You can use mobile messages to keep in touch with friends,
family, and business associates by using the short message
service (SMS). Not all messaging features are available in all
wireless networks. Contact your service provider for availability
and subscription information.
When sending messages, your phone may display the words Message sent. This is an
indication that the message has been sent by your device to the message centre
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 (network service)
Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the character limit for a
single message. If your message exceeds 160 characters, it will be sent as a series
of two or more messages. 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.
Using special (Unicode) characters, such as ë, â, á, ì, takes up more space. If there
are special characters in your message, the indicator may not show the message
length correctly. Before the message is sent, the device tells you if the message
exceeds the maximum length allowed for one message. You can cancel sending
by selecting Cancel or you can save the message in the inbox.
You can add pictures and templates to your text messages. Text templates are
indicated by and picture templates are indicated by . Each picture message
is made up of several text messages. Therefore, sending one picture message may
cost more than sending one text message. Contact your service provider for
pricing information.
Before you can send any text, picture, or e-mail message, you need to save some
message settings. See "Message settings" on page 34.
To check SMS e-mail service availability and to subscribe to the service, contact
your service provider.
