6. Messaging
You can read, write, send, and save text, multimedia, e-mail, audio, and
flash messages. All messages are organized into folders.
Note: When sending messages, your device may 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. This is not an
indication that the message has been received at the intended destination.
For more details about messaging services, check with your service provider.
■ 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 e-mail message, you must save
your message center number. See “Message settings,” p. 40.
To check SMS e-mail service availability and to subscribe to the service,
contact your service provider. To save an e-mail address in Contacts, see
“Save details,” p. 44.
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.
