Writing and sending short messages
1 Select New message. A list of message options opens. See Fig. 2, p. 64.
2 Select Create:→ Short message. The editor opens with the cursor in the To: field. Press
the joystick to select recipient(s) from the Contacts directory or write the phone number
of the recipient. Press to add a semicolon (;) to separate each recipient. Move
the joystick down to move to the message field.
3 Write the message.
Note: Your phone supports sending of multiple short messages at the same time,
therefore, the normal 160 characters limit for one short message can be
exceeded. If your text exceeds 160 characters, it will be sent in two or more
messages and message sending may cost you more.
In the navigation bar, you can see the message length indicator counting backwards
from 160. For example, 10 (2) means that you can still add 10 characters for the text
to be sent as two messages.
Options in the short
message editor: Send, Add
recipient, Insert, Delete,
Message details, Sending
options, and Exit.
4 To send the message, select Options→ Send or press .
