■ Text messages (SMS)
With the short message service (SMS) you can send and receive text
messages, and receive messages that can contain pictures (network
service).
Before you can send any text or SMS e-mail message, you must save
your message center number. See “Message settings,” p. 47.
To check SMS e-mail service availability and to subscribe to the service,
contact your service provider. To save an e-mail address in
Contacts
, see
“Save numbers and text items,” p. 51.
Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the character limit for
a single message. Longer messages are sent as a series of two or more messages.
Your service provider may charge accordingly. Characters that use accents or
other marks, and characters from some language options like Chinese, take up
more space limiting the number of characters that can be sent in a single
message.
At the top of the display, you can see the message length indicator
counting backwards from the maximum number of characters
supported by the phone.
