Messaging
You can exchange brief text and multimedia messages with other mobile phones that
support these forms of messaging (also known as SMS and MMS) and with email
addresses. Before you use your Treo™ 650 smartphone to send or receive messages,
consult Cingular Wireless for pricing and availability of text and multimedia messaging
services.

Each text (SMS) message can hold up to 160 characters. Messages with more than
160 characters are automatically split into several messages. (If you send a text
message to an email address, the email address is deducted from the 160 character
count.)
