6. Messaging

You can read, write, send, and save text and picture messages, postcards, and
voice notes. All messages are organized into folders.

■ Text messages

With the short message service (SMS) you can send and receive text messages,
and receive messages that can contain pictures (network service dependency).
Before you can send any text or SMS e-mail message, you must save your
message center number. See "Message settings," p. 32.
To check SMS e-mail service availability and to subscribe to the service, contact
your service provider. To save an e-mail address in Phonebook, see "Save details,"
p. 34.
Your device supports the sending of text messages beyond the character limit for
a single message. Longer messages will be 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.
An indicator at the top of the display shows the total number of characters left
and the number of messages needed for sending. For example, 673/2 means that
there are 673 characters left and that the message will be sent as a series of 2
messages.
