Sending SMS messages
You can send SMS messages to contacts who have an SMS-
compatible phone number. SMS messages can contain up to 160
characters.
If your service provider supports SMS concatenation, an SMS
message that contains more than 160 characters, is sent over the
wireless network in multiple, successive messages that appear on
your handheld as one message. The number of characters that you
type, and the number of messages that are required to send your
message, appear in the upper right corner of the screen.
