Creating and sending new messages

You can start to create a message in two ways:
• By selecting New message→
Messaging main view, or
• Start to create a message from an application that has the option Send. In this case the
file that was selected (such as an image or text) is added to the message.
Writing and sending short messages
1 Select New message. A list of message options opens. See Fig. 2, p. 65.
2 Select Create: Short message. The editor opens with the cursor in the
joystick to select recipient(s) from the Contacts directory or write the phone number of
the recipient. Press
joystick down to move to the message field.
3 Write the message.
Note: Your phone supports sending of multiple short messages at the same time,
therefore, the normal 160 characters limit for one short message can be
exceeded. If your text exceeds 160 characters, it will be sent in two or more
messages and message sending may cost you more.
In the navigation bar, you can see the message length indicator counting backwards
from 160. For example, 10 (2) means that you can still add 10 characters for the text
to be sent as two messages.
Note: Using special (Unicode) characters such as ë, â, á, ì takes up more space.
If you are using special characters in your message the indicator may not show
the message length correctly. Before the message is sent, the phone tells you if
the message exceeds the maximum length allowed for one message. You can
cancel sending by pressing Cancel.
4 To send the message, select Options→
