS email service availability and to subscribe to the service, contact your service provider. To save an
email address in Contacts, see Save multiple numbers, text items, or an image p. 59.
Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the character limit for a single message. Longer messages will be
sent as a series of two or more messages. Your service provider may charge accordingly. Characters that use accents or other
marks, and characters from some language options like Chinese, take up more space limiting the number of characters that
can be sent in a single message.
The message length indicator at the top of the display shows the total number of characters left and the
number of messages needed for sending. For example, 673/2 means that there are 673 characters left and that
the message will be sent as a series of two messages.
