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.
1 Press Write short message in the main view of Messaging. The SMS editor

to an older mobile phone, the older phone may not be able to view the message. In
this case, send the message without special or accented characters.
2 Press Recipient to select the recipient, or type the number directly into the
header of the message.
