Character counter at the bottom of the text message
window shows the number of characters used in the
message in real time. If the number of characters exceeds
160 characters, then also the number of messages required
to transmit the message is displayed.
If there are special characters in your message, the
indicator may not show the message length correctly.
Non-Latin characters in some language areas or special
(Unicode) characters such as ë, â, á, ì take up more space.
Note also that sending a message in several parts may be
more expensive than sending just one message.
To specify sending options for the current message,
tap Sending options. Note that any changes you make
in this dialog affect only the current message you are
about to send. Define the following:

sent. The option On request means that the message is

want the reply message to be sent using the same
message centre number.
Message sent as: — Change this option only if you are sure
that your message centre is able to convert text messages
into other formats. Contact your network operator.
