Messages (Menu 1)

With the Short Message Service (SMS) network service you can send short text
messages to phones which have SMS capability.
Before you can send any text or picture messages, you need to save your message centre number in the
phone, see Message settings on page 55. You will receive the number from your service provider when
you subscribe to the Short Message Service.
Note: When sending messages via the SMS network service, your phone may display the words
sent. This is an indication that the message has been sent by your phone to the message centre number
programmed into your phone. This is not an indication that the message has been received at the
intended destination. For more details about SMS services, check with your service provider.

Writing a message

You can write multi-part text messages of almost up to three ordinary text messages in length
(network service). Note, however, that invoicing is based on how many ordinary messages are needed
for any multi-part message.
