5. Messaging
If you have subscribed to a message network service, you can send
and receive messages to 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 device or PC.
Note: When sending messages, your device will display Message Sent.
This is an indication that the message has been sent by your device to
the message center number programmed into your device. 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 or enhanced (EMS) messages, the number of characters
used (out of a maximum of 160 per message) appears in the top right corner of
the message screen. Segments are created when the message length exceeds
160 characters. The number of segments used (out of a maximum of 7) appears
in the top left 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. 17.
■ PIX and FLIX messaging
PIX and FLIX messages are multimedia (MMS) messages that can contain text,
sound, a picture, and a video clip. Your device supports PIX messages that are up
to 300 KB and FLIX messages that are up to 200 KB. If the maximum size is
exceeded, your device may not be able to receive the message. Depending upon
your network, you may receive a message that includes an Internet address
where you can go to view the PIX and FLIX messages.
