Messaging
Short Message Service
Tip: Your service provider
may send you smart
messages in the form of
short messages; these
messages may include, for
example, configuration
settings. For details, contact
your service provider.
The Short Message Service (SMS) enables you to send and receive short messages
over the digital wireless network.
Short messages can be sent or received even during voice, data, and fax calls.
Messages can be read in any mobile phone that has the capability. If the receiving
phone is switched off at the time of sending, the short message centre continues
to attempt to send the message until the validity period allowed by the network
expires.
Note: If you want to send text you have written or edited in another application
as a short message, all embedded objects or any rich formatting will be
lost. You cannot send attachments as short messages, either.
To write and send a new short message
Note: You cannot format short messages; that is; you cannot change their font,
style or format.
